Speaking terms???
Ok so my LO is now 13 months old, but doesn't really say a whole lot. We have the all popular "Uh oh" that was learned months ago and stuck. He says "all done" or his variation of it. He sometimes says "da-da" but doesn't always say it to DH.
He used to say "ma-ma" around 7 months old, but won't anymore for some reason. I point to myself and say "ma-ma" and point to him and say "Jaxon", then back and forth. He looks at me and says "a-da" then laughs, like he knows he's not saying it right! The little monkey he is!!
He follows directions GREAT, so I'm not sure when they start to develop more words, I know they all learn different, but I just thought "ma-ma" and "da-da" happened by now?
What all are your LO's saying these days??

Re: Speaking terms???
M says: dada, mama, kiss for uncle Chris, pappap, car for the dog Charlie because she can't say char, bath, yes, please, bed.
O says a few words. She will say dada, but you can tell she means it for H when she says it a certain way, I can't explain in text lol.
She will say momma, but only if she's crying or hurt herself.
She calls the dog "bah" and he is starting to come when called haha.
She will say yea and dat.
She will also shake her head yes or no when asked a question.

DD says mama, dada, duck, dog, no, and yes. She also moos and roars, but those aren't really words.
She has become an efficient talker these days, so she now replaces most words with this and that. She will still call me mama at times, but usually I'm this.
She understands quite a bit. She will answer questions (yes/no) and follow commands.

im pretty sure this is us too. Em claps and says her version of "yeah" while clapping, but other than that, I don't think she clearly says anything. She says dada but not directed at him consistently so I still consider that babbling.
Hmmm DS doesn't say a WHOLE lot
he says mama, dada, dog (dah), cat, that (dat) and No (sounds like go, but he's got the whole finger point down to go along with it)
It is still common at this age for kids to not have many words. DS was slow to talk and only had a few words by 18 months. At 3 he talks non stop and has a huge vocabulary.
DD, on the other hand, doesn't babble a lot but is clear and intentional when she does speak. So far she uses mama, dada, Kai, hi, doggy, kitty, please, thank you, all done, more, up, down, help, milk, and cheese pretty consistently.
