I have a 2 1/2 year old boy. He can say full sentences, knows all his colors, but sometimes confuses gray, and black. He can count to 10. He can tell people what he wants, unless heās overly tired. It wasnāt until he got tubes put in his ears right after his 2nd birthday that he really started talking. He also started attending daycare about 4 months ago which has really helped bring him out of his shell. His big interest right now is dinosaurs, paw patrol, and loves to watch blippi. Blippi has taught him alot!
My daughter turned 2 in August, she is speaking in sentences. She is okay with her counting ( can count to 15 with help , 10 minimal help and 7 or 8 with no help ) shes okay with her colors she needs to work on that a bit and mostly potty trained. ( nap and bedtime are usually the only time she struggles )
My youngest will be 2 years old on the 3rd. He talks a bit, but he canāt really pronounce too much. Like his brotherās names are āOnā and āTinā But actually Austin and Tyson. So he really tries.
He is super into PJ masks right now. And his little people sets we got him for Christmas. He also LOVES Spiderman, which he calls āmanā and does the action of spiderman swinging and shooting webs.
He dances, sings, smacks, plays, tries to count with me. He jumps around, eats on his own mostly. He can drink from a regular cup, but we try to keep him on sippy cups. He eats with a fork but has trouble with a spoon. But he LOVES finger food.
He knows what he likes and doesnāt like. He tries to scare people because he thinks itās hilarious. He loves his family a ton. We always get snuggles and hugs and kisses. He knows to be gentle with the dogs and cats.
29 months old. He loves baby shark. I donāt think there is anything he canāt do. He talks a lot. He learns 3-4 new words a day. He can count. He knows some sign language and Spanish as well.
2.5 yo daughter can count to 20, sing her alphabet, knows shapes abs colors, quotes all sorts of movies, working on potty training still, brushes teeth independently, plays with favorites like magnatiles, babies, barbies, tic tac toe, memory and Trouble are her fav games. She can talk very quickly and definitively - she uses words I didnāt know she knew (āMom, youāre being irrationalā). Goes to sleep easily and still naps 2 hours a day.
2yrs 5.5mo. He talks in 3-5 word sentences. Very high energy. Loves to understand how things work. Loves Daniel Tigerās Neighborhood, cars of any kind, cooking (play kitchen and helping me cook), and helping me with household chores (loading washer/dryer, folding and putting away laundry, wiping and setting the table, unloading the dishwasher, cleaning windows/surfaces, etc. LOVES reading.
My daughter turned 2 last week on December 28. She loves trains, blocks, and her rocking horse and climbing toys, truck toys, and dolls. She got some balance toys for Christmas that sheās been playing with a lot, she also loves coloring and is starting to show some control with the crayons. She knows the names of the different colors and she knows her shapes. She is starting to learn some of the words of different songs and will finish the line once one of us starts it.
She likes to watch the Wiggles and sings and dances along with music, and playing with instruments/instrument toys. Weāve also been watching Disney movies with her and she can ask for specific ones by saying the characterās names (Lilo, Nemo, Moana, etc). She talks constantly and is making 3-5 word sentences. She can tell us when she is hungry, scared, has to go/has gone potty or when her teeth hurt. She points out things she thinks are funny or silly.
2 years 5 monthsā¦ loves anything that moves! If it has a motor he wants a ride! He knows his colors shapes can count to 20ā¦ potty trained knows his alphabetā¦ music is a must he likes to draw color (on everything ) anything water related will keep him occupied! Knows all his body parts and can say full sentencesā¦ tantrums suck!! He loves food and cooking! Cleans up his own messes and keeps his toys up for the most part 
(now if my 10 yr old would follow suit ) thereās not much he canāt do! Drinks out of a regular cupā¦ even puts his clothes in the washer!
My son is 23 months old. Heās very vocal, knows lots of words. He has conversations with us nowā¦ responds accordingly questions. He still uses some sign language when he speaks, particularly if he asks for more. Heās very polite, typicallyā¦ everything is please and thank you. Heās ridiculously smart. Heās also incredibly hyper, gets into and onto everythingā¦ heās really into figuring out how to disassemble and reassemble everything. Lol. Heās very independent and gets frustrated when I try to do things for him unless he asks for help. Heās obsessed with music. He loves singing and dancing. He loves to immitateā¦ especially his dad and big sister. Heās very silly. Heās also very dramatic.
But when he throws a temper tantrum, boy howdy watch out.

