Talking babies

CarrieB.

What do your babies like saying? Mine just walks all over the house saying "done! Done! Done!" Which is cute and funny.

She also just started saying my two sisters' names over thanksgiving which was awesome!

Hi and Bye are his favorites but with major southern accent which is funny in NJ. He also says mom, dada, ut oh, that.

He always says "hiiiiiii dada"

Kim22

Oh and how can I forget. He says go go go while waving his arms in the air. My 4 year old has an Elsa obsession. He copies her.

Ya know, I don't get a lot of mama any more.

Bew- Bear
Bawh- Ball
Bwah- Bottle
Buh- Bye
Dah- Dog
Dad
Hi

He also waves at everyone and blows kisses goodbye.

He's working on our dogs' names too, but I've only heard him say each one once.

Then lots of babbling, which I love.

@Kfran84 We had a period where he practically quit saying mama for a few weeks.

Dada
Hi
Up
Open
Bye
Yeah
Uh-oh
Mang (one of Sinny's nicknames)

Things he has mimicked but I'm certain doesn't know the meaning: Thank you, teeth, popcorn

Everything over here is MA! And other ramblings in between. He does give a mean kiss if anyone is interested... Open mouth only of course.

We've been getting:

Bye bye (without the -Ye so it's more Buh-sounding)

Mi-mi for mommy but he only says it to my senior picture on the wall

Uh oh when he knocks something over and wants it to be picked up

Tha-tha for grandpa

Mum-mum for milk... But I can't seem to get a "mommy"

Thank you when he's repeating after you

Jo-Jo-Jo and do-do-do all day every day

G has lots of sounds that he tries to use to say things, but nothing understandable except: mama, dada, pooh (pooh bear), baba (bottle), and up. I feel like when I talk to him he will sometimes understand the tone of what I'm saying, and maybe some key words like yes, no, on, off.

He will sign for eat and milk! That makes me very happy because I feel like we really communicate when he uses those signs. Those are really the only two things I know for sure what he wants and I can respond to him.

He also growls at my brother's new puppy. The puppy doesn't even bark, so this is hilarious to witness.

Mama and daddy are the big ones. Plus cat, dog, duck, truck, done, milk and more- every food is always MORE!!.

If you ask him "what does the dog say?" he answers in a whisper with "wuff wuff fuff". He just started that last night and it's so cute. My kid's a genius, clearly. :P

We are still the mama and dada club. But ba seems to mean give me your phone/book. I love to hear her say mama but she also says it to dada:)

Most popular are 'bye daddy' and 'yum'
If anyone is eating anything she will reach out or walk over and say 'yum' which also means give me some!
My girl loves food!

I am on team mostly babbles and screeches. He says sock and horse, mama and dada (not directed at anything) and that's about it. He makes noise and understands more, like when I tell him to go get a book and I will read to him he goes into his room, grabs a book off the shelf and brings it to me. He signs milk, all done and shakes his head no at everything.

@EmmyFitzy no talk here either.  I thought I had the only N13 baby who didn't talk yet!  I'm not worried about her developmentally, when we went to the pedi two weeks ago, he wasn't concerned.  All babies accomplish milestones at different times.

Kfran84

Gah. I need to learn some signs. How do you teach them? Just repeat a lot as you're doing something? Like when you offer milk so you sign and say milk a lot?

cagoldi

OMG @Sing2phins, You are the Baby Whisperer!! A does that sign with the index finger to his palm and I have been telling Pete I have no idea what he means, and kept trying to remember to ask his DC teachers, but I forget every time. I'm so glad you decoded this for me.

The only other sign he has done is milk, and it's been quite some time since we've seen that from him, especially now that we are only offering his bedtime bottle.

Daycare taught G to sign. I noticed him doing the sign for eat one day at home, and had to Google it because I had no clue. We started using it after I noticed him doing it. Every time we say "eat" we do the sign.
