How many words is your 16 month old saying?

Jessica

My youngest is 16 months old now and he only says 8 words.

1. Dada

2. Mama

3. Cup

4. Stretch

5. No

6. Now

7. Stop

8. It

Does this sound pretty normal for his age, or does it need more work? Our pediatrician was very very strict on my oldest when he was showing signs of being slightly behind with expressive language, and I don't want to get shamed again on the next doctor visit. Thanks for your help!
