How many words?

[smilingeyes]

How many words does your LO say? 

So far, my DD only says a few and I feel like at 16 months she should know more. 

She definitely responds to commands. "Go get your water", "Give that to Mommy" (some object she's not supposed to have), "Give kisses". She blows kisses, waves, claps, etc. So, no concerns there. Just her speech really.

As far as words, she only says: 

Dada
Dad
Tat (Cat)
Da (Dog)
& she only says Mama in a whiney voice when she's crying at night and that hasn't happened in a while.

I can't think of anything else. 

How about you guys?

[happymama]

Dada, Daddy
Mama
Baba
Ba (ball)
Gog (dog)
Bu (book)
Bye Bye
Bebbie (Veggie tales)

She has also been saying something that sounds like "thank you" when we give her something. Lots of babbling and pointing, but so far I think this is the majority of "words" she uses. She also used to say hi, but doesn't really say it anymore.

She understands most of what we say to her and follows directions that we give her.

[sugarkissed]

Still not many words here either. Until a couple of weeks ago she was not speaking at all. Right now she says:

Uh-oh
Up
No
And I think she's been trying to say "Thank you" which is adorable.

She babbles non-stop and understands commands, just not many real words yet.

[salemkitty]

Sometimes he will only say something once ( kitty, ball)
Sometimes he will say something a lot then stop (thank you, dada, bye bye)
Now he says hi, that (dat), mama, milk (mill mill), uh uh (he's trying for upon but can't quite do it)
I think he has been saying Mickey mouse but I can't tell

He does not follow directions well and that worries me.

[marley629]

Up until this past week, his only words were mama/papa/dada. Now he's like a sponge out of nowhere. These are the words I have kept track of that he has said in the correct context.
Mama
Dada
Papa
Up
Woah
Oh shit.
Book
Poop
Shoes
Socks
Ball
Yes
This

[smilingeyes]

sugarkissed - DD babbles non-stop too. I have to admit, I will miss her baby babble. It is the cutest thing ever. She has genuine conversations with you, just in her own language, lol.

marley629 - LMAO. "Oh shit". Hahaha, that gave me a good laugh!

I forgot to add - DD says "Woooooow" too. It's pretty stinkin cute.

DS says...

Lots of babbling to people and quietly to himself when he is playing.
Momma, ma
Dada
Yaya- still figuring out what this means
Brud- bird
Dawg - either dog or the dog's name Doug

[legitsince86]

Mama
Dada
Uh oh
No
Hi
Bye
Up
Doggie
Kitty
Ree (read)
Ball
Unno (I don't know)
Woof

(Those are just off the top of my head)

She does follow directions well (except for eating pet food and pulling tails) she can also go get stuff from another room if I ask her. She still babbles to us and moreso when she reads aloud.

[legitsince86]

marley629 I think I would die laughing everytime if LO said that.

[princessvespa1]

Mama
Dads
Papa
Nana
Grandpa
Bubble
Uh oh
Bye bye
Good
Hi
Ma (more)
Ni ni (night night)
All done
Hat

Ball
Bee (bear)
Boo (book)

I counted for her baby book at 15 months and she had close to 50. I couldn't even count now she talks nonstop and repeats everything. This week she started using 2 word combos (mama help, bye bye dada). She also says I love you but it's not clear (but it's beautiful and adorable). I've got a chatty little lady.

This is exactly were we are at, but our LO says dada, bye, hi, uh oh, go (when Frozen is on), and baba (bottle). She sings go to Let it Go but no mama, is that bad? The pedi isn't worried because she clearly understands.

We were out at a dinner and MIL was watching J..we got a text saying "we need to talk..J spilt his drink and very loud and clearly said "oh shit". Lol. It is now his favorite phrase...it's so hard not to laugh at him.

[amy11401]

I have tried to keep a running list of words that LO says but it I am starting to loose track because his vocabulary has really grown the past couple of weeks. He says somewhere between 30-40 words. He also understands many directions when he chooses to! In addition to real words he babbles alot too.

[mommabakes]

She babbles NON stop, and followed directions great,but as far as actual words...
Puppy
Kitty Cat
Hello
Hi
Up
Yes
Please
Uh Oh
Momma
Baby
Eye
Teeth
Bye Bye
And about 10 different animal sounds.

[lilqt3929]

LO says:
Mom, momma
Daddy
doggy
Kitty
Ball
Belly
No
Tickle-tickle
Meow
Woof-woof
Moo
Along with a TON of babble.

She has been mimicking us a lot the last week or so but she hasn't said any new words in a few weeks. I'm hoping one day it just clicks and she just wakes up and decides to start saying some more words. Right now everything is Daddy, men in her books, men at the grocery store or on tv. Its quite funny and gives the people she says it to a good laugh.


ETA: LO says the above words in the correct context for the most part (except daddy-although she says daddy to DH). She also follows simple directions very well and shakes her head yes and no.

I'm DYING. That is hilarious. My husband just said last week that he needs to stop swearing so much in front of J (I do too, but my husband is worse about it) because he's going to say something to one if the grandmas.

J clearly understands what we're saying and responds to requests. He's also clearly trying to say more words. So far we have:

Dada
Ba (ball)
Duh (dog)
Yesh (yes)
Uh oh
Cock (clock - I know, kind of unfortunate)
Ca (cat)
Sock


Mama only happens when he cries. But if we ask him to point to mama, daddy or J he can do it, so he definitely understands.

[jlprybs927]

That is hilarious marley629!! D says the following:

mama
dada or da
shoes
anee (again)
kiyee (kitty)
Shaba (sherbear her grandma)
juice
whoa
ball
fsssh (fish for gold fish)
woof (for dog)
buh bye
book

she can sign more and please. She understands commands and can follow them, WHEN she wants She also hilariously holds her arms/hands up at her sides as if to say, "What/I don't know?"
