LO verbal skills

Because I liked seeing where other babies were at with these skills please re-post your LO's verbal skills. I promise I will not DD.

Jay says woof-woof. But it sounds more like "huh-huh"

He also says mamma. But mostly only when he is upset. Dada is his word of choice. But you can tell when he is saying it in context because he loves his dadda and his eyes light up.

He tries to mimick trick or treat and gets very close.

He always says "all done" in context never out of context.

And then there is the baba, grandpa, and all the other babling noises that he has. He is really trying to get out as many noises as possible. There is more but I can not think of them.

Ive got nothing. When she see's Sam the dog, her BFF, she screeches and the more excited he gets about it, she schreeches louder.  She just started saying "ga"

LO says mama and dada, Hi, Bye-bye and that's about it.  He makes a ton of other non-word sounds and babbles up a storm.  He really sounds like he's tried to say something lol.  Oh!  And he understands a ton of words like when we say "go get the ball" without us pointing to it or looking at it he will go and get the ball...he has said "ba" after we say "ball" but he never says it on his own.  He also goes "mmmm" when he eats something yummy lol!

DD babbles (da, ya, ma, and once ba), repeats "hi" and "yeah", and recognizes her name (except for when we are telling her not to do something because then she loses her sense of hearing).

What I had posted before is that no one should worry about not having words yet. At this stage, babies should be babbling and it should start to sound more like real words. They might even be able to say things that do sound like a real word. But it's not likely that they are using it consistently to refer to an object. These are probably details that only language nerds care about, but lately I feel like IRL people around me have been super worked up about milestones (even the ones you are "supposed" to reach by 30) and I'm just feeling like we all need to chill.

James has da-da down, he said it one day constantly and now only says it once in a while. No context on anything really yet. He says ma-ma when he is really upset and tired at night. All-da (which I say when we are done with food, so I am sure it is a mimic) Otherwise we have key when he is around the cat. Mostly it is screeches clicks with his tongue, a sucky fish face noise, and screams screams and screeches.

JT has lots of things he says and sounds he makes but I'm not sure that any of them are on purpose or in context. He can say (not necessarily knows what it means though) Mama, Dada, baba, Aye, Nana and that's about it. He tries to read books and mimic what I say but it just comes out sounding like gibberish. So dang cute.

DD says momma, dada, dog, hi, bye, and yay.  It is so fun to hear her say new things!

I am not concerned about where Jay is at. I know he will teach each milestone when he is ready. But MIL is always saying how advanced he seems in his verbal skills. I just think he is normal. It is nice seeing where babies of similar ages are at IRL and not reading a piece of paper saying where he should be at.

Yeah, it's fun to see what other kids are doing too. These Jan babies sound like so much fun!

Dada still reigning supreme at our house.  Fake crying/screeching is also on the rise.  Still no mama to my face...though she has said it a couple times for daycare and a babysitter (cried out "mama" while upset).

Joseph babbles a stream of unintelligible sounds, but the only ones that he says clearly is "ya", "yeah", "ma-a-a" and "dad". Yes, he still says "da da" but started to say "dad" to everything. He picked it up from one of his fellow daycare buddies. Funny how they pick up on this stuff so early.

He squeals, screeches and giggles whenever he sees the cat and blows raspberries when he's chasing after her. Still says "ba ba", "ra ra", "mmmm", "ha ha" and a tons of other sounds. He copies me now if I say "mmmm" while he's eating.

He still hasn't quite gotten the hang of "ma-a-a". He doesn say it, he SHOUTS it when he sees me. I can see he can understand a bit of what we say to him now. Or so I hope when he smiles back as if he understands.

DS started with dada, but for the past few months it is a constant babbling of mama-mama-mama.  He tries to say hi when I say is to him, but he just kind of yells.  He almost says bye bye.  He loves to "talk" so he is always making new and interesting sounds.  They don't really make sense yet though.  I think he also is starting to understand more of what we are saying - like no, cat, his name etc.

DS knows how to growl at you.  That's about all he does on purpose.  The other dada, mama and baba's are just babbling.  He doesn't know what they mean yet.

Iz says mom when she's upset, dada all the time and yeah yeah yeah as if she is in conversation. We take advantage of this providing for lots of laughs when we ask her questions. She also say Jack, but I'm pretty sure no one else would distinguish it as Jack.

cougarlicious

Mine babbles and screeches, but no consonant sounds....so no dada or mama or gaga yet.

This exactly.

My DD says "mama", "dada" and "baba" (mom, dad, bottle).  She will imitate "hi" when someone says it.
