Talking...perhaps.

Pandril19

So I've posted several times about E not talking yet and my being slightly worried.

Well, I'm pleased to say that in the last week or so, I've learned that Elissa says "thank you" fairly consistantly.   Well, more like "daku", but close enough.

I think she might also have "book", but I can't quite decide is it's consistant or just random.

 

I'm less pleased to note that I'm probably either a very harsh judge of my kid or totally unobservant or both.   The development milestone checklist sent home by daycare says that Elissa "speaks several words independently"  back on 9/23/13.    Great.   Care to share what they are?

 

I have to admit, I still really want to hear a mama of some sort.

We JUST got mama. It will come

Thanks.   I'm starting to feel like I should just send my dc teacher with E to her 18M appointment.  I clearly don't know anything about my own child.  :-(

I know how you feel.  LO only has a handful of words and she does not use any phrases yet. She  says Dada but uses it to refer to both of us.  I keep hoping that she will say Mama soon.

@Bliz1712 -  Yeah, she does both.   I'm really not particularly worried anymore once I realized she understood me.   And her babbling has gotten even more varied in tone and inflection lately, so I figure that's good.   Just more anxious now?

And feeling bad for being unobservant.  But trying not to be too hard on myself.   Part of life, right?

@JFresh Dagnys first word was "that". She started saying it around 12 months and that was her only word for a while. She just started saying mama and dada a few weeks ago. Weirdo.