She says ok mommy allison can do that.l, be back all done I throw it away. Orr she says. No mom allison not throw away trash your mean and I go outsideā¦ que hands on hips and foot taps from a 2 year old
When my daughter was 2 she was talking non-stop, she knew about 80-100 words, she knew her colors at 2yrs 1month. She loved her rocking horse, 4wheeler, trampoline, coloring, hot wheels, her Minnie Mouse play kitchen. Sheās 3 now.
2 years 4 months and she is sassy. She says no a lot. But she probably only says about 20 words and not sentences. She wasnāt breathing when she was born so shes been in therapy since 6 months old. Completely healthy besides some delays so she doesnt talk a whole lot. She does babble and she loves playing dinosaurs with her brother or playing with baby dolls.and horses in her room

My daughter turned 2 in August. She can count to 12, recite her abcās, knows all her colors, sings nursery rhymes, and is learning to sign her alphabet. She can sign about half the alphabet but can identify almost every letter signed. She can identify all of her letters and numbers and has started writing them herself. She loves cocomelon, little baby but, paw patrol, elmo, and spongebob.
Sing the alphabet, identify some colors and shapes, talks 3-4-word sentences, starts drawing random objects, curious about some household chores, put back toys after playing as she knows it will hurt her feet if she steps on them.

24 mo. Full vocabulary likes small dolls and puzzles
Son is 2. Doesnt talk much says maybe about 15 words. Has just started saying some of his abcs.
26 months. Talks a lot, has good vocab, uses proper context, but heās still hard for others to understand sometimes. He runs, jumps, climbs, plays with his siblings,plays independently. He feeds himself using silverware. BUT - He also has five older siblings he is trying to catch up to and we all talk to him constantly.
Oliver- 2.5
Potty trained (besides poop which he refused to use the potty for)
Pretty wide vocabulary. Songs songs. Dances. Loves trucks. Tantrums are a thing of the past finally. Overcame his rage issues these past few months and has gotten way better at expressing his feelings.
Knows his a b c. Can count to 14. Still in the āwhiningā stage where instead of just asking, he whines for thingsā¦trying to get out of that. Sleeps like a champ at night. No naps during the day. Still on a sippy cup tho.
My kid is 2.5
Talks very well sentences and clearly
Does lots of imagination play.
Singing, running and climbing everything
Potty trained fully with little bit of accidents while heās napping
Knows abc, shapes, colors and counts to 20
Currently showing him more spanish words
Knows body parts and animals too
Knows his age, identifies his name, and what country heās from.
Does dots, sticks and just learned to draw circles on chalk board
Currently learning to be more gentle and is going through stage saying hes scared at times.
plays independently and with others fine but he tends to be a bit rough so i have to keep my eye
Naps about 1-2 hrs a day but will wake 1-2 times at night if he doesnāt feel his mommy around. He sleeps around 9-12 hr every 24 hrs
Has his day or 2 that he hardly eats but then heāll eat whole meals and tell me heās hungry 15 min after finishing a big meal. Has his bottle of milk 1-3 times a day of 7oz
Please donāt compare you child to others of the same age. They are individuals as we are. Take talking fir example, my oldest said nary a word until he was about 3, then one day he looked up at me while playing in his room and said āClose the door pleaseā He is now retired and still very quiet. On the other hand I had a daughter that I swear to goodness came out of the womb talking! Same with walking, potty training or any other milestone. If you are truly concerned, speak with your sonās doctor. Be patient.

Son is 2.5
He has a very broad vocabulary and can speak full sentences. He still has his way of saying some things incorrectly but close to right. He knows his ABCās, colors, shapes, can count to 20, and knows just about every nursery rhyme. Not 100% on potty training but very close. He definitely has his own personality. Obsessed with the color orange and construction vehicles. He sleeps in his own bed for nap and bedtime. Never had a āloveyā or pacifier.
Loves to help us cook and clean
Loves his friends at school
Doesnāt like milk but neither do I
I have a big boy too, he is over 38ā tall and right at 40 lbs
LOVES to run, everywhere!
His show and video interests are changing. He used to be obsessed with blippi and now we are into paw patrol.
My weirdo 26mo girl is doing kindergarten work, can read at 1st grade level, but is still in bottles, diapers and not independently eating. Idk what the point of this is 
I learned a long time ago to not ever compare my child to another. We are all uniquely and individually created.

Dont ever compair your child to another. Each and every single baby is different and beautiful in their own way. Some are faster then others and some are slower. One of my kids bairly crawled before they were running. 
your baby is perfect and growing as he/she should.

My son turned 3 in November but only has 3 words others can understand. He was potty trained at about 30 months (still has occasional nighttime accidents), feeds himself very well and gets dressed except some shirts. He just started Pre K to help his speech and we are going to specialists at the end of Jan to discuss Autism and get a hearing test.
If youāre concerned about your childās development talk to your health centre. All children do develop at their own time but having things in place for early intervention doesnāt hurt.
My child turned two in October. He has a lot of medical conditions. He just started crawling and pulling him self to stand. Can only say momma and dada. He knows a couple of his signs we are teaching him. Every child is different. Everyone hits milestones at different times.

