my doctor doesn't require a list, but I'm making one just because I really don't know how many she has! I know they're going to ask next week.
how many did your LO have at 15 months?
-
Ellie had two: Mama, and "up." Only mama was reliable. She now speaks wonderfully and has an excellent vocabulary.
Lorelei was already using short sentences and had well over 200 words. I have no idea how many she actually had because it was too many to make a list.
So much variation at that age! Would you share your list? It's always fun to see what words kids are motivated (and able) to learn first.
-
We have mama,dada, at(cat), moo and baa. That's about the only words I can count on for DS at 15.5 months.
-
Probably under 5 words that were actual words and not just parroting.
-
15 months tomorrow and our list is around 30 plus a couple phrases like "stop it" "all done" "come on" & "let's go."
She repeats everything too clear as day, but doesn't necessarily know what they mean so I don't include those. She also knows several people's names.
-
G just had a language explosion at 16 months. Probably 10 words and growing each day. He has also started connecting 2-3 signs together, like "more milk please."
-
14 i think? Mama, Dada, hi, up, out, dog, uh oh, milk, baby, truck, dump truck, tree, choo choo and outside. He will say almost anything when prompted but those are the ones he initiates regularly.
He also makes quite a few noises....vroom, the noises for lion, elephant, monkey and dog, beep beep...
-
Not many...maybe 5. She got more words right before her 18 month appt (about 15).
-
3- mama, dada and sometimes uh-oh. She also says baba - which means baby.
-
5ish words I think? Not many.
-
He is 14.5 months and has 11 I think?
Mama
Dada
Up
All done
Cheese
Door
Ball
Button
Belly button
Bubbles (lots of b sounds!)
dis (this)
He also makes sounds for cow, dog, and a siren (I think sounds count as words at that age also!). -
Maybe 10? No, mama, daddy, cheese, bubbles, doggy, book, uppy and a few more!
-
At 18 months she had 13 (some in different languages).
At 13 months she had 5, so at 15 months it was something in between that.
-
so do you only count words they say without any type of prompting?
-
@Mrs. Twine:
if words with zero prompting, she has 12 I think -
mama
dada
nana (she does not say this often, but can)
papa
light
wow
uh-oh
more
owl
doggy (she says something like..foreign sounding..but consistent)
night night
uppy (no idea what this means yet, though)edit: duh, forgot "hi" and "up"
-
@sorrycharlie: yup I only count words that he says spontaneously on his own (although they might be in response to a question). I don't count things he just repeats when we say them.
-
@hilsy85: oh! so if I say, what does the lion say? and she says, roar. or meow for cat. would those count..or are those technically a sound? LOL. hopefully my dr doesn't care enough to ask for a count
-
@sorrycharlie: I totally counted "moo" as a word.
-
@sorrycharlie: I think animal sounds count as words! I would count those!
-
Including animal sounds at 15 months she had 25 words.
-
@sorrycharlie: That's a good list! You can count animal sounds at that age.
And I don't think they care about the list so much, only insofar as it tells them if there is a concern. And with your list I would be surprised if there were any. -
I think she had about 5 (can't remember them, though), none of which were momma or dada.
-
@sorrycharlie: yes those count because she expressing her thought process. Her amazing dance moves should also count as 10 words per beat!
-
@Kimberlybee: lol! gonna have to get her into dance class as soon as she turns 2!
-
Dd had about 30 when we made a list a bit before 15 months.
-
At 14.5 months J has:
dada
hi/hiya
mama
no
yeah
duck ("duh")
woof ("wuh wuh")
moo ("muh")
baa
neigh ("na na")
book ("buh")
done ("duh")
bye (sounds more like "bah") -
DS only has about 3-4 at 15 months. At his check up, they asked if he had at least two words.
-
In the hundreds, with two word sentences. Mine was an early talker, late walker.
-
@sarac: mine's a late walker, too! haha I guess she does everything at her own pace
-
She'll be 15 months next week and has over one hundred. She's starting two word sentences now. She has an amazing memory. When I read books I pause and she fills in the missing word. She's really good at Where the Wild Things are.
@Mrs. Twine: I think she's like you LoreleiDo doctors really ask for a list?
-
OMG! I am floored by how many words some of your LOs can say. C has a much shorter list
Mama
Dada
Nana (milk)
Bubble
Ball
Hi
Uh ohAfter 15 months she's added:
Kitty (as in Hello Kitty)
Cat
Please
CheeseShe understands a lot more but I haven't heard her say the words.
-
DD is 16 months and can say- Da Da, Ma Ma, cat, Bop (her name for the cat), quack, moo, fish, no, yes, up, ho ho ho (when asked what Santa says), cheese, and purp (purple or purple ball)- so 13?
-
@katsupgirl: I think they just ask for a rough number
@autumn865: yes, I love the "ho ho hoooo!" I'm glad I started this thread because it's helping to jog my memory lol
-
5 at 15 mos
20 at 18 mos
40 ish at 19 mos
-
He only had like 5-7 words at 15 months. At 20 months, he's starting to pick up words easier and quicker, at least one a day it seems
-
@katsupgirl: You're in for a fun time! They say such funny stuff.
-
I remember the doctor asking and I counted about a dozen. I didn't include animal sounds, though!
-
I just looked back and she had 23! most were korean words.
-
There is such a huge range at that age. I have many friends with kids who had no words at 18 months that were just late talkers.
I looked back and Charlie only had 7-8 words at 15 months. By 21 months he had 200 words and just grew exponentially from there. It really happens like overnight!
Olive had more than 7-8 words at 15 months but she wasn't using them consistently, and actually had a bit of a regression where she stopped using words she formerly did. She really has had a huge language explosion in the past month (26 months). Way behind Charlie, but not too delayed.
Every child is so different when it comes to speech!
-
At 18 months (when I really started keeping track), she had 17 words. I think around 15 months she probably had about 5? Not very many.
She's definitely a late talker! 22 months now And has about 55 words. I'm so jealous of all you mamas with chatty kiddos!
