Am I irrational for being upset when people ignore when my toddler is trying to talk to them?

Today at school my 3yo daughter was excited to see one of her teachers was back and walked up to her and said hi to her. Granted she was talking to another teacher but she completely ignored her presence as well. It hurt me because I know she gets sad when it happens

Baby screeching

Does anyone else’s child just screech at the top of their lungs? 🤣 she’s a happy girl and it’s not really an upset screech, more of an “I can make this noise so I’m going to keep practising it’ and sometimes out of excitement. Though I have noticed she’ll also do it when she’s fed up of being strapped in somewhere…

Speech

My nearly 14 month old daughter only says ‘dada’ and the occasional ‘hi’. She used to say ‘mama’ and ‘nana’ every now and then but has stopped for months. Other than these and babbling, she doesn’t say any other words and doesn’t imitate us at all. Should I be concerned?
