    Around 11m, G was saying "Uh-oh!" with intent (something would fall and he would say "uh-oh")

    His second was either "da-da" or "ball" by the time he was 13m. I can't remember in which order.

    Both of my kids were talking on the early side.  I'd have to look up A's, but N's was kitty kat.

    DS's first word was "up".  He'd been saying "mamama" and "dadada" for awhile but I don't know when he made the association with me and DH.  I honestly don't remember when he first said up- maybe 10 months or so.

    He has been saying "mamama" and "dadadada" for a while but I think he is just starting to associate them. In the last week he has started saying "no no no no". Great word to start off with.

    Elizabeth says Hi with intent. She'll say it when she waves, whenever DH or I come back into a room or when I pick her up from daycare. She says it with a breathy voice, which is pretty funny.

    But other than that, she just babbles. I think she'll say cat next, before she says mama!

    After 20 months, 3 Clomid cycles and 4 IUI cycles, IVF #1 with ICSI = BFP!

    I've been really thinking about this lately. Claire's been saying mama and dad-dee for a while, da da being first at 7 months and ma ma not too much later.  She clearly says "here" when handing you something and "hi" or "hi there" for about 2 months.  She can also shake her head and say a "neh" sound.

    This was N.  She is obsessed with cats.

    Claire also says "Ffffff" (the f sound) when she sees our cat.  We *hope* that she's trying to say his same, Fred.  We hope it's not the F-bomb, but with DH, who knows.

    Contact your pedi and ask them about it. Some children develop milestones at different rates: for example early mobility for some means later verbal displays. Children of multi-lingual homes can also develop verbal speech later.

    There are speech therapists to help you out if it comes to it. Either way, talk to your pedi and see what s/he has to say.

    I was trying to teach sign language to DS and was working on "more". He repeated it back to me at 10 months and never did do the sign. Oh well. :) He is very verbal and talked early and often - it was his motor skills that lagged a bit behind.

    So far, at 8 1/2 months, DD is parroting "hi" and waving while she says it - so I am counting it as her first word. I often say, "hiiiiiii" to her in a high, sing-song voice and she's doing it now too - at people and animals and herself in the mirror. I know that's REALLY early for talking, and don't guess she'll say much more until later, but because it's clear, she's communicating and using it appropriately, I am counting it as her first "word".
