He understands things like "mama's car" but will just point at it and say "mama". He does say "all done" and "sit down", but won't say things like, "I do" or "dada do". Hoping that comes soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-stringing-words-together#post-1672814 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 11:42:31 +0000 NovBaby1112 1672814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She started saying 2 word phrases "all done, "bye mama", "where'd go?" etc, around 15-16 months....now at 18.5 months she is starting to say more and more phrases and 3 word sentences.."i go side (outside)", "where'd daddy go?" "bye bye in car", "rock a bye baby" etc. One of her fav phrases lately is "why? I guess!" lol, no clue where she learned that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-stringing-words-together#post-1672483 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 09:38:54 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1672483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She first started coupling words around 14-15 months. At 16 months she's still just using a few two word phrases. "More ___" "Push it" "Thank you" "Hi Dada". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-stringing-words-together#post-1672405 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 09:14:57 +0000 LuLu Mom 1672405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 15 months, she's now 20 months and she speaks in 3-6 word sentences. She's always been slightly advanced with her verbal skills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-stringing-words-together#post-1672047 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 00:32:12 +0000 Running Elley 1672047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably around 17 months. He's almost 20 months now and does 3-4 word sentences frequently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-stringing-words-together#post-1672040 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 00:03:10 +0000 sunny 1672040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 21 months and just said her first 3 word sentence: "no touchie daddy!" when he was trying to sit her down on the change table and she didn't want to sit! I'm so proud :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-stringing-words-together#post-1671962 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 21:57:00 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1671962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little after the two year mark? Now we're getting almost full sentences - which are still pretty much like "Momma please more moo juice". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-stringing-words-together#post-1671960 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 21:53:52 +0000 lemondrop 1671960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 2 years he started stringing two words together. </p> <p>Now at almost 2 1/2 he's doing 3 words at times. Talking isn't his big strength, he is more physically inclined but getting better at talking. No concerns here, it's just the way he is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-stringing-words-together#post-1671882 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 20:56:23 +0000 Applesandbananas 1671882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around a year he added dada to everything, like "hi dada, no dada, nana (banana) dada, nono dada, baba (sippy) dada" but he doesn't get that dada means daddy (any person is dada). That's the only combination he'll do (he's 14m now). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-stringing-words-together#post-1671859 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 20:42:14 +0000 jedeve 1671859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15-16 mo. Not really subject verbs. But things like "more crackers" or "doggie woof woof" or "dada car" or "night night kitty."</p> <p>The other day his grandpa sat his keys down in front of him and he said, "thank you keys papa!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-stringing-words-together#post-1671821 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 20:29:44 +0000 googly-eyes 1671821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Idk, I think it was pretty early for the first few two word phrases, maybe 15 months? 16? We are at 20 months now and she does up to maybe 5 words? Sometimes more. Usually communicates in 2-3 words though! But even with longer strings of words she skips words like pronouns and its not all "proper." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-stringing-words-together#post-1671784 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 20:20:10 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1671784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>23 months. She's just starting to put phrases together. It's a little odd because she never started out with a lot of single words. She took a long time to start talking and her vocab seemed really limited, but she's mimicked phrases. Just recently, she said: "Papa. Georgie, where'd he go?". It blew me away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-stringing-words-together#post-1671765 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 20:09:53 +0000 pl0508 1671765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now. At 16 mo. "Read me", "shut door" ,"shhhh Mady" (our dog) ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-stringing-words-together#post-1671758 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 20:02:57 +0000 mediagirl 1671758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 23 months, she still doesn't say things like daddy "do this" but she says things like sit down, all done and all gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-stringing-words-together#post-1671692 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 19:26:48 +0000 yellowbird 1671692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>16-17 months!</p> <p>She can talk amazingly well now at 21 months.
