When does one expect first words to appear? My 13 month old says 'knedden', 'detch', 'haaa', 'guk' and 'shoo'. I don't know what she means except that 'guk' seems to mean 'walk', i.e. I say 'shall we go for a walk' and she replies adamantly 'guk!' and 'haaa' is when something's hot, i.e. the radiator or her food. What I was wondering is when the first recognisable words appear. She can say 'dah' for her dad but doesn't use it exclusively for him and hasn't really done a 'mamma' type thing yet. They're lovely though those first weird almost words.
