She definitely understands me. Tonight, I even gave her a sentence with two commands, "turn off your music and give me your book". She did both. And when I say night-night, she closes her eyes and pretends to sleep. But NO words. Trying not to worry. [ Reply | More

It is absolutely free to get an evaluation. If there is something going on you will know and can get help. If not, you will then have your mind set at ease. [ Reply | More

13 months is too early to worry, especially if her receptive language is so strong. DS didn't have a single word (not even uh oh) until 15 months, and he's fine. I think around 18 months is when you start considering evaluation, but with this strong receptive language, just chill and enjoy. [ Reply | More

our ped said one word besides mama/dada by 18 mos is normal, so I don't think you need to worry at all. It's way more important that they can understand you than that they have a ton of words. [ Reply | More
