Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Let's talk vocabulary

In the past 2 weeks LO has gone from babbling to all-out talking.  He's got probably 20 words and has started saying "good girl" to the dog, "all done" when he's done eating, and says "bye-bye" when I'm on my cell phone wrapping up a conversation.  Can he hear the inflection in my voice?  It's so strange!  What are your 15-16 month olds "talking about"?

  • We do happy day for happy birthday, bye-bye, uh-oh, Mama, Dada, and a few others :)

  • I feel like DD has started talking a lot more recently too. She will pick up a phone and say Hello loud and clear. She says touchdown and puts her hands up (so friggen funny). She says Good girl, doggy, cookie, ba ba, mama, da da, uh oh,cat, thank you (or something that sounds like thank you) and a few more. I think my favorite right now though is if you sing Lady Gaga's Bad Romance (the part where she says Love Love Love) DD repeats it. So funny.

    LOL-singing to Lady Gaga and touchdown are super cute!  I love their little personalities.

  • DD's english words are: book, up, night night, bye bye, hi, some (as in I want some), yes, no, ba (bath), pee-pee, two

    Her spanish words are: agua (water), tete (leche/milk), sapato (shoe), caca (poop), gugo (jugo/juice)w

    There are words she says daily like agua, tete, book, up, jugo and words she says when she feels like it like sapato, bye bye, hi. She also knows words that are part of songs but she won't say it otherwise like spiher (itsy bitsy spider) and head (head shoulders knees and toes).

  • DD's newest thing is shaking her finger at the dog and telling her "no, no" Cracks me up (especially when the poor dog is just taking a nap). She also has started trying to sing the ABCs along with us and when we read her favorite book she'll do some of the repetitive parts with us.

  • Jack is turning 15 months tomorrow and I'm hoping he has a vocabulary explosion soon because as much as I am trying to not freak out, he doesn't talk....at all.  He babbles and will say bababa, mamama, dadada but not in correlation with anything.

    ::repeating to myself "he will talk when he's ready, he will talk when he's ready" over and over::

  • DD talks a lot. She started pretty early and now (just turned 15 months) she repeats everything. No joke. every.single.thing.

    She is into saying " I love you" and that just melts my heart. We go back and forth saying " I love you", "no,I love you!", "no! I love you!"...it's too cute.

  • My guy says "uh-oh" and that's about it....

    LMAO I love this.
  • DS doesn't say much.  He says mama, dada, book, bun (for his bunny) and airplane.  He said uh-oh yesterday for the first time. DS is very quiet and I know he'll talk more at some point.  His receptive language is great and he understands directions we give him very well.

  • DD's got a pretty large vocabulary-- her pedi hypothesizes because she was in a full-body cast from months 13-16 so she focused on the verbal side of her brain instead of the motor skill milestones that she wasn't allowed to hit (walking, etc.). Right now she's obsessed with her colors and tells me what color *everything* is---just as long as it's red, yellow, blue, green, pink. purple, white, brown, black or gray. She's also into all animal sounds, finishing parts of the alphabet and starting to understand counting but the colors thing is adorable- I love it and always say "what is this?" and when she answers automatically "what color is it?" Thankfully she doesn't hate me yet :) 
  • The words/phrases DD uses often and correctly are mama, dada, papa, nana, hi, bye, kitty cat, duckie, baby, uh oh, whats that, there you are, cheese, no no, yay, nose, eye. She knows a few animals and can make the sounds. She has a few words from tv shows and books she'll use occasionally. She'll repeat alot of what we say alot. I love her interpretations. Like tonight, I kept counting 1, 2, 3 before she went down the slide. She kept repeating after she got off the slide "ooo, eww, free."

  • My DS says, up, down, moon, juice, light, more, mama, dada, uh-oh, all done, and just started saying hello when you put a phone up to his ear.

  • E has gone wild with talking in the past two weeks as well. We had to make a list to make sure we counted all of her words! She can say many body parts, commands such as up and down, on and off, back (as in put that back!), about 10 names, 10 or 15 foods, and 7 or 8 animals. She also says simple commands such as "bib off" or "blanket on", or "close door", and she can say some book titles like "Go dog go" or "Spot goes splash". She has been an early talker from the get-go, and has always been a little bit behind on motor skills.

  • He's not.

    He has long drawn out babble conversations but no real words.

  • Another big babbler here.

    The only clear ones we have: momma, daddy, babu (her word for dog - long story), hi, and baby. We're trying really hard for brains so she can say it in her zombie outfit for next weekend, thus far she says, "braiiiiiiis".

    She's thrown in a few mumbled others and tries to imitate more as of late. 

  • DS really likes the word bath right now. If he sees anyone without all their clothes on (for instance, a siggy pic of a baby in a diaper, beach photos, etc) he says "bath" and does the sign for it. It's cute :) If DH or I are in the bathroom, he says "dada bath" or "mama bath".

    He is also talking a lot about dogs. Every animal is a dog. He says "dog dog dog", then "woof woof woof."

    Yesterday a kid in front of us in the check-out line was singing old Macdonald, and DS came home singing "e i e i o". I couldn't believe how fast he picked it up, we never sing kids songs to him (bad parents).
