Hi,
My son will be one next week and is doing really well - walking, feeding himself, pointing, waving etc. We still have no words though not even a mama or dada or hi. I'm not worried yet and we have lots of babbling - mamamananama etc and he points to things and says 'ah' he also brings me things and says 'ah' as he passes them over. Sometimes he responds to his name and sometimes he responds to instructions like come here (not consistently though) if I sing wind the bobbin up he will start clapping and if I ask what a dinosaur does he goes ROAR. Saw health visitor for his check at 10.5 months and she had no concerns, though it only asked if he was babbling not dating words on the questionaie.
Just wondered when everyone else got their first word. I seem to know loads of people whose babies were doing so at 6 months.
Thanks all
