She started walking at 17 months and that's when the talking really started taking off too. She was getting a word a day for awhile..... until she learned "no." then she stopped with that one because she liked it so much, she just wants to use it all the time and no other words. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-have-a-language-explosion#post-552374 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 14:30:07 +0000 sarac 552374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was a very early talker, very late walker. She started using about 5 words at 12 months, and really exploded after that. She just started walking right before 16 months. She has about 100 words now at 17 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-have-a-language-explosion#post-552300 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 14:01:41 +0000 Maysprout 552300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No language explosion when she started walking . She has a normal vocab for 20 months but it's been very gradual, she does seem to be trying to imitate sounds more and more recently so maybe an explosion will happen sometime soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-have-a-language-explosion#post-552244 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 13:32:07 +0000 SAHM0811 552244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a word explosion with DD 2 at 15 months. She started walking at 12.5 months... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-have-a-language-explosion#post-551948 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 11:28:55 +0000 mrs. wagon 551948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably right around age 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-have-a-language-explosion#post-551945 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 11:27:26 +0000 rachiecakes 551945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>still waiting... (13 months) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-have-a-language-explosion#post-551932 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 11:24:20 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 551932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm waiting for this to happen!! Actually, I don't even need a word explosion.. .I'll just be happy with mama :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-have-a-language-explosion#post-551834 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 10:41:06 +0000 Honeybee 551834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm, DD was walking at 10 months, and though she signed, she didn't really start talking until 12 months. I'd say she had a verbal explosion around 15/16 months where she started saying a lot of words, and then another one at 21 months, when she started talking in full sentences. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-have-a-language-explosion#post-551824 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 10:36:03 +0000 Mrs. Bee 551824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think 18 months was the turning point where Charlie was learning a new word every single day. He already had about 40 words that he acquired slowly over 6 months, but 18 months is when the real explosion happened. He started walking at 13 months and most babies that are walking have little or no words in my experience! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-have-a-language-explosion#post-551809 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 10:28:06 +0000 mynoahbear 551809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 13months and has been walking for a month now. She only says dada for daddy, so we're still waiting for a word explosion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-have-a-language-explosion#post-551808 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 10:27:42 +0000 brownie 551808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @sloaneandpuffy. Walking at 12 months language explosion at 20 months. Still doesn't talk great but the speech therapist that comes to his class says he is fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-have-a-language-explosion#post-551806 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 10:27:28 +0000 Sammyfab 551806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: yeesh...I feel the same way! My LO likes standing but has no desire to walk. Plus, at 11 months he just started babbling!</p> <p>I think there's a huge language explosion at 18 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-have-a-language-explosion#post-551801 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 10:24:54 +0000 mamimami 551801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son walked at 12 months and had a major language explosion at 21 months (repeating, sentences, vocab, etc) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-have-a-language-explosion#post-551797 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 10:23:53 +0000 autumnlove 551797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Yeah, my LO cruises but she is lazy and prefers crawling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-have-a-language-explosion#post-551781 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 10:16:22 +0000 prettylizy 551781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If that is the case then it's never going to happen! lol! LO barely pulls up and has NO interest in standing for long periods of time or walking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-have-a-language-explosion#post-551778 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 10:15:20 +0000 autumnlove 551778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my LO's daycare teachers told me babies really start communicating with words when they start walking.</p> <p>Was this true for your LO? </p>
