Cecily began to put two and three word phrases together in this last week. She turned 18 months two days ago.
Lils has a lot to say.
So far, we have “want orange juice please” (so I guess that is technically 4 words), “please gago there with bike” (the with part was left out), and last night while driving away from Grandma’s she signed “red balloons, red lights, car, go” referring to the brake lights and the balloons at the car dealer.
In reading what the typical 18 month old demonstrates as far as phrase communication, from what I can tell, most of them have the ability to offer 2 word phrases, though limited, by this age. Finding an 18 month old who strings together 4 – 7 words logically seems to be rather rare, except if that 18 month old knows Sign.
