Lots of two and three word sentences too, and she's started referring to herself in the third person lately. She's crazy on her verbal stuff like those kids who walk at nine months. </p> <p>She also JUST started walking, and is slow on her other motor skills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-can-your-toddler-say#post-552670 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:44:49 +0000 Mrs. Pen 552670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is 11 months and says "mommom" and "dadad" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-can-your-toddler-say#post-552658 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:32:52 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 552658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: True story! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-can-your-toddler-say#post-552654 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:31:55 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 552654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chloe is 15 months, and can say close to 20 words and phrases.

M and H love their food!</p> <p>Like momma like child? You and I have so many odd similarities, so it makes sense that the next generation does too! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-can-your-toddler-say#post-552645 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:25:37 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 552645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: Our kids are so eerily similar with respect to milestones except that your daughter was the whole package from the get go (fine motor, gross motor and speech).</p> <p>I forgot to say that M signs "more". Surprise surprise on that one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-can-your-toddler-say#post-552639 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:24:12 +0000 prettylizy 552639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 10.5 months and says ahhhhdadadadada all day long, but she doesn't equate it to DH yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-can-your-toddler-say#post-552625 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:19:02 +0000 Honeybee 552625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Lol, DS finally started saying mama and dada... and that's it. He did sign "eat" this weekend for the first time, though!</p> <p>ETA: He doesn't say it to us, just babbles mama and dada. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-can-your-toddler-say#post-552465 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:14:08 +0000 StbHisMrs 552465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maddy is 16 months old, she can say -<br /> dadda, mama, buh bye, hello, hi, go, cracker, binky, brother, bath, dog, apple, milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-can-your-toddler-say#post-552460 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:13:28 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 552460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M. is 11 months and only has one word, "dog". She'll get there eventually :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-can-your-toddler-say#post-552455 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:12:10 +0000 sandy 552455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is almost 15 months and for the past month or two she's been adding new words (she could say 2-3 words around 12 months but didn't talk a lot). She started wakling at 14.5 moths but was talking more before she started walking and kind of stopped talking as much for a week or two but now she's back at it. She can say the following consistently:</p> <p>Hi<br /> Bye bye<br /> Dada<br /> Nee (when she wants her bunny lovey)<br /> Go<br /> Car<br /> Cheese<br /> Corn<br /> Uh oh<br /> Owl (this was one of her first words and it's sooo cute when she says it)<br /> Cat<br /> Hot dog<br /> Up<br /> Ball (also one of her first words and so cute when she says it)<br /> Eye (she says this when she brings us her dr. Seuss eye book)<br /> Apple<br /> "A" for the letter a (she has wooden letters)</p> <p>She can other words but isn't consistent with them - mama (very rare), sheep, dog, cow, hippo, toast</p> <p>She has consistent sounds for things but can't say the words, like "abc" for her abc book, elephant (she makes the same sound when she goes to get her elephant stuffed animal). </p> <p>It's so crazy how they just start understanding and talking more and more everyday</p> <p>ETA: the funniest word she says is sock which she pronounces "gock" but sometimes comes out cock...cracks us up everytime. She says it when we put on her socks and when we fold laundry and he tries to put on her dad's socks. She also says shoes (also freaking cute the way she draws out the word) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-can-your-toddler-say#post-552324 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 14:12:24 +0000 Mrs. Train 552324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lilly is 15 months. She says mama, dada, papa, grandpa, grandma, Grammy, uncle ryan, dog, cat, bark, jump, five, water, James, brother. Think there are a few more but I can't think of them. These words also aren't perfect. It's a jumbled toddle version of the word like grandma sounds like Nama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-can-your-toddler-say#post-552233 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 13:26:41 +0000 SAHM0811 552233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 19 months and says 40+ words I think. It's great because my eldest had a speech delay. It's nice having an early talker!</p> <p>mama, papa, big sister's name, grandma, yeye, baby, cousin's name, hi, hello, bye</p> <p>rice, apple, strawberries, blueberries, grapes, bread, more, eat, milk, water</p> <p>read, book, elmo, dora, dog, cat (hello kitty), baba (brown bear), iPad, sticker</p> <p>door, open, bath, car, home, bowl, plate, slide, yeah, no, ball</p> <p>three, eight, nine (she tries to count with me and those are her favorite numbers to say)</p> <p>she also says some phrases like "bye so-and-so", "clean up" and "i win!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-can-your-toddler-say#post-552068 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 12:19:35 +0000 T-Mom 552068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think DS has about 25 words at 17 months. I know he's hitting the last wonder week too, so his understanding of things has grown a lot too recently. I expect an explosion of words in the coming months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-can-your-toddler-say#post-552014 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 11:55:59 +0000 LivsMama 552014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Liv is 19 months and says hi, hey, oh no!, Brutus (our Dog,) baby, mama, dada, daddy, whats that? (asss-dat?,) whatcha got?, down, dog, kitty, hey dog!, Santa (an-taaaa,) papa, I did it!, birdie, and makes noses for cow, pig, and monkey. Most of them are "liv speak" aka not crystal clear, but she says them consistently and with purpose. She understands EVERYTHING though., Its amazing what they understand!</p> <p>ETA - oh, and shes really REALLY good at shaking her head and saying "no" lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-can-your-toddler-say#post-552005 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 11:51:38 +0000 Mrsbells 552005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: haha I think this is fairly common, a lot of my friends have kids that use made up words for pacifier and milk </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-can-your-toddler-say#post-551982 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 11:42:58 +0000 rachiecakes 551982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: he says other words for things, too. he has this weird teether/pacifier that's rubber and nubby that he calls "bahka-bahka" ...? um ok </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-can-your-toddler-say#post-551924 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 11:20:16 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 551924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's 12.5 months and has no words. Well, she says mama, dada, buh-bye and da-doh (not sure what it means, but she says it a lot) but she doesn't say them to us so I can't tell if that's considered a word, or just her babbling. </p> <p>@rachiecakes: Same here - she understands all sorts of things, but just doesn't talk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-can-your-toddler-say#post-551864 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 10:52:40 +0000 rachiecakes 551864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: woah, that's a lot of words!<br /> DS was an early walker (10ish months?) but only has three words - mama, dada and poop.<br /> I know he understands words though, I'll ask him to bring me certain items and he does get the correct ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-can-your-toddler-say#post-551835 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 10:41:42 +0000 autumnlove 551835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 13 months and she can say mama, dada, whoa, ball, bubbles, oh no, one, two and dog! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-can-your-toddler-say#post-551830 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 10:39:20 +0000 Mrs. Bee 551830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Olive is 16 months. She's had the same 5 words for the past couple of months -- mama, dada &amp; daddy, hi, wow, uh oh. I don't really care she's not walking... talking is the milestone that is the most fun! (Until they turn 3 and start talking back).</p> <p>How old is your toddler and how many words can they say? </p>
