I swear Jake says "I gooooooooooooood."  I know he's not really saying it, but he is a talker.  We talk, babble, and laugh.  Right now he's in his chair grabbing his foot and talking to it.  Lord...I wish I could grab my foot and stick it up to my mouth.  Noooo...I'm not attempting to do that right now as I write this out.  lol

My DS makes the mama sound and sometimes it really seems like he's using it appropriately.  Other times it really sounds like he is saying yeah when I ask him a question.    lol

I have a babbler...and she often sounds like a pterodactyl!

It's normal for babies to sound like they're saying actual words even when they're not.

Yeah, I really don't think your baby is actually 'saying' those words, just babbling in such a way that it might sound like those words (with either a lot or a little imagination).  It will take a loooooong loooong time before you will hear actual words from her. 

Stella is right now mostly 'gargling' haha ... grrrrnnnn grrr and ooohs and aaahs a whole lot.  Wide toothless smiles and cute little giggles ... and she's ahead in her development according to our doctor. 

 It sounds like you're a little impatient with seeing your baby grow up.  It's very common and I see it a lot, especially in first-time mommas, but remember, they're babies only for such a short time!  When they're big, you're going to spend a lot of time wishing they were that cute and little again ...

E babbles and chats when he's happy, but when he's ready to eat I swear he says "MAAAAAMAAAAAAAAAMAAAAAAAAA!". My DH always follows this with "MAAA! The meatloaf!!" from Wedding Crashers.

I'm sorry but I don't think your LO is actually talking. She might be saying things that sound like words, but she has no clue, so that doesn't really count. Until they can say words on purpose, it doesn't count...which should start happening around a year old.

I agree. Or at LEAST until 6-8 months. At 4 months noway. 

Twinkz

I agree with MrsBMW but our pedi said your LO should have at least said their first few words by 9 months.

Ohh and we say "maaa the meatloaf" after DS babbles too

I don't think she's being impatient at all.  It's just exciting!

This is too funny. No one is being a downer just stating facts. Your little one is not talking. She will in due time. I also imagine that when I ask Ava a question and she babbles something that sounds close to a real word that she understands me and is answering me, but I know for a fact that she can't yet.

Yeah, I saw a video of a 'talking' Husky the other day ...

LynsiBHM

ya, my son does the same thing as my pug in regards to "talking."  I can get both of them to mimic what I say. They both say "hi" if I say it to them a few times, along with other words and short phrases. I even got the dog to say "i love you" after I saw the talking pug on tv. But I know they aren't actually conversing

In OPs defense, this is the first step in learning how to talk (parroting).
