My youngest son was 2 1/2 years before he started really talking. He said very few words until then. He did a lot of pointing and grunting. We tried to encourage him to say the words that he wanted like "drink" or "eat" anything but grunting. We would just always tell him the word for whatever when we gave him things. We tried to read to him a lot also. He does have a speech problem and is 6 now and still goes to speech at his school. I wouldn't be too concerned but would keep a close eye on it.
good luck
