While other toddlers can say more than 50 words, form sentences and sing. Celeste is still babbling away and very limited in her vocab. She points more and only says a few words to let us know what she wants. Till now, we have to guess what she wants. I have been emphasizing to her to speak, so that we can understand what she wants and can give it to her. It just seems difficult for her to pick up the appropriate words like water, thank you.
We even scheduled a visit to KK hospital for her speech assessment but have since cancelled as Celeste has started talking more. Now these are what she has been saying: But she refuses to repeat the words when asked to.
