My kids both can say 3 words. Umma, appa, mamma (food in Korean)... It's so cute cuz my daughter tries to say apple, but she can't really say ple, so it comes out ap....pa.
-
My 13 month old says quack and yes, but doesn't seem to fully grasp either. Every animal says quack and he just randomly says yes. He signs for milk and food.
-
At 9 months she can only say hello and hej (hello in Swedish). She says mama and dada but I don't think it's deliberate and I can't get her to say it back like hello and hej.
-
At one year DD can say 7 words - baba, a-dee (daddy), mama, nai nai (milk), wow, bop (ball), and neng (pretty... yea I know...).
-
@MegWag: My son quacks too! It's so cute!
DS says five words: momma, dada, ball, dog, and that. He also signs 7 words.
-
At age 1, he had very few words, probably around 5?
They were mostly animal sounds (which count as words) and mama. But everything was mama, including my husband!
-
@MegWag: we have tons of cow toys so my LO knows how to moo!
He also says the 'uh' part of 'uh oh,' calls every stuffed animal a 'bah' and says 'bah wah' whenever he sees a dog. I'm a very literal person and I don't interpret word approximations well so I wouldn't say any of those are actual words (although they may be considered words by others).
He signs more, all done, help, lights on/off, and I want.
-
I honestly don't know if he's really saying anything. There's lots of things it sounds like he's saying, but I don't know if he knows whats actually coming out of his mouth or if it actually means anything. Until he looks at me and says mama clear as day, I'm not counting it.
-
Cracker, waffle, yogurt, sister, mama, dada, quack, ball, bear
I think that is it. However, this is not very audible to other people, we have gotten use to hearing words in sounds because of our daughter. I'm much more fluent in "baby" after having gone through it once hahaha. He is 13 months old too, that month makes a difference!
-
Our pediatrician said she wanted LO to be saying 3 words by age 1, and I don't think he was there yet- maybe had one word, MAYBE two. He caught up quick, and now at age 2 he talks in mostly full sentences all the time about all kinds of stuff.
-
@Honeybee: We're right with you. Mama, dada, dog, Catch, Lala, and um um for eat. I'm just trying to spend as much time naming things for her as possible.
-
She really doesn't have many words, she says dadadada all the time. and just recently started saying Hi! She's also started saying nya nya nya.
-
He is almost 14 months and can say about 20 words. Hi, bye, mama, dada, baby, hot, banana, cheese, keys, bottle, ball, sock (gock), uh-oh, clock, puff (bop), kitty, night-night (ny-ny), boom, and nummy-nummy for eating/food. Plus he can do animal noises (elephant, dog) and vroom-vroom for trucks and things like that.
-
@BananaPancakes: I feel the same. I could probably interpret more "words", but I only count fully articulated ones as actual words.
@Sammyfab: We have a thing for ducks, so we have lots around the house so quacking is no real surprise. It's so funny to hear him answer that dogs, horses, Mommy, Daddy, etc. all say quack.
@Honeybee: too cute! Though sometimes it can sound a bit like he's saying cock over and over 
-
@Crumbs: wow! Starting so young! Smart cookie!
@littleveesmommy: k, I need to get cracking! Aren't kids so smart? Leaning difference between words in another language!
-
@tequiero21: I agree! It's pretty crazy how fast they can absorb the things we say (and I really have to be careful these days as she's become a parrot as of late). Do you speak mostly Korean to your LO or a mix of Korean and English? When DD was an infant I thought I'd only speak English but then later read that English is learned quickly once the attend daycare or similar, so I switched and now converse with her solely in Cantonese. I do speak to DH in English so she hears us and has picked up some random words.
-
Mama, Dada, Dog, Hot, and No-no.
-
She only says baba (daddy in Chinese) and umma (mommy in Korean). I'm trying hard to just go with it and not stress about how many words she knows! She has 2 more weeks to go until she turns 1!
-
hes almost 9 months and says momma (when crying!!) dada, hi and hey..... the momma and dada we dont think he knows what they mean (he called the cat dada yesterday and calls my hubby momma too) but he will sometimes say hi and hey when you say it to him when you get home from being out and see him.. its cool to see!
-
wow so impressive everyone! DS just turned 1 and didn't really have any words at all. he just learned to say bye bye but this was after he turned one. he does babble a lot but we don't count those at all. our doc said it was okay, and that he would want to hear a few words by his 1.5 year appointment.
-
@littleveesmommy: I speak mostly English. Cuz my mil who helps out pretty much very day speaks Korean.
@Freckles: so easy to stress out, right?! Happy early bday! I didn't know u were Korean! Are u having a dohl?
-
Mama, NeNe (his grad ma's name), light, this and doggie.
-
@tequiero21: Yep, i'm Korean but we're not doing a traditional dohl. Our families are a 4 hour plane ride away! I think i'll still do a dohljabi though, just because it's fun to do.
I stopped stressing out once she started saying "baba" because she now babbles all the time. Though i find it funny because she cries "umma" when she's stressed. hahaa
-
@Mrs. Jacks: Isn't it funny that we were both a little about our babies a few months ago?
Seems like they caught up quick!
-
@tequiero21: Oh that's so cool she gets spoken to in two languages! She's going to be bilingual before she goes to school! =)
-
@Honeybee: I think it's because of the comparison that we're trying so hard to avoid. This is a lot different than 50-100 words and 30 signs, in my opinion
-
