Do we have a first word?

[Deleted]

First word outside of "mama" & "dada" sounds might be "Stop". Carter looks at his big brother, points at him with serious eyes, & says "top". He's done it a couple times to me now. Pretty sure he's saying "stop." It was just after his big brother was picking on him. Boy, & I thought Colton was a handful. The personality is strong with this one!

[ssm]

awww! At least he is great about communicating with his brother that he should stop picking on him.

Tucker has yet to say mama and dada, but he says "dog" pretty good. He can't get the G all the way. But he will look at and point to our dog and MILs dogs and say the word. His puppy brother clearly ranks pretty high on his list.

That's so sweet!  I could have sworn Carter was saying "Lola" a  couple times referring to our dog, but I've chaulked that up to coincidental sounds. LOL Carter & his older 4-legged sister Lola are becoming quite close. She never let my oldest get near her, & still doesn't care for him, but she lets Carter hug her & pull on her & she licks him whenever she can. It's a cute relationship.

The feelings between Tucker and Diesel aren't mutual lol. Diesel definitely thinks Tucker is annoying, but he is still very good with him. He's never snapped at him or been rough. But Tucker worships him! I would be chopped liver if Diesel loved Tucker like Tucker loves Him haha.

DD pretty much calls everything Dada and she says "uh oh". That's all I got. She does sign "more" and "all done".

[mama2a]

DD was saying "mama" and "dada" around 6months, but I never really knew if she was saying words or just babbling. Her first word was "uh oh!" which is still adorable. She also says, "dank you" which is equally cute! She says other words sometimes but they're inconsistent and sometimes she's just repeating what we say so I don't think that really counts.

Julia says daddy a lot and mama occasionally but it's very random and I don't know that it's really associated with us. She has been saying "Hi" since she was @ 10 months, and she definitely says that at the correct times. She recently started saying "No", and it is her response for everything whether she means it or not.

I wish Haden would talk.

I continually remind myself not to worry. If he still has zero words at his 15-month appointment though I think I'll at least ask the doc. about it.

cbowl, Carter has not gotten into the sign language as I had hoped.. he's been a big screamer when it comes to any emotion or need. My oldest caught on quickly using "milk", "more", "eat" & "drink".

I've been trying to get him to say "uh oh" just because it is just so damn cute to hear a toddler say those words! Sometimes I throw on a "sketti oh's" to see if he will start that.

DD has been shaking her head "no" for the past month or two, but same thing--she does it in response to a question or when there is an unwanted behavior she wants stopped (like having her nose wiped). Sometimes I think she just shakes her head even if she means "yes".

DS picked up a new word here recently - "Up" it is the cutest. he comes up to you, grabs your legs and goes "UH uuh" occassionally he does get the p sound. he is just determined to communicate with you. The look on his face is adorable. otherwise, he says uhoh, mama, and will sometimes sign please.

DS1 didnt' really start talking until he was 18months-2.  I kept asking the pedi about it at every appt, and the pedi said it was normal.  At 2.5, DS1 exploded with language and now is a regular chatterbox. 
LO doesn't really talk yet but he sure is good with the pointing and grunting.

Thanks I just keep trying to remind myself that ^^^ that is common, too. Particularly for boys, from what I read/hear/etc. I'm sure once he finally starts talking I'll be wandering around talking about how he never shuts up lol

[mcncheese]

everything... I mean EVERYTHING is dada!

But she also says "Hey"

Yes - if I can guarantee anything in your future... this is it. My 3 yo, I swear, was shooting for a word quota he needed to reach yesterday. 

But I kinda remember that happening with him too. He went from not much to just having a vocabulary explosion, but his was around 18 mo.

DD still talks gibberish for the most part, but she'll throw in a few "uh-oh's" or "heeeeyyyy" every once in a while. It's funny because when she says "hey", she drags the word on. She's also been saying "dot" which could either mean dog or dad at this point. I'm not even sure.

[mcncheese]

Sarah also says "dis" and "dat" which I am assuming is this or that...

[pearsforpoops]

Haden is learning his "b" sounds right now. He says "bay-beeeeeeeeeeee" with the long, drawn-out second syllable. I'm 100% certain he's not really saying "baby" but I like to pretend he is so I say it back to him and say "yes YOU'RE the bay-beeeeeeeee!"

It brings me all the joy.

[Lrachelle80]

She babbles the shit out of things but no real words yet, I don't think. She has the sounds to say a bunch of words - she babbles mama and dada and baba and tata. She might have said dog and meant it. It's hard to say still. I'm not ready to call it yet.

[Deleted]

Let's see: Dada, dad, DAD!, dadadadadadadad, dadadad, D-AD!
momma when tired, and can't tell if it's duck or dog, but something that sounds like that that she screams to the dog and her rubber duckies
