Talking/babbling

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
Okay, help me feel better about where DD is with talking/babbling.  She started saying dadada and bababa just before she turned 8 months old and still does that all the time, but no mamas (not for lack of effort on my part, lol) and does not seem to be associating any words with objects/people yet.  Tell me some of your LO's are in the same place at almost 11 months and not to worry.

    My LO just turned 11 months old yesterday and although he has said a couple of words "dadda, hi, dodo" they are all just babbling. He doesn't associate any words with objects or people either yet. He's no where close to saying momma either. But he knows that I am momma, he just won't say it. I am not worried about it because I think any babbling is good and they will do it in their own time. My very good friend has a two year old who won't even make sounds. They have gotten him tested for autism(negative thank goodness) and he has reached every other milestone. The pediatrician says next step is speech therapy but they actually think he is just being lazy and can fully speak but won't. So I obviously am just really happy where my LO is at in comparison.

    My DS doesn't say any words yet.  He babbles a lot, but he does associate words with objects.  The only word that I think he tries to say on a daily basis is "cat" but it sounds more like "caaaaa".  Mostly, he just points to things and says "dadadada".  I'm constantly comparing him to my daughter who was saying a few words at this age (and I know I shouldn't do that). 

    I don't think you have to worry.  Every little one develops at their own rate :)

    My little guy will be 11 months in two days

    DS is 9 months and says mama dada baba etc but it's just babbling. No associations with what he is saying, just exploring his voice I think.
