However, she doesn't usually seem to be talking to anyone in particular, so it's hard to tell if she's actually trying to communicate anything. She does watch me very carefully when I make any non-verbal noises or when I use baby sign. </p> <p>She definitely communicates her needs through laughing and whining pretty effectively though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-trying-to-communicate-with-you#post-481076 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 15:03:21 +0000 winniebee 481076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably around 5 months was when it seemed like he was really trying to tell us something. Now, when we ask him questions or say things to him he responds with some "word" (a noise or screech of some sort). He's 7.5 mos </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-trying-to-communicate-with-you#post-481065 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 15:00:44 +0000 kml636 481065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby girl is starting to coo, and she's 6 weeks. So now we keep trying everything to get her to do it again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-trying-to-communicate-with-you#post-480738 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 12:44:12 +0000 Weagle 480738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She would coo to us pretty early, but. I think it really picked up around 5 months. She would squawk to get our attention and babble back to us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-trying-to-communicate-with-you#post-480737 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 12:44:06 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 480737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It started around 4 months, when she would push things away if she didn't want it. At 11 months, she really starts to communicate through pointing and whining. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-trying-to-communicate-with-you#post-480676 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 12:22:22 +0000 matador84 480676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 4.5 months and will push away items he doesn't want...paci/toys/rice cereal. Last night I was being silly and he started laughing at me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-trying-to-communicate-with-you#post-480675 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 12:22:00 +0000 littlek 480675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think LO tries to communicate with us. He looks right at us and babbles. He also puts his arms out to be picked up. He started this around 5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-trying-to-communicate-with-you#post-480666 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 12:20:27 +0000 mediagirl 480666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night I was in the kitchen and my husband was playing with our 6 month old. He yelled over to me, "I think she's trying to talk to me!" She was looking right at him, making noises and moving her arms around. It was cute that a. he realized she appeared to be trying to talk to him and b. that she was doing that!</p> <p>When did your lo start trying to communicate with you? </p>
