Do your LO's say any words yet?
DD used to do more babbling but in the last month the only noises she makes are squeals and screams. She stopped doing the "babababa" and "mamama".
I'm just curious what other little ones are up to.

Mama
Mimi
Dada
Ball
Uh oh
Thank you
Bye bye
Hi
Puppy
Baby
And she has said dog a few times
Yep. Her brother didn't talk until he was 3 though and is in speech now. Her pediatrician didn't believe us until I took out the videos I have. She says uh oh and baby the most. And thank you sounds more like "ten too" but she repeats most sounds.
Yes, really. She doesn't point to objects and say them but she will mimic and repeat most things. She does point to baby and puppy. And will say uh oh when she drops something. Other than that the other ones have been mimics. And yes, that is even advanced. But like I said it amazes us because her brother didn't talk till age 3 and at 6 he is still in speech therapy.
Lol
You can joke all you want. My irl friends and family know and comment all the time how she is advanced in that aspect. So I know it is 100 true.
For them to mimic is part of speech. Vocabulary is knowing what the word means and how to use it. Words are spoken which is considered part of speech. So if you say a word and don't know what it means, you're not saying a word? Not trying to be snarky.
At first, I felt kind of bad you were getting reamed for your post. But now you're just asking for it.
I'm on this side of it. James mimics all day, but he isn't generating these words himself. I guess this is all semantics though.
BUT...have your irl friends and family seen it??? If not, it isn't valid!!111
And babbles "dadadad" "ummummumm" and "bababa."
LOL. I was seriously going to say this exact thing. Cali has been obsessed with Mary Poppins lately so that song is constantly in my head.
That's exactly what I said. Knowing what it means and how to use it is vocabulary. I'm also certified in TESOL.
My husband has taught me two words in Hindi. "chua" means mouse and "topi" means hat. So when I go to India with him next time, they'll be all, "excuse me, neon white lady, can you GTFO of my way please?" And I'll be all, "mouse. Mouse hat."
Also, remember when everyone was making up crazy milestones like 5 months ago and BPaws said, "damn, H is still startled by his own farts..."
I still die laughing every time I remember that. And I'm team Heinrich today, baby Aggie doesn't say any words, she just crawls around the house with her teeth bared making dinosaur noises.
This exactly.
Just "mamaaaa" when she's upset. That's the only one she makes a real connection with so far because she'll start frantically looking around for me while she says it and stops when she sees me.
Yesterday I said "we're gonna go outside, okay?" and it SOUNDED like she said "k, mum!" But really it was just "gggrrr bumm."
The timing was awesome though.
She doesn't say bye bye but she knows what it means because I say "bye bye!" and she gets p!ssed.
Other than that....nope.
DS is constantly saying mama, dada and baba, but not necessarily using them correctly. When I say "where's dada?", he points at DH though so he's getting there!!

Beautiful baby girl born 11.24.14
A couple of times it sounded like she said uh oh in context but I'm not getting overly excited.
DH speaks German and reads little books to her. Sometimes he talks to her in German and she just smiles like he's talking gibberish or something. I only know a few phrases: good day, good bye, I love you. Totally useless if we go to Germany or Switzerland!
I never said she has a large "vocabulary" I wrote out a list of the words she says/mimics. Some she knows how to use some in context and others she has repeated but does not always use in the right context. So what I was trying to say is that she says words but may not know what they all mean. But now it is just getting too technical.
And that's impressive as well. But I am sure that can't be right since my kid doesn't do that too...
Aggie I'm seriously LOLing at mouse hat haha.
DD pretty much just babbles right now. I think she's really close to "daddy/dada". She sometimes says them in context and sometimes not, so I don't really think it counts yet...
Mulitasking already! That is my kid's favorite pooping position.
Mine still poops in the jumparoo.
So maybe she's behind! This was a first for that pooping position. Normally she sits on the floor and does it so it explodes up her back.
You are all hilarious - I'm sitting here LOLing at my desk.
DD says a bunch of words and mimics well, but the only word we're sure she understands is "clap" - because if you tell her to clap she will do it, regardless of whether someone else is mimicking the motion. We were really excited about that, but she can't say "clap" yet!
I've got a good one---my lo can say my name! I wish I could tell you all I was given a name that is hard to pronounce (e.g. elizabeth), but "an-na" wasn't too hard to figure out.
I suppose lo hears dh say it a lot & tries to copy him.
Bedies that, he says dada, mama, and uh oh. He also says "ah dah" at lot. We wonder if he's trying to talk about our dog. (???) lo loves watching our pup. or, maybe he just likes the way it sounds!
I have a friend at work that says that it is fun to watch old videos that she took of her son babbling. She says that now they have finally figured out some of the things he was trying to talk about!
Though hey, cat and bird aren't always in context.
That's awesome! Apparently that is considered very advanced for ten months so go Keith!
