how old was your dc when they said their 1st word? what was it?

Re: how old was your dc when they said their 1st word?

The twins were very early talkers..much to my amazement as well as their pediatricians...at 6 months they had 5 words...mama, dada, hi, hat, & light. They continue, to this day, to have exceptional vocabularies...I just wish they were exceptional students..unfortunitely they only make the honor roll in socializing!!!

Ariel said her first word at 10 months..light.

Re: how old was your dc when they said their 1st word?

I guess her first word was "Hunter" which is the IL's dog (could it have been Dada or Mama?? nooo )

That was around 9 months I think but only recently (14 months) has she really come out with anything "clear"

Re: how old was your dc when they said their 1st word?

Yesterday i was showing my dd her bottle and asking if she wanted and she was bouncing so hard in the bouncer chair and soo excitted and wanted that bottle and she screamed "baaa baaa".. Shes only 4 months so im sure it was just a coincidence.. but i got excitted, she never made that sound before.. of course me being her mom i think shes a pure genious..

6 months - dada

now at 10.5, she says dada, mama, baba, hi, bye and sometimes nana and pop-pop

Ben is 7 mos and babbles a LOT! Sometimes we hear mama, baba, dada, and goo but we know it's just our wishful thinking he actually means to say it.

Same here Cindy! Lots of babbly talk but no words...it's ok, we'll hear it

Re: how old was your dc when they said their 1st word?

Lots of babble here too.

Sometimes a mama. But I think he just gets disctracted and meant to say mamamamamamamamamamama.

Re: how old was your dc when they said their 1st word?

But the mama, dada, gaga , goo etc are not words. They arent used correctly, its just babble.

a 6, 7, 8 month old cannot repeat a word and understand what it means.

I think you mean a real word and correctly right?

Mama was her first word.... I wanna say maybe 6 months?

Re: how old was your dc when they said their 1st word?

Speech is one of those things where there is a broad spectrum of what the norm is....

Some children speak earlier than others and it does not mean that these children are any more inteligent that babies that dont utter a "real" word until 18 months.

My girls were early talkers. They knew what they were saying as did we. (If my ex would release the video I would love to post them talking at this age but he wont give it to me ) They are, at 9 years old, average students..they receive AIS services for reading and are monitored in math. They continue to have huge vocabularies and are very well spoken etc...but they are just average kids.

My eldest daughter uttered her first word at 10 months. Her vocabulary continued to grow normally through the first couple of years with no speech delay. It wasnt until language became more complex that we saw an issue with her language skills. She is at 14 a remarkable girl...but she still struggles with her language skills.

Just remember that while some children are focusing on there debating skills others are working on there football careers!!!

Besides mama and dada, first word was duck abot about 9 -10 months.
