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

9mo DD has "cat"
and "daddy"

I'm feeling a bit left out, actually .

Apart from 'dadada' and 'mamama', the only word Tom (20m) says is 'up'. MIL takes him out for a walk with their dog, and says 'up' to the dog alot. Now Tom says it when he wants out of his cot/highchair!

dd1 - 15 months "Dadda"
dd2 - 8 months "Hello"
ds - 8 months "Ella" (dd1's name -shouted it seeing as I'm always shouting it )

My DS1 - dada first
My DS2 - the dogs name - Jet at about 9months and now coming up for a year still pretty much the only thing he says.

We obviously shout at our dog alot!

At 12 mths - "ding dong" (we had just moved to an apartment and ds liked the lift a lot!)

Am I the only person that can't really remember their DC's first words????
I'm sure DS's was his sisters name (Ella) but I can't really remember DD's, something tells me it was 'ook' as in look.

Lol, Mrs Recycle! Ella must be an easy one for them to say, or we just said it lots.

Oh are all Ella's the same

DD 'baby' at 10 months

"tractor" at 22 months

DD picked up dh's mobile, put it to her ear and said 'hello?' at 11 months!

I'm writing this before reading everyone else's just to see if we were as standard-issue as I think we were ...

• ds: cah ( = car)
• dd: duck

both 11 months-ish, dd slightly earlier than ds

I think anecdotally that 11 mos & car/duck are probably statistically the totally commonest you get.

Now I'll read & see ...

DD1 - Dadda (with meaning) at 4.5 months. By 6 months she could say 5 easily recognisable words - didn't take any steps until she was 18 months though.

DD2 - Dadda again but at 8 months, only really just started talking well at 19 months. She couldn't get a word in edgeways with her bossy, chatty sister about. She walked much earlier than her sister though (probably as a means to escape the incessant chattering)

Ds1 said "How are ya!" at 4 months! after I said it to him. But to my immense disappointment he said nothing else till he was 9 months.

ds 6 months a child genious said heya[smug proud emoticon]never said another word for a year

Ciabatta. He was 9 months old.

At 8months, DS could say UP for pick me up...but now at 10months, he says AK instead! as in pick me up from high chair, walker or from bed.

DS also chants the ff:

PAPAPA...

DADADA....

ds1 said 'cat' a couple of days after his first birthday. Then not much at all for a few months. Now he is 2.7 and producing full, grammatically correct sentences in two languages, which has left me rather tbh. That also exploded rather suddenly in the couple of months after his second birthday.

ds1 said 'ap' for yes for ages - has only gone over to 'yes' recently. I rather miss it.

slim22 - mine too! 'car' at 15mths, also says, bubb (bubbles), ball, mun (moon), bub (bus) and has a large repetoire of animal noises!!!! It is sooooooo cute

Around the age of 1 yr old my DS started saying mummy, daddy and 'No' (No No No all the bloody time! God, it was grim).

oooh now i think about it he said 'harrah' (hello) from about 12mths whenever he saw/picked up a phone. That was defo the first real word. Still does it now at 15mths

the word was 'bird', or it might have been 'ball' but I think that was the next one... DS would have been around 1. What sleep deprevation does for you, you'd think I'd remember, but no...

again - about 21mo?
he is 23mo now and says the first sylabal of his name, the first sylabal of his brothers name, da and again