All kids grow and learn at different rates. My 21 month old talks in sentences, knows all of his colors, is almost fully potty trained, knows how to do things independently like picking up his toys, throwing away trash, can get his own snacks and juices (I have them at his height level) is in the process of learning his ABCās, and knows all of his body parts.

I agree with the upper comment! If you have legitimate concerns about delay please talk to a pediatrician or other specialist! They will be able to help you know where your child should be and what you need to work on. Donāt compare kids to others because every kid develops differently! Learning the same lessons/going to school at the same time as every kid your age was an idea thought up in the industrial period and is long overdue for a change!
I work at a childcare facility in a room with 1.5 to 2.5 year olds and most start talking around 1.5-2 and by 2.5 speak in full sentences, can follow directions and listen when they want to. They are interested in books, bubbles, music, puzzles, blocks and start to play with each other close to 2.5 before that itās more of parallel play.

All children are different & developed at different ages. Same for the likes & dislikes. The thing they are into will be just as varied as they are because they are all individual. My LB is 2year 9 months & is super advanced in certain areas & lags a little behind in other but mostly follows the curve of all the others his age. Heās in to dinosaurs & animals, especially sea creatures. Heās very out going & loves the out doors. My daughter is 18 months, sheās mostly average with her development. She isnāt quite as bright as my eldest but sheās far advanced in speech compared to where he was at that age. She hates the outdoors & is a total whinge monster lol. My children are like night & day in their differences & both have been raised the same, yet are so totally different that itās shocking.

My son just turned 2 dec.10th
He can talk in full sentences, count to 10, picks up toys and puts them away. Knows all his colors and can go from the letter A to the leter M on the alphabet. He can get his own snacks and juice from the fridge. Sleeps along in his room all night long. He brushes his own teeth and is partially potty trained.and he knows how to unlock and lock the doors at home. He can also use the phone by touching pics on the screen he can call who he wants to talk to and he actually has a conversation with the person.
Every kid is different donāt base your kid on others. Itās not fair to them, if you are worried set up an appointment with you peidatrician.

My youngest is 28 months old. Hes talking up a storm and has been since he was a little older than 1. He can say everything we say and he can communicate perfectly fine and talk in sentences. He knows his ABCās and can count to 10. Knows some of his colors and can clean up after his self ( when he wants to be good lol ). My middle son which is now 5 was the same way but my oldest son which is now 11 had to have speech therapy because at 2 he wouldnt talk. All kids are different but if you think something is going on then its best to talk to the doctor about it but please dont compare your child to another because everyone learns at a different pace and if you do then it could cause issues between you and your child later on in life and could cause all kinds of emotional damage and more to your child
Mine can count she knows colours she is super smart. You tel her something once and she remembers it. She loves playing outside, sheās 2 on Monday and she talks a lot she can speak sentences
Donāt stress too much about comparing. Iāve seen twins who were vastly different. I worry about my 2yo too but remember they can learn so much even in a day. As long as most milestones are met and doctors arenāt worried then u shouldnāt be either.
My son is 29 months. Hes starting to use his imagination a lot. He can do a lot himself now ie dressing. Loves to help and clean. Sometimes is picky and has an attitude. Loves to give hugs. Is amazing with tools and puzzles and art. Not a great talker but is getting there! Knows how to use the potty but wonāt yet.
All kids are different. My son is 3, he didnāt start walking until closer to two, he didnāt get teeth until closer to two, he still isnāt fully talking yet and he isnāt potty trained yet.
I have 3 daughters. Each one was and is different at that age. My oldest was different than my 4 yr old now and my 4 yr old was different than her 2 yr old sister when they were that age. Its pretty amazing how different all children are.
My 23 month old only says a few words but she will do sign language with me and listens to directions, plays with dolls and does lots of things.
My son didnāt talk much until my husband left for a job out of state and then he started talking a lot around 2.5 in full sentences saying colors, counting you name it.
All kids learn at there own pace so itās just one of those things.
Only thing my daughter has been slow on is her speech.

My 2 year old son is FEISTY! LOL. That said, he was born premature, and overcame insane odds. He is 2 years, 9 months old and speaks in sentences ( sometimes still a toss up of what he is saying but usually clear as a bell ), he likes to play in his kitchen and cook food, he can count to 5 unassisted ( English and French), knows most of his colors, working on his alphabet, knows a lot of animals at first sight, is almost potty trained, but gets distracted while playing easily so we still use pull ups. Starting to become more independent. Loves oranges, will flip like a gymnast doing a dismount if you peel it for himš¤£. He is high energy, and sassy.
My daughter will be 4 on the 5th
My son is 2 years 6 months. He only says Dada. He babbles and screams as his former of communication. He loves cocomelon and Trolls. He is a happy kid heās very smart he is also very observant, he just doesnāt speak. He was recently given a diagnosis of autism and has been in therapy for about 2 months.

