He is too young to speak words as per your expectations. As long as he responds to his name and makes gurgling or babbling sounds or monosyllables you need not worry

The two most important factors for normal speech are a normal hearing and a normal brain. If both are OK,he WILL speak,normal speech development is 1-3 meaningful words at one year of age,3 word sentences at 2 years and full adult speech at 3 years. BUT,there's a lot of variation to this.
