I love you!! Every morning I pick him up from his crib say I love you and asked if he slept well. This morning I said I love you and he responded with I love you! Made me tear up even knowing he doesn't know what it means yet still made my heart melt.

He's already saying whole words?

PepperStick · May 2013

That's pretty amazing he's saying whole phrases at nine months old.

Um... congrats. You must have a child prodigy there.

"A-loo" doesn't count as 'I love you'. Just sayin'.

Now don't expect too much from now on.

tinyhumantoe · May 2013

Aww! Lo is just now making non screaming or shrieking sounds LOL. Hoping to hear a dada in the next month!

I thought Kate was advanced for already conquering mama. Of course, she usually only says it when des cranky or needs something, but still...

I'm guessing mimicked the words 'I love you'? Or all out real words

I don't think a kid can declare their undying love for their parent at this age, but i dont think thats what OP was implying :].

To me saying mama, dada and I love you are all in the same category. I get that it seems funny that an 8 mo old can speak a "phrase"... but I'm sure most babies view it as one word, iloveyou. Like when I'm drunk. Totally one word.

Now when Toni's kid says, "who you callin meatball," we can scoff :]

INmommy871278 · May 2013

PP it was clear as day. All others, he has been saying mom since he was 4 months old, started saying daddy at 6 months, has been saying hi since about 4.5 months, responds with huh when he has his back turned and we say his name, and all these words are said with knowledge of what they mean. So, yes, I apparently have a child prodigy because he is an early talker. Early talkers run on my side; all of my siblings, myself included, were saying phrases by 9 or 10 months.

You're delusional if you think he knows what he's saying... Or if you think he's actually speaking full sentences at all.

Delusional, I repeat.

My kid says dada... and not to anyone in particular. But boy does she make lots of girly noises.

Ha! Funny!! According to the numerous classes I took in college on early education and google all babies are different. In addition, by the age of 12 months your child should brushing 15 words on a semiregular basis with knowledge of what the words mean. While DS may not know what I love you means, he does us the words mom, daddy, hi, huh?, and good in proper context forgot to add good in the above comment which you clearly skimmed over. Not only have myself and DH heard DS use the words, but family, friends, and STRANGERS have heard him say it too. Early speaking runs in my family, also mentioned in the above comment, as a matter of fact my niece who is 3 weeks younger than DS says doggy in proper context. I would do a bit more research before calling someone delusional, but that's just me.

[Deleted User] · May 2013

Oh, okay.

KellersPrag · May 2013

No, OP. I'm going to have to go with Betty here. Delusional.
I have studied early childhood education, and worked in a daycare. I repeat: child prodigy.

cmumama · May 2013

Wow. My 3 yo is just putting together 3-4 word sentences. Granted, he works with an SLP, but I didn't realize he was THAT far behind. Crap.

thetwinkies&Vivi · May 2013

Maybe my kids need to hang around your kid. Some of that prodigy could rub off.

Awe, how sweet. Care to share a video?

LOL

bosha711 · May 2013

LOL, Mands

DS was saying "all done" by 9 months old in context, b/c I would say it a million times a day. After a diaper change, when he woke up from his nap, when he was done eating, etc. It was his third "word", after mama & dada. He said it for the first time totally unprompted when he was done eating. Everyone around the table heard it & was like, "umm, did he just say all done? And then sure enough, he said it again even clearer. Then he started saying it on a regular basis after that.

So I agree that if DS is saying "I love you" now it's because you've said it a million times to him, lol. So, yes, he's *just* mimicking, but in all fairness, that *is* how babies learn to talk!

DD isn't saying anything yet, really. She doesn't even really babble. She just does more sing-songy noises, screeches & squeals at this point. So, yes, all babies are different

If what you are saying is true, I would honestly be a little worried about echolalia.

same here. But, that's my fault for hanging around the SN board too often. I am overall pretty good at scaring myself.
