Talking LOs

Sonadora

When did your LO say his/her first word?

And I mean a word with intention, like he looked at the dog and said "dog" or picked up a ball and said "ball." I know other people count babbling dadadadada or something as a word, but I do not.

Does it count if I showed A a pic of DH this weekend while we were away from him and she said "dada?"

Sonadora

No idea. Does she do it consistently?

B looked at H and said "dada" around 6 months for a few days in a row, then never did it again. So we don't count that.

vflipo

Not sure. We're not really around at the same time ever. Our schedules are opposite. I'll try again tonight and see if she does it

It was around 10 months I believe. She now says about 40 words that she "knows." She repeats a handful of words but has no intent.

No words here yet either.  He babbles "dada" "baba" and "mama" but nothing with intent.  That is how we "count" it also, he has to look at something/someone and say the word, not just babbling while playing.

She really hasn't.  We thought she had purposefully said both a dada and mama about a month ago, but hasn't done it again.  She babbles both all the time.  I am trying not to worry.  I know she knows plenty of words.

I can't remember exactly when it started (bad mom) but by the one year visit, LO had mama, dada, ball, bottle, and cat.

LO knows words, doesn't always say them correctly though.  She started saying "uh oh" this week, it is funny.
