I was JUST talking to my BFF about this today. Caroline grunts too & she'll make little squeaky noises at the monkey & birds on her playmat but no babbling at us. She started smiling about 3 weeks ago, I assume babbling will come next?!
DS turned 7 months yesterday (6 months adj) and he's not babbling. He'll shriek occasionally and he makes the "mmmmmm" sound a lot. Just this week he's started yelling more and screeching and kind of experimenting with his voice a little. I asked my ped about the lack of babbling when we saw him a few weeks ago. He said it was totally fine and nothing to be worried about. To be honest, I still worry about it a little bit but I'm encouraged by the new vocalizing he randomly started doing.
Oh wow..my little girls (10 weekers) are already making all sorts of sounds and such. From the responses here, I guess they might be early talkers. I just got a first time smile/giggle from Baby A two days ago and a first time smile/giggle from Baby B about 4-5 days ago. Or maybe I am misunderstanding the post. He must be a cutie with all those sounds, though. I'm sure it's coming soon!