First let me start off by saying im a pre school teacher and i teach older ones/ younger 2s they are all on their own pace i have younger ones that are ahead of my own daughter. Mine turned 2 Sept 3rd. She can count to six she knows some basic animals dog cat bear duck horse the sounds they make and a few more . She can color. She knows some pre school songs and the hand movements and trying to put scentances together it dont always make since but we know what she wants or what she is trying to say. I stayed home with her for 2 months so she was behind some but she has been in school for about 7 months now and she has picked up quick on things. Just work with them it takes time and patients lord the patients i have 9 of them every day and you have to figure out how they learn every child is different
It also depends alot on if they have older siblings and how much time you take teaching them things. My oldest walked late, got her teeth late and it was a fight to get her to do anything until she started head start. Then like over night she knew alot. Her little sister did everything early and was ahead of kids her same age when she started school. Every child is different.
I say ācompareā away! Now Iām going to get bashed for this because people wonāt read my full comment. As a first time mom I had NO CLUE what to expect so I asked lots of questions. Not to see if my kid was up to speed but just so I knew what to expect and what to work on. My son is pretty behind on a lot of stuff. Crawled at 9 months, walked just before 1 year, no teeth until 13 months, at 27 months now and finally understanding colors and shapes. Did I compareā¦sort of, but only to see what I should work with him on at different stages. Sort of like I made a checklist and once something was working we moved on to a new skill. I donāt care if he is working on skills much later than others but at least I have an idea of what to do.

My older 2 at his age were not talking at all. They did speech therapy at 2.5 and 3.5 (3yr old was a preemie).
Every child is different
My daughter is almost 2 and she Knows her whole entire outer anatomy every single color can count to 20 can spell BLIPPI Can sing the whole song of you are my sunshine knows a lot of her shapes even rhombus octagon and parallelogram she loves going on the potty but isnāt fully potty trained she knows what all the animals are and what sounds they make she can Talk in complete sentences knows exactly what she wants and will tell you how she feels and we are currently learning our planets and so much more sheās very advance I blame it on the Japanese genes though lol she started walking at 9.5 months and talking at 10 months

heās really into monster trucks and paw patrol
My son will be 2 next month and heās pretty far behind tbh. He doesnāt walk yet or talk. Doesnāt really listen to directions. Doesnāt point/wave/blow kisses. His favorite things to do are watching Peppa pig and stacking rings. Heās currently in oral therapy because he has a gtube & weāre trying to get off it, he starts physical therapy later this month, and has an autism evaluation next month. Itās incredibly hard to not compare him to other kids but I also have to remember that most kids I compare him to havenāt been through a quarter of what he has. Theyāre all different.
23 months in a few days and my daughter has the speech of a 3-4 year oldā¦ she started talking at 8 months and just hasnāt stopped. We went from learning new words daily to now full blown conversations over the last few months. She still says some jibberish or her conversations are unclear as if her brain is working quicker than her mouth but she has always, always, always spoken in context. She knows her colours, body parts and can count up to and down from 3 (5 when she wants but 3 normally)
Her interests are dancing, horse riding, loves all animals, obsessed with Peppa Pig.
Mine is 22 months and he babbles a lot and has probably 150 words he can say but chooses not to most of the time he points and whines lol he is very rough and tumble wants to climb his cousins and the walls for that matter but he also loves to help he picks up toys and puts them in the box if he finds garbage he throws it in the trash can he loves music and dancing and is very intrigued by how things work

My 2 year old is fully potty trained, helps me with cooking, dishes, cleaning. Helps keep his younger sister out of bad situations, speaks full sentences(some words are jumbled but he works to say them right) too be honest he can do anything my 6 year old step son can. He learns from watching mostly and the things he doesnāt quite understand I will show him exactly how while instructing him. He is now working on writing letters and numbers. I am a stay home mom and very hands on with my children. He also loves watching movies and empathizing with characters. He prefers non cartoon movies and loves all genres.
22mo. Ive heard him actually say like 15-20 words beforeā¦but he mostly doesnāt talk still other than babbling and yelling and grunting. Lol Kid is obsessed with cars and forks. Feeds himself completely. Very independent. Loves playing with his older sister. Tumbles and rolls all over the house all day long (with a hot wheel in one hand and a fork in the other) sleeps like a champ. Loves watching music videos. Officially 1 week binkie free. Santa brought him a potty chair but we havenāt really started yet. He likes stacking blocks and putting things in lines.
Donāt compare your child to others they all develop at different times. Youāll end up stressing yourself out and then projecting that onto your child.
Please dont compare your child to other children. All children develop & grow differently. Especially girls vs boys. If there is something youāre concerned about bring it up to your pediatrician at the next check up.
I have four kids. All of them are different. My 3rd born girl at age 2years she was of the nappies.
