My 18.month has a vocab of 10 words, otherwise still babbles but points & takes instruction like sit down, is that normal? how can i encourage talking

Yes: Just let it happen. Vocabulary increases as they pair up what they see with how the people in their environment use words. If you are doing something with them you can describe the setting and what you are using rather than be mute during the process.
