My son is 20 mos old and like you said his understanding of words is huge but he speaks very few words and mostly just syllables out of words ( like moo-moo for moon , and lo-lo for lorry ) . Should I be worried or just accept that maybe he's a late talker ? I find he watches videos of kids enacting rhymes and understands words from that well (like points to clock when they sing hiuckory dickory ) but he still doesn't speak the words. We also read a few books ( words and pictures books ) to him - he's not yet fond of story books and doesn't have the attention span for it. What esle can I do ? Thanks Meenakshi K Hi ,
