I would agree witht he late bloomer Idea it is not uncommon. My son (though he had medical problems till about a year) barely talked and refused to walk until about a week after his second birthday. He exploded into walkign and started talking saying little as your son does. You cant tell he was ever that way now he talks all the time. I dont mean to joke about a situation that worries you but you may want to enjoy the quiet while you have it. I hope it all turns out ok keep us posted.
Haha, Ivan's greatuncle would only say GOONT until he was about 5, and he's talking okay. He's starting to get better, I guess, lol. Very slowly but surely.
I will definitely keep you all posted. We're making him a doctor's appointment soon for the eating part.
