mcp6286 A doesn't have any words beyond mama, dada, bobo(dogs name) and hey. He's never repeated a word besides those for me. He does follow directions like a champ though: Asking him to bring me things, pick things up, etc.
musicfrk2002 I got A's stride rites at Once Upon a Child and I had to get the strappy more sandal looking ones to fit his foot. I had a pair of more regular shoe type stride rites that I had to slide/shove his foot into and they didn't work at all.
mcp6286 The language norms you posted sound accurate to me, but an expectation of 10+ words at 12 months does not fall under those norms right? 10+ meaningful words at 12 months sounds like a lot to me!

No, my sibs and I were early talkers. My mom said 5 words by 15 months is "average" in her experience.
ETA: that still seemed high to me but I will report back after the qualified early interventionist gives us feedback
Kristykristyleeleebudders @jemomma Glad to hear your reactions. I wasn't sure if I was just being harsh because I have a long standing history of disliking her. Especially because a bunch of people "liked" it and a few commented on it supporting her statement.
I would FREAK out on anyone if they called G sexy. That is my sweet little baby girl. HELL NO.
Unfortunately I cannot defriend her from social media, and she will always be in my life because I'm related to her by marriage.
alayne926 For sure, I removed her from my newsfeed a few years ago on Facebook! This was definitely not her first eye-opening post. I just wonder why no one else seems to be WTFing when she does. This was an Instagram post though, I don't think there's a way to stop seeing posts without unfollowing her.
alayne926 Right, but it's something she would notice. I guarantee it. She once went to H accusing me of unfriending her from Facebook. Which I absolutely 100% did not do. And even said something to the effect of, well even if she didn't unfriend me, she didn't even notice we weren't FB friends anymore!
Anyways, it turned into a big ridiculous thing that I don't even want to rehash...intent of my original post was just to be like, "I'm WTFing at this, I'm not alone right?"

That's good to hear budders I haven't really thought much about his verbal skills since his comprehensive skills are so good, but it does worry me sometimes to see that other's LO's have more words.

I've mentioned this before on here, but DS had very little vocabulary skills before the age of two. I brought it up at his two year appt but my doctor wasn't too worried so long as he understood us and we started noticing a change. It wasn't long after that it was constant progression!
Obviously it's up to the individual kid and what their medical professionals think but that's my anecdote. DD doesn't try to talk a lot yet either and because of DS it hasn't crossed my mind a lot.

I got the top deck stained during A's morning nap. Caulked the bathroom sink. Then we washed and put the 'new to us' climber together. That was a bitch. 6 pieces of plastic should not be that hard to get together. Now I'm trying to A to eat anything while I have a cider to celebrate what a successful day I've had by 2. I think I'm done for the week.

DD1 was the same, barely spoke until a bit after 2. At her 18 month appointment we were referred to a speech therapist. We had B shortly after so speech therapy was put on hold, but one day she just started talking non-stop and hasn't been quiet since. I stressed at the time but there was obviously no need. I'm not at all concerned about the fact that B doesn't say much yet.

You guys are making me feel better! Leave it to my mother to get me all stressed about nothing. The early interventionist and I are talking in detail tomorrow but she said in her email that overall, H has many wonderful speech-language behaviors and her concern is very minimal. Yay!
Have any of you ladies ever attended the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade?
Yes. If I'm being honest...HORRIBLE, cold and miserable experience. We had a hard time seeing the parade through the crowd even though we got there at 3 AM to stake out a spot. Also no bathrooms for about 10 hours. It's a big pass if you ask me. Sorry, I know that probably not what you wanted to hear.
belle0720, DH thought about going to NYC this year for Thanksgiving, if family doesn't come visit. Regardless of the parade, NYC that time of year is the best.
mcp6286 Also wondering why your mom thinks your LO has a speech delay? I feel like they are so young still to worry about that! My sister keeps asking if G is saying any sentences or more words because our friend's daughter who is 6 weeks older than G says "What's that?" all of the time and repeats things more than G does. Idk why but it gets on my nerves every time my sister asks about it!
G mostly just jibber jabbers. She has maybe a handful of "words" that she says regularly (mama, dada, hey, yeah?) and then she'll randomly repeat a word we say in the moment and then never say it again. We've been trying to get her to say milk, but she prefers to pull at the neckline of my shirt, poke my boobs over and over and nod at me with a huge grin on her face LOL.
C does the same thing. She says that a lot and things like mom, dada, hi, up and my favorite ohhhhh. She will randomly parrot things that we say like drink and milk and she says somethin that sounds alarmingly like oh shit!

So I have no clue how many words kids are supposed to be saying by what age. I have seen how comparing drove my other mom friends nuts and I really try not to do that. I try to teach C whatever I can, rely on teachers and her dr to tell me if there are any concerns. Is that bad? That I don't pay attention to milestones?
I'm trying to take her cues. For example, she's been very interested in following me to the potty and flushing so we bought her a little potty and she sits while I sit and then closed the lid like we do on the big potty.
I just don't want to freak out over things I don't need to freak out over.

V's most frequent babble sounds exactly like "shit". He says it ALL THE TIME. We're not sure what he's actually trying to say, but there's a good chance it actually is shit.
H and I are the worst at not swearing around DS. So far we haven't gotten anything out of him resembling swear words, but I'm waiting for the day to come.
