My 1yr (plus two weeks!) old DS doesn't say anything yet. Sometimes he will sort of mumble mamamamama but it's not in context. Other than that he will say a grunty "ooh" when he is excited or someone comes in.
He definitely hears me fine and can certainly understand some words.
I keep wondering if it's my fault. I'm with him all day but I'm not very good at having one sided conversations and find myself feeding him in silence etc.
Is this my fault? Am I hindering him? Or will he figure it out anyway?
He hears people talking throughout the day when people come to the house or I go out, but not much of it is directed AT him.
It doesn't help when people tell me about their babies reciting the periodic table at 11 months etc etc....
