Tell me about your LO's talking

jessknell · November 2010

How understandable is your LO when they "talk" DS says MaMa and DaDa super clear but the rest of his words are a craps shoot! He says Yes and Yeah sometimes fairly clear. He says kitty but it sounds like "Tedah" and we're trying to get him to say Grandma but it usually comes out "BeBa" and he hasn't even attempted to say "Hi"

I'm not worried about his speech because he's still young, I'm just wondering what everyone else's LO's are doing because I'm nosey! Stick out tongue

She says dada a lot, and mama is actually kind of rare. She actually says cat and hi better than anything, clear as day. You can tell she's trying to say dog, but it doesn't sound like it yet.

Clear as day words

Mama

Dada

Hi

KiKi = Kitty

Hank says Mama Dada and Ball... Oh, and his favorite?!? NO!

I put his shoes on him the other day, and as I was squeezing his little foot into his shoe, he told me, "No, no, no, no!"

The ones that other people have understood are:

Mama

Dada

Book (without the hard k sound, so just boo)

Thank You (sounds like Ank You, no th sound quite yet)

i consider his first words happening at 9 1/2 months. he waved his hand and said "bye, bye". he does the mama one a lot...i figure that now he must be associating it w/me.

Clearly says in context:

Mama

Dada

YaYa (Greek for Grandma)

Got (with a soft "t", as in "Got it" when he grabs something he wants)

He is doing Mama, Dada or Daddy. Kitty sounds like Key but he can occasionally say kiki. Baba for bottle. He says hey and Uh Oh! He makes motoring sounds when he drive his truck.

Everything else just sounds like baby babbles.
