Saying short phrases?

Mrs.Greg

When do LOs start saying 2 or 3 words together? My babies say LOTS of single words but only say the same word back to back. Like bye bye, no no, night night. I feel like they gotta be getting close to saying little phrases and I guess I'm just excited. Ha ha!

I'm sure it depends on the child. DS has started in the last couple of weeks.

My son doesn't do two word phrases yet but I know its a milestone they are supposed to hit by two years old.

DD2 started using 2-word "sentences" around the 20-month mark. From what I understand, that is a skill Dr's like to see happen by the time kids reach 2 years old, so your girls still have plenty of time...

Mine will be 2 in July and just this last week started picking up on 2 words phrases.

She says: I do it, I sit, Where's Daddy, Who is it and What's that. All within like 4 days she learned those.

She honestly doesn't say a lot of other wor

Mine hasn't yet. But she also has a slight speech delay--enough to be noticeable but not enough to qualify, we had her evaluated in March. 

She does have a lot more words then she used to--and majority of them are recognizable. She also has

DD is still only saying single words, no phrases.  She will very rarely combine something with mama - i.e. mama, nana - but I think that's more that she's trying to get my attention and then tell me that she wants a banana, not trying to make a short

The first thing I noticed my kid putting together on her own was "I wah pee" (I walk please, while I was carrying her) right around 22-23 months. (there are other phrases she said earlier, but only because she learned them from me - "there you are", "here

My son just started saying "Ollie, a dog" and "bowl, gurt"  (Ollie is our dog and gurt is yogurt, which we put in a bowl).  So cute and fun!  Oh, and he's 17 months!

I think this, like everything else with kids, is going to depend on the individual child and not so much the age.  I would wager that early talkers will probably start string together words/phrases/sentences earlier than later talkers.

I think it def depends on the child. My daughter can say sentences, like "Jacob, where are you?" (looking for her cousin) and "No, I want cheese." (that one was in response to me asking her what ELSE she wanted for breakfast). IDK if she is advanced in he
