s/o - speach "delays"
I used quotes because the general consensus is there really isn't a delay at the 20 months stage.
That entire post made me realize I have no idea at what age I started speaking. Does everyone have this information about themselves??? Honestly I'd have no way to related to that post being that I don't have kids, but also because I don't know when I started myself.
hmmm.
ETA because I just can't type!

Re: s/o - speach "delays"
A couple of years ago when I was visiting my parents, I found a questionnaire in my file of stuff they kept for me. It was an "all about me" information sheet that my mom had filled out for me for kindergarten - I think they put it on the wall with your picture or something.
The little fact was "when I started talking"
My mom's answer? "BIRTH"
LOL, apparently I have always been something of a...er, chatterbox.
I emailed my mom because I had absolutely no idea and was curious.
She said "Probably 6 months for dada, 12-15 months for putting words together that we could understand, 2 years old for curse words"
My pedi woudn't even talk to me about a speech delay (with S) until he was 2.
My mom said I was speech delayed because I had two older sisters that talked for me. Then again, I've been told S is probably speech delayed because he's an only child and has no other kids to mimic, so the best therapy is to put him in preschool so he can be around other kids. I just don't think we have the answers to these things and kids develop when the develop and blah blah blah. People are always so quick to say it's certain cirumstances but I think it really has to do with the individual child.
I don't know where you're getting your info/general consensus. However, at age 19 months... (and before) my son does have a speech delay and i take offense in people who don't know what they're talking about (in regards to my son) suggesting his pediatrician and therapists are talking out of their asses.
wtf dude.
