I think around 15 months she probably had about 5? Not very many. </p> <p>She's definitely a late talker! 22 months now And has about 55 words. I'm so jealous of all you mamas with chatty kiddos! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-did-your-lo-have-at-15-months#post-1311118 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 21:48:52 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1311118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is such a huge range at that age. I have many friends with kids who had no words at 18 months that were just late talkers.</p> <p>I looked back and Charlie only had 7-8 words at 15 months. By 21 months he had 200 words and just grew exponentially from there. It really happens like overnight!</p> <p>Olive had more than 7-8 words at 15 months but she wasn't using them consistently, and actually had a bit of a regression where she stopped using words she formerly did. She really has had a huge language explosion in the past month (26 months). Way behind Charlie, but not too delayed.</p> <p>Every child is so different when it comes to speech! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-did-your-lo-have-at-15-months#post-1311079 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 21:22:21 +0000 chopsuey 1311079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just looked back and she had 23! most were korean words. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-did-your-lo-have-at-15-months#post-1310996 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 20:08:53 +0000 Andrea 1310996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember the doctor asking and I counted about a dozen.

You can count animal sounds at that age. :) And I don't think they care about the list so much, only insofar as it tells them if there is a concern.
