Since we're on the topic of words, what do you think?

DD says very few words, but I've always been very bad with understanding babies.  She can definitely say "mama" and "dada," but it's all very inconsistent and I don't know that she's clear on what they mean yet.

I have noticed her saying what sounds like "hey" and "yeah" a lot, but they are such short sounds that I can't be sure.  It would make sense though since DH and I say both words a lot.

I think I'm going to start officially claiming that DD knows 4 words.  Think that'll fly?  Stick out tongue  I think I'm losing the milestone race.  DD is so average.  Shucks.

    Have you looked up some of her babble?  It could be a Ross, Rachel, Emma situation in which Isis is spewing all kinds of scientific garble which would mean she is a GENIUS!

    I vote that it counts.  But then again I wrote oww, uh-oh and yeah in his baby book for first words so maybe I'm not the right person to ask.

    I just googled ds's favorite phrase, dugga dugga and this is what came up (from the urban dictionary)

    when your pet snake wants to get high this is what it will say. Also a human term for "Spark it up ***!"

    Ummm, does this mean my kid is not a genius?

    Ahahaha, I had forgotten about that episode.

     

    Rachel: Emma just said her first word - Gleeba!

    Ross: Uhh, Rach, Gleeba isn't a word

    Rachel: Yes it is!

    Ross: OK, then use it in a sentence

    Rachel: Uh, ok, Emma just said Gleeba!

    Mady says dada, mama, and "doh" which apparently means dog because any time she sees one it's 'doh doh doh doh doh doh'. 

     

    M&MM...all of our kids are geniuses, didn't you know?  :)

    Hey now, Isis has three more words than Kendall does. :) Kendall says "dada". When we try to help her say "mama" she says "dada" and laughs at me. Kids!

    Lily says "up dad, dad up, up, up, and up."

    I am counting "up" as her first word.  She only says mom when she is upset.
