So I know it's very very early, and trust me my DS has been late to the party on some other development moments, but he currently says a very distinct "mama" and also says "hi!" (Though on that account I am reasonably he's just mimicking me, not really spontaneously generating the word) even the Pediatrician got a "hi!" And was impressed. (Am I being a pompous new mom here or WHAT?!)
I guess my thread topic here is, have our darling chatter boxes starting making words or almost-words yet? Can you tell what their first word is going to be yet? Also is anyone getting a "d" sound yet cause I haven't heard it yet at all.
I know development is REALLY widespread on this so I'm sorry if this thread is too early

I just posted in spam that I'm realizing this may be a bad idea thread. I'm sorry if this turns into something that hurts someone's feelings by comparing
Also, my grandparents were telling me yesterday that while my mom couldn't really talk at 18 months, she could say waxahachie. And everyone thought it was hilarious.
I have a video where LO definitely makes the sound "ma!" while looking right at me. I told H it was LO's first word. Of course, LO also licked his hand and probably peed on himself during the video too, so, uh, yeah. Whatever, I'm not budging.
Is it bad that I couldn't tell you what DD's first word was? I also couldn't tell you when she first started walking. I only know the first time she rolled over because I wrote it down. Great mom over here.
DD does a "muuuh" sound when she's really upset and crying, which just breaks my heart more when she goes muh-muh, cuz it's close to mama.
But other than that, nah, she just coos and smiles still.
Oh yeah, my kid doesn't stare lovingly into my eyes and softy murmur 'mama'. He screams it at me when I'm washing dishes and he feels neglected or when he's fussy. Maaaaaah maaaaa
Mine is the same as dacora. She will yell a mom or mama sound when crying. DH and I joke that we won't know when she says it for real. Consonant wise she really only has ma and ga sounds down. She's done hi and no once apiece mimicking me, but never intentionally or again.

DD mimics my saying "oh yeah?" (I said it more than I realized every time she'd babble a story to me.) I also swear she says "aghee" (again) every time I blow raspberries since she loves the sound. I don't think they actually count as a first word though. I guess I'm picky lol

Yeahhhhh I'm going to be the party pooper here and tell you that you're baby is not actually saying anything, though it may sound like he is. Babies don't even conceptually understand most language until closer to 6 months (and even then it's only really important words). First words usually come around 8 months.

I am under no delusion that he's sitting there thinking "hmmm, I need to talk to the lady with the milk, what was her name again....?" But yeah I guess perhaps I misrepresented that.
I got the Rosetta Stone for baby & that's working well for us. It'll take me about as long to learn baby as it will her to learn English, but that's what you do for love!
I think my baby model is broken. She only speaks bat in frequencies too high for human detection.
sometimes DD squeals so loud it scares the shit out of her.
I love watching her gear up for it. She tales a deep breath and let's air out slowly until she hears herself and then squirrels even louder with excitement. The funniest part is when she concentrates so hard and tries to exert so much control that her little arms start shaking.

Omg, totes thought you were serious until I read the spam thread. I guess bc there are "my baby can read" programs out there (that I personally roll my eyes at)...
jensoprano82 it's cool that your baby will make sounds like that. Annie will coo once in a while but not much. Vocalizations are fun especially when they start getting more complex!
On a personal note DD1 needed speech therapy starting around 20 months so I hope that DD2 will be okay in that regard. I guess we'll have to see. She seems pretty quiet (content, easy-going) by nature just like DD1...

Now I'm rambling and will be going to bed.
He's gonna be a chatterbox. I totally realize its not real words, but it still make me warm and fuzzy. I'm sorry to hear abut DD1, I have a niece who is 23 months and barely has "mama" and "dad" under her belt. She may be heading that way too but my brother and sister in law are doing a great job not getting overly worried too early.
