Should I be worried about language?

Amanda

I just read an article from what to expect that said most kids don’t actually talk until they’re 2. My son says only about 5 words right now and I’m kind of worried. Is this normal? When I went to the doctors appointment for him at 18 months they gave me a questionnaire asking if he was saying 10-15 words. We try and teach him words but he just doesn’t say them. We read to him every night and every time he brings us a book which is countless times a day. What else can I do?
