Words used by LO?

[sassypantzz]

DS has pretty close to no vocabulary other than Mama and Dada and even then I am not convinced he knows what he is saying as opposed to making the sound.  At 9 mo DD had a full vocab of about 8 words she regularly used and understood- So I have both sides of the spectrum.  I am just curious.. what words do your kids say/use?

[sunfrogger88]

We are pretty on par with your DS. We say mama, I think we are saying bye bye (bah bah). She says ahhhhhhhh when she wants the dog.

She does know words though. Kiss, hug, up (I'm working on this one to say), goodnight, wave, tub, etc. We're not understanding no yet but she reacts to the other ones appropriately.

Lol... yea IDK that we will ever get that one...

[ldubhawksfan]

It feels contrary to say DD is non-verbal because she babbles and screeches non stop, but her only real word is da-da. Sometimes it's just da and I joke she is a Russian baby.

She does understand more though. Bye-bye, dog, down, drink, milk (with signing too), eat, splash, kick. She does know no, and understand it, but is defiant most of the time! Ha

[samelly]

He says Mama which he also says when he wants more food. But that is it. My 1st didn't have many words until after her 1st birthday. She has a great vocabulary now.

[ashleymarie26]

She says Hi. That's all.

But she will sign more, all done, milk when you ask her to or if she wants more, milk, etc. She will also blows kisses, give hugs, wave bye, point to different people. But the only word she truly says repeatedly and with conviction is Hi. (Over and over and over even if she just saw you 10 seconds ago)

[schmella]

W says "guh!" In reference to our dog, Gus. And Hi. She says dada to DH but also just babbles dada dada a lot. She screams MAMAMAMAMA when she's mad. But Gus & Hi are pretty well defined.
A just started saying something like "dog" - I think the noticeable significance is that it's the only time he uses a single syllable instead of dada dada. Also screams MAMAMAMAMA when pissed.

[younglove316]

We say Mama and Dada and then it's pretty much a string of babbled, screeching, and high pitch squealing. DD1 also had more words at this time but she still doesn't stop talking so I also feel like DD2 wouldn't get a chance to talk much anyways

[rachaeleigh]

We think that LO says dog...sounds more like Doog. She also very clearly says no but it only seems like she's using it appropriately about half the time. That's about it

Ya, no mama or dada even here.

She has words but they are mostly in the way that I understand DD1 very well when other people have no idea what she is saying because I am around her all the time. 

Cat was her first word. That one is clear as a bell. Hat is another word she has which sounds almost exactly like cat but she grabs her head or puts something on her head when she says it. Horse, sounds like "orse" so it's pretty clear but it's not a regular word she uses. Brush, she'll say "uss" when I say brush then get really excited about brushing her teeth and will say it over and over. Touch and glasses because I remind her a lot that we "touch, don't grab mommy's glasses"; these come out as "otc" and "ass" lol but they are obvious because she will say them together mostly unless she's talking about touching something else but her little pointer finger is out and really close to her face. She's also starting to say what I think is supposed to be "what's that" but is just "AA-t" it's really about tone that I can tell and also she'll point at one thing after another and when we tell her what it's called she points to something else and says it again.

Then there are other things like I know when she's trying to call DD1 by name. She'll say "cAAAt" and again, it's a tone thing that I know what she's saying. For some reason for dog she says "a cat" lol. So it's like "cat" is her default word she builds other sounds off of or if she doesn't know what to call something.

So she is very vocal and getting along in words but when we compare her to her sister who was using 3 words sentences by the time she was one, she seems more "behind" but obviously isn't. 

[fuzzylogic]

Yeah, we've got da-da, ma-ma, bah-bah and a lot of vowel sounds. Also gurgling, "guh," clicking her tongue (we worked on that together lol), smacking her lips, occasional v's or f's, growling, and playing around with pitches on "ah."

I'm pretty sure she knows dog is dog, and will sit in her high chair, tossing food to the dog while saying "dah!" and smiling. She knows we are mama and dada. Bah-bah is often milk but also just chatting.

[yummeecookee]

Just mama and dada here also. He is much noisier than my DD was though. All sorts of "guh" "baa" "aaah" "oooo" and random sounds.

[colinsfebmommy]

She says mama (JUST started saying it), dada, og (dog and points at ours), Baba (bottle), ball, hi, bye bye, up, bebe (baby), no and shakes her head no, uh oh when things are dropped lol

She points and squeals a lot at things she wants and she understands when you ask her to do certain things too like "go get ....." or give me kiss. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this age.

[flyliceandcoffee]

sassypantzz -- our pedi just said today that at one year it's perfectly normal for them to NOT have any meaning to their words which made me feel sooo much better. K will say dadadada or mamamamama all day long but he has no idea what he's actually saying and the pedi said that was just fine.

He does sign all done by raising his hands in the air when he's done eating, or if you ask him if he's all done, he'll start clapping which is his way of saying he wants more. other than that though, we got nothin'.

[winogirl]

he is just now starting to make the "ma" and "da" sounds. Mostly he says bababababa all day long.

He does sign milk and he knows milk, mama, dada, kitty, no, no bites, hungry as words but doesn't say them. At least he responds appropriately whenever we say those words. lol

AND...I totally just realized that this is NOV and not JAN 15. DS was due in Jan and born in NOV, so he kind of splits the difference.

::waves hi::

hi!!!! Always welcome here!!!!!

[kensie5226]

We've got mama and dada. She says it to me and means it, but also to other things. She says dog, but it's more like "gog" and all animals are dog. Sort of hi. Right now anytime she wants something she can't reach she points and says "bob".

[sunfrogger88]

We just got down "up" and "uppies". She grabs the Lille and says "up!"

[kensie5226]

Yesterday she learned "up". Now she says it when she wants help to stand or me to life her up.

[PonyGirl]

All we say is "dada" no interest in saying mama AT ALL. lol

[Deleted]

We have a very clear "mama" and "go," lol! I'm not sure where the "go" came from. I expect his vocabulary to increase now that he has tubes. He failed his hearing test when we went to the ENT so he hasn't been able to hear us talk.

My DD was was/is extremely verbal. She was saying tons of words at this age and was saying 2 word sentences by her first birthday.

I can't remember how early DS1 was talking. It was such a long time ago.

I guess I'm experiencing both sides of the spectrum too.

[allycat]

We've got mamamammamama and guh! Babababbabaaba and all the babbles. No dada, which kills my H. But mama doesn't really mean me so much as that he needs something. Food, up, etc.

yep, we are here. And DH is really upset with the lack of dada. 

[onyx]

Liam had like no vocabulary at this age. Seb know bye bye, mama, dada, and ba (bottle)

That's actually just kind of how it is from now on

[ashleymarie26]

The last 3-4 days she has totally blossomed with vocab- we now consistently have ball, dad, mom, more, dog, up.

I'm not sure if it just clicked for her or if I started noticing what she was trying to do more? Super fun either way.
