I would assume that you are great mother and her fixation is on you, so she does not need to hold on to something material to feel secure!
That.
Most of my friends had kids with "lovies"...blankets or stuffed animals, etc...and when DS didn't get attached to anything like that, I wondered about it. But realized that ALL of those friends were out of the home for much of the day most of the week. Whereas I was at home, all the time, in his face...I was his lovie. Especially since I nursed exclusively for over 11 months, and he nursed for a nicely extended period of time... So he had no need for one, and also had no WANT for one.
Talking...DS didn't talk much until he was about 2. Either right before or right after, I can't recall. I wasn't one for routine baby checkups so I had no one bugging me about it, and he *communicated* just fine! My brother did that too. We always knew what he wanted, even if he wasn't speaking. And just before the time I might have started to think about possibly wondering if I should raise my eyebrow at it, we started watching Blue's Clues, and whammo, language explosion. He'd learn words each time he watched it...words I don't use. It *seemed* that having a *male* talking "in" the house during the daytime was what did it for him. I talked ALL the time to him, but he ended up responding much more to Steve or Joe than to me, in terms of learning. About a year later I ran into a second cousin who had a son just coming up on 2, and her doc was talking about starting to think about maybe doing something like speech therapy...I mentioned the Blues Clues thing with my guy, she started watching it too with her son, and whammo, language explosion.
So I highly recommend Blues Clues!
As for yearning for WDW...DS had been twice to DLR before he was 2.5, but he didn't really have urges to go. Didn't even talk about it. Then suddenly, a few months after he was 2.5, out of the blue he just started tlaking and talking about our trip! We hadn't talked about the trip since we got home (we got home to FIL being gravely ill and then dying almost 2 months later, actually on DS's 2.5 y.o. day) and I hadn't printed any pictures to look through, so it was really just out of the blue. He suddenly got the language he needed to talk about it, and talk about it he did! It was VERY surprising!
Then after he was 3 DH let him watch POTC 1, and then the obsessions began. He wouldn't go on the ride because he was scared of it for that entire year, but he sure enjoyed BEING Jack Sparrow and watching the movie (gah!)!
So the obsessions will come.
