Mom of a severely speech delayed toddler here.

It's never a bad idea to bring up concerns you have with your child's doctor. If you're concerned, schedule an appointment and ask for input from the medical types.

In addition, if you're in the US there's a national program called Early Intervention whose sole mission is to locate children under age 3 who are developmentally delayed, evaluate them, and provide therapy or other needed services so they're as caught-up as possible before starting school. Evaluations are free of charge and most services are also at no cost. You don't need a doctor's referral. Google (your state) Early Intervention for contact info.
(Whoops, just saw you're in Ireland so the above doesn't apply, but I'm going to leave it there in case it can help anyone else!)

That all said,
2 words (mama & dada) at 14 months is in the range of normal. The fact that he understands so much is also fantastic and points to him being developmentally appropriate. I don't recommend you freak out. :)

Narrating everything is perfect.
Definitely keep answering him when he talks. One thing my kid's speech therapist really encourages us to do is to have conversations with him even if it's all in babble. Baring his teeth and going "nar nar nar nar nar" means something - I have no idea what, but something - to my son these days so when he says that to me I say it right back and we have a pretty funny conversation about nar nar nar nar nar. It reinforces the back & forth of a regular conversation and gives the child confidence that they're participating the right way.
We use a lot of picture books like these with my 2yo both in therapy & at home. We either say the word while pointing to a picture or ask him "where's the ball?" and wait for him to point it out.
Really, just keep talking to him, and talking to other people while he's around!

Like I said. A 1 year old won't remember. Won't really know what's going on. It will be more for you than anything. I little $5 item is fine.

A quick check on amazon has a bunch of stuff. I found a book that would be great. Only $3 something. And it will help your child immensely to read to her/him daily.

Maybe something like this or this. They're not strictly Science, per se, but they can open up a conversation that leans that way.

I loved looking at picture books and asking my son to point at different things, colors, etc. It gives good insight into what they understand without them needing to talk. The My First books (like this: First 100 Words) were great for this - labeled pictures with no story.

I absolutely loved doing sign language with my son. I highly recommend the Baby Signing Time videos - I think you can find them on YouTube. They also have a preschool series called Signing Time. Songs are cute and help kids with vocabulary and early reading, in addition to learning sign language.

One of my favorite memories was when my son, about 1yo at the time, heard a garbage truck early on the morning. He was obsessed with garbage trucks, and he sat up and started excitedly signing truck in bed. I thought it was so cool that at such an early age, he could 1) identify what he heard, 2) communicate what it was to me, and 3) express how excited he was.

Don't forget about books for the toddler years too! They're grabby and will rip paper because they don't know how to manipulate it yet, so you want board books that can stand up to them. Because my daughter, at least, can't stand when we're reading her something that she can't flip through, and teaching gentle touch is a slow process.

Aside from all the kid's books rendered into board book form, I love books that are full of labelled pictures of things, like this. I point at words to teach her them and I can see her vocab expanding as she points at pictures when I call them out to her.

A book for my son! :)

First things first. The child will be undergoing a huge transition and ya'll ought to have some therapy/counseling for her all set up and ready to go when she comes into your home. It will help all of you get started on a good note.

Because she has been told things that are not true about her dad, she will be very confused and will likely act out as she settles in.

I have seen a lot of great advice on here for adoptive/foster parents and you guys would benefit from reading some material geared towards that parenting group as well. One thing I have heard a lot of for adoptive parents of older children (I know you're not adopting, I just think the principle applies here) is to meet your child's every need.

No, really. Meet her every. Need. If you have family over visiting and she asks for a glass of water, you or your SO should be the ones getting up and doing it, even if family offers. If she needs help on the potty, falls down and hurts herself, needs her hair brushed, whatever it is. During the transition process it is critical for her to bond positively with you guys and for her to learn that you guys are a source of trust and security.

As for getting her up to speed on things like colors and numbers, fortunately there's plenty of books out there to help! My son LOVES these:

Sorry I don't know how to make shorter links on Reddit. They might be too young for your "Stepdaughter", but my son learned all of his colors shapes and numbers by reading these books. he is 2 1/2.

He also has shape toys. I like "melissa and doug" toys. This one is my son's favorite:

http://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Wooden-Shape-Sorting/dp/B000GKATU0

Because of this clock puzzle, my son knows what a fucking rhombus and octagon is.

We don't sit him down and drill him. We invite him to play with these toys and materials and simply talk about them as we go along. Children are sponges, and they learn all on their own. They simply need the invitation, and a patient adult willing to open up this world to them.

edit

on that note, we take what we learn in the books and reinforce it in every day life.

"Wow, is that your YELLOW ball?"

"Look honey, do you see that silly cartoon cat? He is PINK! That's so funny, isn't it! Why is that silly kitty cat PINK? Cats aren't pink, are they?"

"Okay when the light is red, that means daddy has to stop! Let's wait for the light to turn green! Keep watching, tell me when it turns GREEN! Green means we can GO!"

Etc etc. Most of this stuff will come naturally to you as you get into the groove. You find all kinds of opportunities to reinforce concepts as you go about your day.

[Under $4] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0312510780/ref=aw_ls__6?colid=2AM7TAQQA7P2I&coliid=I35U7SHGRVNUKV)

[Under $3] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0307021343/ref=aw_ls__5?colid=2AM7TAQQA7P2I&coliid=I1XA4R3BFFGRLS)

I don't have anything under $2 except for digital, which I CANNOT SEE THE PRICE OF ON MOBILE because Amazon hates me.

These are both books for my niece. I want her to be a reader like me. So far, she LOVES books.

Thanks for the contest!!

Don't cut yourself short, man. Maybe try easier things, like this. Or maybe this.
