Keep in mind there are marked differences among toddlers in their word comprehension. Toddlers often understand more words than they can speak. Some language development milestones to expect are the use of self-related words and speaking in short sentences. Once your little one is steady on her feet, you'll be surprised at how much she has to say. You may want to keep a notebook handy. These early thoughts are priceless.
Toddler language development milestones include:
Distinguishing words
Toddler communication: understanding others' words and phrases
Toddler speech development: forming words
Learning that some things that look alike have different names, like a “cup” and a “juice glass”
Following simple instructions
Using gestures along with a word or two to communicate
