JH had his 18 months check up with the maternal child health nurse. Nurse was concerned about his speech. She was expecting him to be able to say at least 6 words. But he can only say 3 words (mama, dada, nana). Nurse wanted to see him again in 2 months time, hoping that there are some improvement, otherwise, she'll send him for a hearing test. I personally don't think he's got any hearing problems because he responded okay when I asked him to do something. I also am not too stressed about his speech. I reckon he's just slow in speech, just like his jie and his dad.
MCH nurse also asked if he could recognise animals. Nope! Everytime I tried to read book with him, he would just ignore me, refusing to look at the book.
MCH nurse asked if he can do animal sounds (eg. sheep - baa baa, dog - woof woof, etc). Nope! The only things come out from his mouth were those 3 words. nothing else! The rest is just baby talk.
He also had his 18 months old immunisation (ie. chicken pox). Cried for a short while but was okay afterwards.
