@skipra: We have 3 cats (Olivia, Lola, and Penny) and my son thinks they're named Lola, Black Lola, and NO PENNY! He just walks around the house yelling "NO PENNY!" at her whenever he sees her.

It's probably personality too! DD is 13 mo and a chatterbox. I'd say for real words where it's clear and I know she knows what it means, probably 20.
-
DD1 was speaking 3-4 word sentences at 2 yrs old. DD2 is 3 months shy of 2 yrs old and only has about 5 words. She can understand everything we say and she can communicate what she wants in other ways, but she just doesn't like to talk.
-
Also crazy first time mom here guilty of keeping a list - 16 months and up to 60. He has really picked up the pace lately and is learning at least a new word every day which has been really fun for us to witness!
-
LO2 is 26 months old, and I'm patiently waiting for a language explosion. LO1 was delayed a bit, but he caught up fast. I'm waiting for the same with LO2. He has a decent amount of words, but his progress is slow. Plus he isn't putting words together. Eh. Pretty sure his stubborn personality has something to do with this.
-
LO turns 2 next month. I stopped counting when he hit 100.
-
By the time LO was 2 I had lost count. Probably 100 or more? She is very verbal.
My cousin's son is newly 2 and I think he has less than 10 words. There is such a huge variety.

DS is 21 months and I stopped keeping track a while ago. He started speaking in full sentences around 20 months? At his 18 month checkup, he was stringing 2-3 words together.
DD had her language explosion right around 22/23 months and was speaking understandably in full sentences by 2.
I think having big sis around chattering all day made a difference for DS. He skipped a lot of the little quirky toddler speak (ex: DD would say "hold you" for "hold me"; he'll say "Mommy, I wanna hold you"). He's also picked up on a lot of her wonderful phrases like "Leave me aloooone," "Stop it! I don't like/want that," etc haha.
Funny thing though is that he still says "milk" and "water" interchangeably!
-
I kept track for her 15-month appointment and have kept going (though I'll probably stop soon). She just turned 16 months and says about 90 words, but isn't putting them together yet. Maybe because she's bilingual? The two languages have very different grammatical structures.
-
Wow some kids are talking so much so early! My DS has just turned 2 and says ALL the words - but at 18 months he said about 3 words!
-
DD2 is 25 months, so she's just over 2, but she has hundreds...thousands? of words. She talks in complete, complex sentences. She started saying single words at 10 months!
Today she fell down in the living room and said: "Why is that vacuum there? It's okay, it was just an accident."
-
@runnerd: @regberadaisy: I always think this type of question is really interesting because perspective matters so much. Like, I say my kid has too many to count, but I got lazy and stopped counting at like, 40 words. But for someone else, too many to count could be much higher or lower.
I also count animal sounds as words (his doctor told me I should) and I count words that I understand but are still mispronunciations (ie, he says "oh-wee" for "orange" but I def count it).
By any count, he had three words at 16 months
Anyway, no real point to this; I just think these things are really interesting!
-
@gilmoregirl: haha yes, I agree. I imagine the hundreds plus are counting sounds, Word, noises and those only mom understands.
Which I know, for all purposes from The peds pov is what they want you to do. -
It's funny, she said like 3 words at 12 months and then by 18 months probably knew 50 and now at 22 months I can't ever get her to stop talking. It's basically like talking to an adult. She can say what she wants and calls people by name. But don't try and teach her colors!!
-
LO is 15 months, and only uses "uh oh" correctly. She says Dada, and wawa but not sure she knows what they mean.
Anyway, no real point to this; I just think these things are really interesting!
