Our youngest said "dada hi!" when DH went to get her out of her crib, around 6 or 7 mos!

Sometimes I think she knows the meaning of dada, but not sure.

He had 2 words until about 15 months, then it was like a switch and he really took off in picking up different words.

At 12 months, he started saying "truck" "up" and "uh oh" but didn't say much else. Now he's 2 and is never quiet. Mae on "when did your LO say their first word?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-first-word#post-2335738 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 13:19:14 +0000 Mae 2335738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Either 8 mo or not yet, depending on how you count! At 8 mo she started saying mamamamamama and shortly thereafter, dadadadadada. At almost 18 mo, that is still all she says! She does say them to mean us (she mostly only says them if one of us leaves the room then she cries at the stairs "mamamamamamamamamamama, etc"). But she never just says "mama" or "dada" and she won't say them on command nor when we ask "who am I? who is that?" (but if I say "where's mama" she'll point to me). So yea I dunno how much that really counts. Obv I'll be asking her ped at her appt in a few weeks about all this since she's a bit late with the talking by any measure.

Baba came soon after, no Mama until 15 months though! DD - 10 months, hat. She hasn't stopped talking since, at 19 months she's stringing 6 word sentences. My house is so noisy.

Uses it correctly, loves to say it all the time. 9 months--says dada when daddy walks in, but we're still not convinced she knows that is his name (more like it's the sound he is always saying to her!) Says mama when crying, but I think it's a coincidence that happens to stab me in the heart. Waved bye-bye and said, "buh" a few times, so I'm almost convinced she knows what it means! 2littlepumpkins on "when did your LO say their first word?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-first-word#post-2335603 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 12:01:07 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2335603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @sorrycharlie: dd said dada and baba (bottle)?around 6m then within the next few months said mama too but I don't count those as real words because I don't think she used them as real words. She said "duck" at nearly 12m (while pointing at a rubber duck.)

Mama came about 3 weeks later. At 14 months old, that's still all he says. Mama is only when he's upset. Otherwise it's dada all day, everyday!

He has slowly but steadily added new words since then. A started saying dog maybe around 10 months? And dada and occasionally Blake by 12 months. She didn't have any other words (including mama) until later - 15 months maybe? At almost 18 months she probably has 20 words or so. snowjewelz on "when did your LO say their first word?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-first-word#post-2335546 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 11:44:12 +0000 snowjewelz 2335546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ mama at like 7-8 month? Now at almost 11 months she can say prob up to like 5 words? mfa_lady on "when did your LO say their first word?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-first-word#post-2335539 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 11:42:37 +0000 mfa_lady 2335539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ E has been saying "Uh oh" for a good while now, maybe since 7ish months? She uses it correctly AND incorrectly, because she just likes to say it. Ha! Every now and then she'll also say her version of "thank you" (ka-ku), but not consistently. Everything else is just babbling--although I think she's close to having her "dadadadada" mean something. ;) yellowbird on "when did your LO say their first word?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-first-word#post-2335530 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 11:36:53 +0000 yellowbird 2335530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ A said bye bye at 9 months and clearly knew what it meant. She said mama and dada next around 10ish months. C doesn't babble as much as she did and he just screeches and makes dinosaur sounds at this point!

And he said "hi!" But obviously he never said it again! Lol. I think around 8-9 months he was saying dadadadadaaaa a lot! josina on "when did your LO say their first word?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-first-word#post-2335482 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 11:02:40 +0000 josina 2335482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO is 11 months now... he's been saying mama and da for a couple months I think? Now he is also saying 'dee' for deer and 'kee' for kitty but I don't know if I should count those as first words or not, lol. rachiecakes on "when did your LO say their first word?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-first-word#post-2335475 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 10:59:53 +0000 rachiecakes 2335475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @sorrycharlie: J's first word was around 7 months, "mama" - no one believed me either, so I posted a video of him saying it on Facebook, haha I must admit, I did coach him on 'mama' 24/7 :silly: sorrycharlie on "when did your LO say their first word?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-first-word#post-2335466 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 10:56:14 +0000 sorrycharlie 2335466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ my oldest said Mama VERY early - 6 months early. she said it every time she cried but very clearly - no one believed me! my second is 9.5 months and just screeches mainly..sometimes babbles but definitely no "words" yet. still waiting...!
