for some reason my son does not like to say peoples name, even if he wants to listen to a music, he will sing one sentence instead of name of singer.
when my husbend is not home, he will costantly cry and say momy momy.
he will say lets go daddy eat. but when he is not at work and my son for some reason is aware of that would call him momy.........
sounds funny
I thought it was ASD ... but the two younger are NT! So now I think it is just that they are adopted?
Adam didn't even use the word Mommy in a functional sense until much later. I honestly think he over three. He could say ANY word before then...He was echolalic...but it wasn't functional. Now he says Mommy when addressing me anytime he talks to me.
My niece that had a language impairment called everyone mommy until her language got better.

Sarah's first mama went to our therapist instead of me:(
...but she caught on soon after..we made picture books of everybody and told her the names of everyone constantly while pointing to them.. label all day long while you are with him..once their receptive language kicks in..then the verbal language will come:) Baby bumble bee videos and flashcards are wonderful for kick starting language..check out your library for them or find them online..they are magic:)
Good luck!
