So since we are slow, just thought I'd see what everyone's little ones are saying these days. A is a jabber box and talks up a storm.
A few of her favorite words are Mama, Daddy, she also like saying Hi Mama, Hi Daddy, (she finds it funny to say Hi Daddy when I pick her up at daycare) Bye Bye (when I leave daycare) Papa, Coop (our dog is Cooper) Puppy and her most recent is Stinky (thanks to daddy saying she had a stinky diaper this weekend)
What are you jabber boxes up to?
Re: Babies Vocab....
C still just babbles. Dada, baba, vava, mmmmmmmmmm. Still no mama.
She really doesn't say words at all and I don't think she's ever said any of them with purpose. As in everything is dada.
Violet says:
Mama, Dada, dog, bird, ball, an odd form of Avery (DD1's name) and I swear "I did it" all in one word every time she does something.
Audrey's favorite word is Hi! She says it all the time, and she likes when you say it back. We could have a "Hi" conversation forever I think. lol
Her worst word was mama, then dada. She can say "Hi Dad." I know she says it because she says it right to him. Plus, I always tell her to say "Hi Dada" when we see him or he comes in.
Our Audrey's are alike! Her favorite conversaition to have is saying Hi Daddy to Dad and then he says Hi Audrey back, they can do this for a LONG time. She thinks it is hilarious. Her tiny voice gets a little higher each time!
The only real words he's saying is mama and dada. And, I know for a fact he actually means dada! The other night DH got a phone call while I was trying to wind Ty down, so he left the room. Ty looked at me, looked all around the room, and finally back to me and said "dada?" with a little pout. CUTEST. THING. EVER!!!
He's trying to say kitty, it's just not working yet. He's said bat 1-2 times, but that's all so I'm not counting it really yet.
He LOVES to just sing and sing and sing at the top of his lungs! He'll intermix his la's, da's, ma's and ba's...

Audra says:

D's vocab boomed the last two weeks... He knows what Dog means... He looked at my husband who was wearing a stupid wolf hat that he got in NYC... and said with a straight face 'Dog' so we both think his first word is dog.
He says Mama, Dada, Duck, Dog, and Car. We are working on Rock and Cat...
He signs Milk, More, and Dada/Mama (sometimes he get them mixed up). We are working on Thank you.
He often babbles a lot.

We point to something and its "da" from DD. Everything is "da". However, "dog" sounds a bit different so I'm telling myself she knows "dog" :-P She started saying "this" to everything too. Points to something, says "isss". Still no mmmmmm or mama :-(
Don't stress about it yet! It is so early for talking - as long as she is babbling random sounds I think it is normal.
Oh wow, well DS is surely not saying much. He says Dada, but has replaced that lately with what sounds like baba or mama depends on the day I guess. I don't think he is saying anything with intent. He also says "hi" but it sounds more like a noise rather than the word.
