what was your babies 1st word and how old was he/she

[tastychristmaspud]

?

Ds said 'Harry' - our cats name - at 10 months ish, and now says Mummy and Daddy at 12 months.

Nice to know we're below the cat in the pecking order.............!!!

DS said lots of mamamama dadada stuff from about a year on, which in my fond heart I pretended were "mummy" and "daddy" and possibly were but his first non-burble word that I could put my finger on was "shoe" at about 15/16-ish months. He didn't properly start echoing and repeating words until about 18 months.

Now he's 19 months and it's like he turned a corner! So many new words - "uck" for duck - lots of "ello" and "ba-bye" and he reads along with his books - well not reads, obviously! but like in his Meg and Mog book there are lots of sound effects like "boom" and "bubble-bubble" and "miaow" and he recognises the picture and shouts them out when we get to the page. His favourite is "boom". We sometimes have to read that page half a dozen times before we are allowed to go onto the next page (sigh...)

DD1 - duck - 10 months

DS1 - yes - 11 months

DS2 - dog - 13 months

DS3 - bird - 13 months

(DD2 is 9 months. No words yet)

mmm what is it about duck? do they learn this in the bath?

car just under 1

Mamamama and Dadada first, then the dog's name at about 12 months.

Mine said cuddle at just under 12 months but we suspect he said cat earlier.

ds1 teddy at 11 mths, daddy at 13 mths, TinkyWinky, Dipsy, LaaLaa, Po, WAAAY before any attempt at Mummy;
ds2 cat pronounced 'attack', no idea how old, I wasn't concentrating by then;
dd1 'row row row' [as in the song) 9 mths, then 'hello', used from depths of pram to great effect whenever old ladies peered in.

dd1 aged nearly 2 also overheard another anxious parent saying to me 'Gosh, doesn't she talk a lot? My S only says about 6 words', and chirped up, 'I can say six words, Mummy. One, two, free, six!'
Not sure she's ever shut up, actually.

does mamamama and dadadada count at 7 mos?

ds: 13 mths, "duck" (yet another duck!)

dd: 12 mths, "tiger" (not sure why - it wasn't the name of a pet and she'd never seen a real one, only pictures in books)

DD 7 months orange
DS well it's hard to say really, he has said Mamama for a while, and he tries to say all gone, but nothing really clear yet (14 months)

The dog's name (my lovely son!) at 10 months

eldest teddies 9 months (poo was 2nd word)
2nd woof-woof flowers

Both said ta around 8 months

3rd didn't talk til over 2
4th non verbal til 3 but did know 40 signs around 18 months!

My BF LO says 'Duck' but he means 'Look' as he says it whilst he is pointing.

My DS (same age 11mo) says Dada and that is about it. No sign of MaMa yet.......I'm not bitter

DS1 - yuck - age 2 yr 4 mths
DS2 - yeah - age 11 mths

There's 19mths between my two, but DS1 has only been talking for 2 months longer!

My ds said 'teddy' at ten months

my mum freaks people out by telling them that my brother's first EVER word was a full, grammatically correct, sentence! I don't know how old he was but on mum attempting to spoon feed him something, he stopped her and said "I'll do that"....

Not "I do that" even, it was all enunciated perfectly! She said it really made her jump.

lol fio very foodie lo's

Shoes. Well, "ish", which means shoes, socks, slippers, boots and any other foot covering. About 15 months.

'cat' dd age 7 months, then didn't say it again for months.

ds2 is 9 mths and says buh for his bear and muh for more and mama for me and ummm for Emmy his big sis

tacter (tractor) at around 10 months followed by bike, star, cat, car, noo-noo and bloody months and months later before mama

DD1 - cat at about 11 months. then Dada. Most speech didnt come until after 2 though.
DD2 - cat and then 'again' at abut 10 months and then dada. No mama yet but lots of words coming now at only 12 months.

My daughter's first word was "thank you" and she was 12 months.
