so im reading about speech delays

Im reading about speech delays since obviously kyle has one...but im amazed at what they are saying a 16 month olds vocab should be

Boys: They often develop speech later than girls, though there's usually only about a one- to two-month lag. At 16 months, boys use an average of 30 words, while girls tend to use around 50.

Here is where kyle is

At 2 1/2 years: He's still speaking in single syllables, drops final consonants, or doesn't have a vocabulary of 50 words.

at the same time..

When you're tired of being asked when your child is going to talk, remember that these successful people didn't begin talking until they were at least 2 -- and, in some cases, 4!
