"...Your 16-month-old may be able to say as many as seven words — or even more — clearly. But she will still rely mostly on nonverbal communication, pointing and gesturing to tell you what she wants or what she wants you to see.
Your toddler understands much more than she can speak. (The challenge for toddlers is not understanding speech, but coordinating their lips and tongue and breath well enough to make themselves understandable.)..."

Highlight on Muhammad Muaz~~
He does well in terms of pronouncing the simple words like ma-ma, a-bah and ngah (mak ngah). When it comes to atuk, wan and acu, he cant at the moment. Maybe the vocal u is harder to pronounce than a ;) And currently he loves to say iom. I am a bit confused what does iom means? Jom ke cium..haha.
He communicates with his hands very well by pointing to stuff he wants and leading us to things, for instance, showing us his milk, water, biscuits and bread. And also showing us his eyes, nose, mouth and teeth (buat2 gosok gigi)..hehe. When we are in the car, he may also pointing us to vehicles he sees such as cars, buses and lorries and says hee or huu.
He follows instructions as well like wash your hands, take off your shoes and take your bottles.
Irrespective of what he is doing at one time, when i say TIGER he then automatically says AUMMM without looking at me...heheh
Overall, i agree with the statement above. Muhammad Muaz is still rely mostly on nonverbal communication ;) He may understands what we are saying and still in the process of learning to speak. Don't worry mama and abah will help you darling. Can't wait to hear thousands of questions from you ;)
Last but not least semoga anak mama sentiasa sihat, ceria dan dilindungi oleh-Nya selalu. Amin~~
