Is it possible that my 9monther can say two word sentances?

My DD is nine months. She can say a few words "bye bye" "hiya" "mama" "dada" "muk (milk)" "boob" "tost (toast)" and her own name. Today she seemed to say "more muk" and her name then muk. She has said it several times and in context. I though two word sentances came much later so I assumed she was just making a sound that was like "more" before she said milk but 2 friends heard her and thought it was clearly "more milk". What do you think?

Yes its possible my youngest started like this and was speaking clear fluent 18 word sentances within about 10 months. It is unusual but it does cut down on temper tantrums (she didn't have them)

Definitely possible - if she has heard the phrase 'more milk' maybe she is just copying it without realising it's 2 separate words IYSWIM.

My dd is 10 months and she can say, dadda, nanna, hiya, hello, ta and have that. She has been saying have that for about 6 weeks ish. At first I thought it might just be her making sounds but several people have heard her say it too.

Notice she cant seem to say mamma yet tho

sounds about right to me,yesterday i was rreading dd1(7) baby book and she also said pretty much what everyone elses babies say hear and a couple of 2 words together, "hiya dada" and "bye bye dada" i think

you could also have a full scale conversation with her at 18mths and HV was astounded to hear her say "butterfly" and "helicopter" perfectly when did her 18mth development check i thought there was something wrong with dd2 as she never spoke only squealed till about 3 yrs, she also used to get really frustrated and had and still has terible tantrums if you cant undersdtand what shes saying.

never had any of that with dd1

Def possible.People may say diff but my ds could say paleontologist by 2 and we didn't even know what it was he did though.

Definitely. I had an early talker. ertainly means a little less frustration later on as they can communicate what they want more easily.

I agree - girls especially start to speak early.
When DD2 was about 15 months (and still bf) I remember coming naked out of the shower room, and she was sat on my bed. She said "Ooh, drink mummy please"
All perfectly pronounced no baby talk!
I'll bet your girl is doing 2 word phrases

I am positive my dd used to say aw gone (all gone) at this age when I showed her an empty yoghurt pot so I think it's definitely possible.

DS was saying 'tank-oo' thank you - at 9 months and full sentences by 18 months and using words like 'together' and 'both' - i.e 'conceptual' words - by the week before his 2nd b'day. Definitely kept the 'terrible twos' away...but it hasn't translated into any more than averagely-bright academic progress at school as far as I can see. But v useful to have an early talker
