LO verbal skills
Because I liked seeing where other babies were at with these skills please re-post your LO's verbal skills. I promise I will not DD.

Re: LO verbal skills
Jay says woof-woof. But it sounds more like "huh-huh"
He also says mamma. But mostly only when he is upset. Dada is his word of choice. But you can tell when he is saying it in context because he loves his dadda and his eyes light up.
He tries to mimick trick or treat and gets very close.
He always says "all done" in context never out of context.
And then there is the baba, grandpa, and all the other babling noises that he has. He is really trying to get out as many noises as possible. There is more but I can not think of them.

DD babbles (da, ya, ma, and once ba), repeats "hi" and "yeah", and recognizes her name (except for when we are telling her not to do something because then she loses her sense of hearing).
What I had posted before is that no one should worry about not having words yet. At this stage, babies should be babbling and it should start to sound more like real words. They might even be able to say things that do sound like a real word. But it's not likely that they are using it consistently to refer to an object. These are probably details that only language nerds care about, but lately I feel like IRL people around me have been super worked up about milestones (even the ones you are "supposed" to reach by 30) and I'm just feeling like we all need to chill.
James has da-da down, he said it one day constantly and now only says it once in a while. No context on anything really yet. He says ma-ma when he is really upset and tired at night. All-da (which I say when we are done with food, so I am sure it is a mimic) Otherwise we have key when he is around the cat. Mostly it is screeches clicks with his tongue, a sucky fish face noise, and screams screams and screeches.
I am not concerned about where Jay is at. I know he will teach each milestone when he is ready. But MIL is always saying how advanced he seems in his verbal skills. I just think he is normal. It is nice seeing where babies of similar ages are at IRL and not reading a piece of paper saying where he should be at.
Dada still reigning supreme at our house. Fake crying/screeching is also on the rise. Still no mama to my face...though she has said it a couple times for daycare and a babysitter (cried out "mama" while upset).
Joseph babbles a stream of unintelligible sounds, but the only ones that he says clearly is "ya", "yeah", "ma-a-a" and "dad". Yes, he still says "da da" but started to say "dad" to everything. He picked it up from one of his fellow daycare buddies. Funny how they pick up on this stuff so early.
He squeals, screeches and giggles whenever he sees the cat and blows raspberries when he's chasing after her. Still says "ba ba", "ra ra", "mmmm", "ha ha" and a tons of other sounds. He copies me now if I say "mmmm" while he's eating.
He still hasn't quite gotten the hang of "ma-a-a". He doesn say it, he SHOUTS it when he sees me. I can see he can understand a bit of what we say to him now. Or so I hope when he smiles back as if he understands.
