She's been picking up new words everyday - yesterday she went around saying "no way!" to everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words#post-1322835 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 14:00:30 +0000 Ree723 1322835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 18 months and very slow with saying words. She chatters all day long - not babbling repetitively, but clearly speaking a language all of her own devising, just not one anyone else can understand! The only clear words she uses regularly and correctly are:</p> <p>What's this<br /> What's that<br /> Yes</p> <p>Receptively, she's off the charts, but from the expressive end of things, we're a bit behind. Ah well, she's just stubborn and I have no doubt she will catch up soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words#post-1322791 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 13:47:09 +0000 dagret 1322791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: LOL at betch.

She says</p> <p>Daddy<br /> Momma<br /> Bella (our dog)<br /> Tickle tickle<br /> Cracker<br /> Milk<br /> Yes<br /> Done<br /> Stuck<br /> Please<br /> Mmmmm<br /> Hello/hi<br /> Bye<br /> Two, three<br /> What's this<br /> Here you go </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words#post-1322661 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 13:04:36 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1322661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L is one on Wednesday and has been saying many more words lately. so far she has:<br /> mama<br /> dada<br /> up<br /> this<br /> that<br /> baaaa (milk)<br /> hi<br /> bye<br /> gentle<br /> nana<br /> book<br /> yesssss<br /> betch (hopefully she's not talking about me) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words#post-1322647 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 12:59:25 +0000 mrskc 1322647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! So many words for 13-15 month range for some of you ! DS is almost 15 months and says mama, dada &amp; doggie (sometimes he says gogo, Chinese for dog) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words#post-1322617 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 12:51:12 +0000 littlecasita1122 1322617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 18 months and says about 15 words now. He will repeat a lot of words just once, but I don't count them until he says them consistently on his own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words#post-1322615 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 12:51:09 +0000 mediagirl 1322615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's better than what M had at that age!! :)</p> <p>She is slowly adding 1-2 words per week (or two weeks) now, just as she should be. I love her most recent words - apple and "peas" (aka: please). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words#post-1322605 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 12:48:59 +0000 wheres_c 1322605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow I am so impressed at the 13 and 14 mo speech! My LO is 13 mo and only consistently says mama and yum.<br /> @SugarplumsMom: my LO. Must speak the same language as yours because he says eh dah when pointing too... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words#post-1322315 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 11:03:24 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1322315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lorelei is at the stage where she says lots of funny stuff. She'll narrate when she cries; "Lorelei is crying because Ellie snatched that book from you." She told Mr. T the other day when he was pretending to cat nap on the floor; "Everyone in our house is awake now. No exceptions." Last night she started furiously scratching at the sheet. I asked her what she was doing and she grinned and said, "Lorelei is a badger. Lorelei is digging a den. Come. You may have a den also," and "dug" me a little hole. And when we were reading a book that showed an elephant calf nursing, I said, "What's something special that only mamas do with their babies?" After much deliberation, she said, "Mamas sleep with them." It's been lots of fun now that she can really talk about what she thinks and feels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words#post-1322295 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 10:59:24 +0000 LuLu Mom 1322295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 15 months old: </p> <p>Hi<br /> Bye<br /> Please<br /> Up<br /> Down<br /> Stop it<br /> Mommy<br /> Dada<br /> All Done<br /> More<br /> Shoe<br /> Puppy<br /> Julie (daycare lady)<br /> Come On<br /> Let’s Go<br /> Banana (nana)<br /> Claire (Daycare lady's daughter)<br /> MaMa<br /> PaPa<br /> Thank You<br /> Book<br /> Ball<br /> Toy<br /> Night<br /> Brrrr<br /> Cold<br /> No<br /> Yep<br /> Yeah<br /> Yes<br /> Kiki (Kinsley her friend)<br /> Fee-ly (finley our dog) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words#post-1322292 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 10:59:01 +0000 CraftyMom13 1322292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is a slow talker and at 15 months only says a handful of things.</p> <p>ilkies (Milkies)<br /> Ginki (Binki)<br /> Abc<br /> Baby<br /> Mum<br /> Dada</p> <p>DS was a really late talker.

I recognize a lot of those words from my German!</p> <p>My ped office isn't focused on word count, they focus on percentage understanding by strangers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words#post-1322108 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 10:22:28 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1322108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 18 months and she's a slow talker.

We're working on it!</p> <p>English:<br /> papa, mama, bye, hello, hi, chorgee (Curious George), het (hot), oh wow, mmm</p> <p>Swedish:<br /> baba (bada: bath), stumpor (strumpor: socks), hållo &amp; hej (hi), tovlor (stövlar: boots), teet (tittut: peek-a-boo), smutsig (dirty)</p> <p>Tagalog:<br /> lola (means grandma, but it's what she calls great-grandma)</p> <p>Her own language:<br /> eh dah (while pointing), boh (whenever I start Skype to call my mom), ...</p> <p>She hums/or what sounds more like humming than actual words:<br /> ABC, 123, Vad är det här? (What is this?), Hej på dig (another way of saying hi). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words#post-1322065 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 10:12:24 +0000 autumnlove 1322065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know but it is a lot these days.

Yesterday was "I talkin' you!" and "Listen-ta me!". She also started saying "have" this week. I guess we must say that to her a lot ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words#post-1322033 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 10:03:26 +0000 dagret 1322033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L is 11.5 months and says<br /> Mama<br /> Dada<br /> Dog<br /> Uh-Oh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words#post-1322032 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 10:03:17 +0000 loveisstrange 1322032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea. lol.
