How many words/phrases LO says

Rachelilly23 · January 2014

Went for E's 15 month appointment Monday and the pedi asked about this.

Rachelilly23 · January 2014

Emmett says:
Mama
Dada
Doggie
Car
Poop
All done
Uh oh
Hot
Hi
Peek-a-boo
ETA:
Fish
Cracker
Tickle
Dexter (our dog)

There may be others but I'm forgetting right now.

Um...not much. He says Mama and that's pretty much all he can say. He babbles all the time, but no clear words. My MIL swears she heard him say dog, but I dunno about that. But he's great at telling us he needs a diaper change! He pats himself and grabs our hands and brings us to his room!

K says a lot of things that barely resemble the word she means, so I am not sure if that counts?

Yep, pretty much this. I voted 1-3 words because we do mama, dada and uh oh. Like Laura, a lot of sounds and babble, but no real words.

We were at a party NYE with other kids and a 19 month old girl was there. She can already say several clear sentences and I started to feel bad for myself, wondering if my girls were behind. But then I heard the 19 month old say "shut up" to her mom, and I was reminded why I'm not in a hurry for my girls to talk!

Alice also "says" a lot of stuff that most people wouldn't understand if they didn't spend all day with her. But she can get her point across for:
Mama
Dada
Duke (ILs dog)
Nana
Gaga (grandma, grandpa, papa)
More
All done/all gone
Here you go
thank you
xbox
this
that
night-night

This is us. Is Henry supposed to be saying words now???

Sometimes he says "boo" to mean "book," I guess. Maybe I'm just not paying attention. He gestures a lot more than he uses words that resemble actual English. He is a talker, though...just usually of non-sense and babbles.

StefanieM522 · January 2014

Wesley can say hi, bye, mama, dada, dog, bubbles, boo, baba, uh oh, whoa and a few others, he babbles a lot and can usually get his point across as to what he wants.

E started saying more words just recently and he was a September baby, not sure how old your LO is but language booms happen pretty fast from my experience. I don't think it's anything to worry about though

Our pedi was like whoa! when I said he said 10.

LorMor · January 2014

She's fluent in bird, chats to all the birds that fly around/hang out in our garden, but only a couple of English words. A bit unexpected, since DH and I are way more verbal than physical, but not a concern. She refuses to say Mama. We're both Dada.

CnAnA · January 2014

@ziegeficker yeah, xbox was her first word besides mama/dada. Because we win at parenting. Lol

she hides the xbox remote, so I use voice commands a lot. She's learned that when I say xbox, the tv does fun things.

lady dixneuf · January 2014

E is up to at least 25 words. They come quickly, he will have 5 more a week. He did "eat nana" (eat banana) and signed it this am. He often signs and says the word together now.

He mostly randomly shouts out his sister's name, which is funny.

hilsy85 · January 2014

Here's what we have so far:

Mama

dada

up

boom

moo

door

ball

button

belly button

bubbles

wow

uh oh

all done

bye bye

this

shoe

banana

beep

eye

siren noise (for fire truck)

bark noise (for dogs)

At this age I think animal noises/sounds count as words? These are all ones he uses consistently.

morrkim · January 2014

Most of Alexis' words only we understand. For dog she says dadoo, or dahdoo. She also says shoe or Jew for juice. She says mama and dada. She also says something that sounds like thank you. She also says uh oh. The other day she said a babbled sentence with different syllables instead of her just repeating one or two syllables.

Wally3 · January 2014

He has said a few ball go up but the only things he says consistently are momma and dada.

LorMor · January 2014

Wanted to add that her understanding is phenomenal. She'll follow instructions when I use words for objects she doesn't know.

wesleycrusher · January 2014

yeah, she says no words. no mama or dada, although she makes those sounds and constantly babbles it's not directed at anything. but she understands and can follow directions.

she does say "da?" while pointing, which we take to mean "look at that thing." it's usually a cat.

chricast · January 2014

I think this is everything she can say and then there is tons of jibberish babble.

mama & Mommy

dada & daddy

dog

cat

hi

hi daddy - not hi mommy.

All dee- for all done

pop pop

mom mom

uh oh

whats that

here

thank you

mi mi (my moms dog mia)

Riley (my brothers dog)

J is obsessed with the word flower. It is relentless.

I think she has 15-20 overall. More if you count words she "says" but doesn't mean. Like if you start the music for row row row your boat she'll say "row row row row row".

annabelle8101 · January 2014

Mama
Dada
Yeah

Sillygirl85 · January 2014

Like others what Elijah says is clear to me, but I'm not sure it would be 100% clear to others.

He says,

Mama
Dada
Up
Down
Outside
Dog
Cat
Ball
Hot
plow truck
Mud
llama

@BandEddie I need sound clips of the demon child. Kthx.

Mrs_Lady · January 2014

About 12 that we recognize: God, MaMa, Dada, tanx (aka Thanks, clap, up,i get, hi, yes, bed (aka bread), baba (aka bottle)
Oh yeah Abt (aka what he calls his aunt)
He countlessly babbles his baby talk though and totally lets us know what he wants and understands directional stuff we say to him. Its amazing

CLLDLL · January 2014

G says around 25- 30 words/phrases. D at this age was barely saying mama and dad. He's now doing just fine in 2nd grade. I think they all just learn at their own pace. Plus I think 2nd+ children usually talk sooner since they always have an older sib babbling at them!!

Some of my favs of G's:

Christmas tree (sounds like tismas tee)
Thank you
Uh oh
Bath
Duck
Feed the piggies (what I say when trying to get him to let me put his socks on)

Book
Milk
Tickle tickle (while tickling himself)
Bebo ( which sounds more like baby. It was awesome explaining to my mom why he kept pointing to my belly and saying baby. No mom I'm not KU again. )
Hat - in reference to anything on his head
