Shruti 1 year and 6 months - full of actions

What does a one and a half year kid does? Lot of sites actually gives good information on that. Most of the activities matches except for speaking. People say that children at this age speak at least 10 to 20 words. But Shruti is slow.. learnt only 2 - Ma (for everyone) and Idhu? (This? - asks us to identify on all she sees).
She can tell everything by actions. When she
sees a tooth brush - finger on her teeth and brushing movements
sees a comb - on her head
sees a hair dryer  - sound (sssss) with hand movements on her head
bindhi, hair oil, soap, food - everything in action
"No" - Strong head movements especially for food!
She imitates everything we do. Recently, paati (Grandmother) got fracture in her ankles, operated and now on rest. One day, she saw her limping on her legs to move and from  then on, imitating her.
Sounds of animals :
elephant - aaaaah
crow -kkkccaaaaa
horse - toku toku
gotat - aaaaaah
Actually, good to see their learning phase. Kids understand everything we speak to them at this age.
