Speaking babies!

[kendy20]

so I noticed a few of our babies are starting to speak a little more! What word or words is your LO saying?

DD had been saying ma,maaam, and mama for about a month and then came the ooooooo's and ahhhhh's. Now she's saying dada! Only sad thing is now dada is the main thing she says and only says mama when she's crying  

[Deleted]

this one does all the babbles.. mama dada baba jaja etc but nothing on command and nothing regular, which is normal since 1 year is about the time they deliberately start saying words. he's being doing the above babbles since like.. sept though? so sometimes it seems like they are more deliberate but we can never get him to repeat anything :/

[buster]

Boob, dada, hi. When DD was 10 months old, she said "what's that?" about 500 times a day, but I can't imagine him doing that a month from now.

[becole]

Dada, hi, cat (dat), mama . In that order. He also signs for boob and food, and waves. This all happened (except dada, the milk sign, and hi) in the last 2 weeks, along with crawling. So language explosions happen all at once over here.

[ksyknelvr73]

Newp. Nothing over here. He babbles incoherently.

[microworm]

I wouldn't say they are words but he is doing all the babbles - baba, gaga, dada, mama, hi, aaahhh, oohhh, waahh, haaa, etc. Too cute.

[meggypoo1]

Just dada, baba, yaya. I think she is trying to say hi. When we say hi she softly with barely anything coming out says hi. We can't get her to say anything on demand yet though. One time she said hiccup but didn't say it again! I can't wait for mama and mean it. Sometimes when crying I think she sounds like she is saying mama!

[athn64]

Just babbling here. She mimics sometimes, but doesn't comprehend any of it yet.

[comicSans]

I hear all the sounds, but not much consistent. Mama comes out when she's upset. Hi, hey, yeah, and yay have all been there for a while. The bas started last week and the last 2 days everything had been ba ba ba and during meals she sounds like she's having a full on jibberish conversation. She's also been doing this weird back of the throat cckkkk and so many raspberries. She signs milk, but not really anything else, but waves and points. So much pointing and uh uh uh, usually at something across the room.

[miles]

Just babbles. Bababababa.

At 9 months, dd could say (with intent) mama, dada, baby, hi, and kitty. She had 50 words by a year.

I don't see this guy going that way. He's pretty good at giggling, though.

[lunabug924]

She says "hi" and waves. Babbles like crazy, dada, babababa, tata, lalala. She just started saying something like "mama", but only when she's upset.

This morning I was feeding her cereal and she turned her head and said "no". I don't know if it was deliberate since it's the first time I've heard it, but we'll see.

[microworm]

Oh and he does this cute thing where he says aaaaaaahhhh and then rapidly covers and uncovers his mouth with his hand to make a distinct sound. Hard to explain but if I do it, he'll repeat.

[flockofmoosen]

Babbling here. When upset she says Mama or Mom, and she just started saying Dada. She's been saying Bababa or Buh-buh for a little while, and we pretend she uses that sound to say Boobie and Amber (our dog), and baby, and anything else with B sounds. She makes sounds with Y, and H, too. Then the rest is just yelling random noises. And blowing bubbles.

She has been making the milk sign, too, but I'm still not confident that it's with intent. She waves, but only if she is in the mood to do it, and still won't do the more sign.

Well, my kid says "ah-boo" a lot. Which, according to google translate, means a number of different things in several languages. Basically the kid's a genius.

[haykay13]

DS says dadada, mamama, rahhh, babababa, hey, creepy whispers like he's trying to figure out how to say something and kissy noises. He doesn't really imitate sounds yet, but if we tap on a table he will copy the pattern sometimes.

Awesome! Good to know my kids a genius too- same with the Ah-boo sound

[jennybeans]

Babbling here. We get dadadadadada all the time. No mama yet and he doesn't use dada exclusively with daddy.

[IseeyouRN]

We just have a "hiiiieeeee" over here. He also high fives...

[Deleted]

Mostly babbles. But he has said mama a few times and dada as well. But only when we are least expecting it and never repeats it.

Are you sure your kid isn't an illegal immigrant?

[activebaby]

Mom mom mama baba ha bab and some dadadada. I don't see any of these having actual meaning. He also waves his hand when holding a toy, but not when I ask him or show him I'm so proud of him. I'm allowed to be proud as a mom He can also stand for a few seconds and climbs on things (has no idea he would fall if I didn't catch him)

[Deleted]

Mamama a lot. Now he's been doing a clearing his throat sound. It sounds like he's going to get a raw throat soon, but it doesn't stop him.

[scotty138]

DS loves to talk. He doesn't care to crawl or stand, but talks all day long. He says mama when he's hungry, buh-bye when he waves, says dig (dog), and says dada all day long. He makes a lot of other noises, but I don't think he means anything yet.

[luckynumbers]

becole - Is there any particular method you're using in regards to signs? I have been trying to get DD to sign for milk since 6 months, but maybe I'm not doing it right. I always sign it to her when I give her the boob, and we practice in the mirror a lot (because it's the only way I can hold her attention).

I am just getting really tired of being yelled at for the boob.

[jennyinheaven]

Babbling, lots of Dad, and once in awhile she does this weird crip keeper voice while making sounds

[Deleted]

Anyone else have complainers? When DS gets mad about something, he'll walk around for about 5 minutes afterwards and just babble with this angry "can you believe they did that?" look on his face. Bla jla jla jla. It's hard not to laugh... haha.

luckynumbers Funny story with the signs. The daycare worker was doing the sign for milk when she would give him his bottle or sippy cup and eat when he would get solids. She didn't think they were picking it up. I had no idea she was teaching him, so when he was waving his fist at me, I had no idea what he was doing. He would do it when eating but I didn't understand. I asked the teacher- she says, oh yeah that's for milk or his cup. So poor thing was signing to me for weeks before I figured it out. Now he gives the sign, I nurse or give his sippy cup of water, depending, and he smiles like-you get it!!

[kat8805]

We have Hey, Hi, and Boobah.

[Deleted]

Lots of dada an now da-DUH! Ya ya, cat, hi, and hey. Mom and mama a couple times in the last couple days. Started nana today, but I'm not telling her nana though lol!

[yvanehtnioj]

He says "da! a-da!" when he's playing or excited. He says "dadadada" and has even said dada while looking at MH but I don't think he's knowing what it means. He also mimics "hi" and said "duh" one day when we were trying to get him to say duck. and he says "mamamamamama" when he's sad or crying. cool. dad = fun and mom = i need something
