let's talk baby babble

DS used to say really cool words like banana, hello, amen. I mean, maybe it was just a fluke but it was pretty cool. Now, seemingly out of habit, he just points at things and says "uuhh??" We can't get him to say an actual word for anything. Anybody experiencing this?

Re: let's talk baby babble

  • DD used to say a few words (dog, duck, dad, mama) before she learned to walk, but once she started a new skill her speech regressed and now she only says "dad". She's been walking for two months and she will still only say dad. Within the last week she has started to try to repeat some words, but it's very incomprehensible.

    Has your DS learned a new skill recently?

  • DS seems to only be able to use about three words at a time. It seems like if he learns a new one he loses an old one. He has lost "mommy" and "night night" and replaced them with "uh oh" and "paci". Of course "doggie/daddy" - they sound the same - is always a keeper.
  • Lucas only ever really babbles but my kids move young and talk late, my two year old is just now really talking much

  • LO has his own words for stuff, na na is the dog and ne ne is the cat.  But he also says words like turtle..well it sounds more like durdle but you know what he means when he says it.  He also mimics sounds like I said Yuan chuan (circle) while looking at a book of circles and he mimicked it back, not perfectly but you can tell he's trying.  The biggest thing he does is sign.  He often signs things that I don't realize until after he does it, e.g. my phone was on the bed next to him and it lit up and he put his hand to his head and I recognized that as his version of phone.   People all tell me trying to teach two languages at once causes delays but I think he's doing ok.  I understand him very well.  Now I get how when my niece was two and babbling and I couldn't understand her and my sister who was driving the car (we were in the back seat) exclaimed "She's saying look at that pumpkin over there".  I guess you develop an ear for your own kid.  My dh is especially good at figuring him out, but he also understands what the cat is "saying" based on his meows, so he's just good at decoding that a certain noise or babble means something :)
