First Word

Has your child said any words yet, and if so, what was their first word?
It sounded like my son's first word was "hi" when he was around late 2 months-early 3 months. But his first distinct word was "mom" when he was 3 months. His vocabulary thus far consists of "hi," "mom," "mama," "baba," "dada", and "ama"(instead of grandma)

Re: First Word
hehehe, this is us too.
this. And sometimes it sounds like she is saying "Dada" when looking at DH and "Mama" when she wants me to hold her or is hungry.
Lots of babbling but no intentional words. The milestone chart I read said first intentional words don't come for quite a while yet, so wow!!
I take your eeeee and aaaahhhh and raise you a bahhhhh lol. OP that is quite advanced.
us too - nothing concrete yet. some ba ba, mama but not intentional i'm sure!
This thread reminds me of "I've felt the baby move" posts at 7 weeks.
Lizzy makes all sorts of random sounds but I'm not expecting intentional speech for quite some time.
LMAO!! Us too...
I'm glad someone said it.
LMFAO!!!!
Like I said, everyone develops at their own pace. So just because your child hasn't done something yet, doesn't mean that another person's child isn't capable of doing so.
LOL My thoughts exactly!
Me too!
This.
Practicing consonant sounds =/= saying words. Seriously, ask your pedi what he/she thinks
LMAO!!! Mine is already bi-lingual!

Having a bachelor's degree in Psychology, I can tell you that there is NO WAY that at 2 months old that your child could form words. Their brains are not capable of grasping language, left alone speaking. The brain is not developed enough to comprehend language until later.
Your child may be making sounds that sound like words, but like I said at 2 months it is not possible. I think that it is more hopeful/wishful thinking on your part that your child said actual words. We all want our kids to be smart and advanced, but its not possible for every child to be advanced. Hate to burst your bubble.
I so want to know what your pedi has to say about this at your next appointment. Like, REALLY curious.

Well, actually my baby says words all the time. She actually recites novels, so her vocabulary is slightly better than your baby's. Sooo.....
Yeah, not a big deal.
Hee hee. Me too. DS started saying dog and mama and dada (yeah, dog was his first word) at 11 months, which was early, according to the pedi. Before 9 months is generally not considered "real" talking, just them experimenting with sounds.
