This is normal their motorskill development sometimes outpaces speech or vice versa. Just keep engaging them in convo and push them to use words. Example: when they want an object make them vocalize for it this teaches them to use their words to get what they want

But from what you're saying your boys are normal everybody just learned that a different pace and those milestones are really to make sure that there's not something super cognitively wrong and delayed speech is definitely not a cognitive problem unless it's really late like when they're five or six years old

Thanks for the comment.

Yes, they are normal in every sense except for this delayed speech issue. Personally I am not too much worried about it. I just wanted to know HN users' experience/thoughts/suggestions. I have seen that on HN, guys sometimes post incredible and really useful insights/links.

Obviously if I feel like there is something seriously wrong, I would visit a doc.
