Have you got a 15 month old? Do they say anything recognisable?

[giddykipper]

I sometimes think we get a mama/dada but I'm probably imagining it. Other than that I don't think there's anything recognisable. He babbles constantly and makes loads of different noises. Does an "o-oh" if he drops something.

I'm just wondering when we're likely to get something more interesting.

[giddykipper]

Is this thread still going?

Well, three weeks on from my last post and he now says:
Ball
Bubbles
Katie
Daddy (spent all afternoon saying this, no mummy though )
Garden (as in Night Garden )
Water
More
All gone
Elephant
Hiya
Bye bye
Chair
Vroom
There
Wow

It's incredible how things have moved on.

[Izzybel]

DD says:
Hiya
Bye
Gack gack (quack quack)
Garr (star)
Ca (cat)
Naa (banana)
baby (dolls or any child in a photograph)
car
Theyah (there you are! When playing peek-a-boo)
Baa (all the animals in her toy farm)
Ta
Mamamama
Dadadada
Nana

and generally mehmehmehmeh and points when she wants something!

[MuchLessTiredNow]

yes!!! dc3 says 'nee naa nee naa nee naa' which means (I am fluent in baby speak btw) - I WANT!!!! she is much later than the first two, but I am still abnormally proud.....

[NattyThomasAndEllen]

lol bumper @ "training" ur DD!

not many clear words here, only half words with corresponding baby sign. she has dog, cat, tiger, drink, eat, more, fish, please, thank you, no or dont, all gone, yes (with nod not correct sign) and sad (dunno why she has that one, ) however i do think the half sounds i would have dismissed if she didnt have the signing, because they are not close enough to the word to be used alone, and for ppl to know what she is saying (of course i do tho)

she did say hello properly at 11 months, with a wave, in the right context (mr tumble on cbeebies)

ok im finished showing off

[2HotCrossBunnies]

yes hello April 07 mummies!
I'm feeling relieved having read this thread - DS2 is just 16 months and saying very little that's recgnisable. Ds1 had loads of words by now, full sentences by the time he was 2 plus counting and colours around 20 months. I keep worrying in my darker moments that Ds2 is slower due to all the knocks to the head he's had as a 2nd baby... I know they are all different but even siblings to this degree?

[Sexonlegs]

My dd2 who is also 15 months doesn't say much, other than Mama, Dada, uh-oh and hiya.

Hi April 07 mummies

[LackaDAISYcal]

lol bumper at mostly in woofs

DD made a fair old stab at strawberries tonight...it came out daw-bebees but close enough for me.

[StealthPolarBear]

noonki your DS saying quack in his sleep is lovely

[katiepotatie]

oh I forgot
hello and bye bye

[katiepotatie]

book (her first word!)
daddy
nana
papa
mama (long time after the above )
quack
ish (fish)
moo
baa baa
woof

she also babbles alot, sounds like Swahili!

[noonki]

my 15 month DS

says quack ( a lot ... all the time ... even in his sleep)

and a few more daddy/doggie (rolled into one sound) mama (for me and milk) his brother's names woof, uh oh and hello

his brother said loads more at this age, and almost never shuts up now!

[StealthPolarBear]

Bumper, a few weeks ago DS started doing a fish open-close mouth thing ("bab bab bab") when we asked "What does the fish do?"
We were so impressed we asked "What does the cow do?" yes...bab bab bab!

[motherinferior]

Mime were like MB's. DD1 was preternaturally articulate, and remains so. DD2 was much less clear, and I was quite worried about her at 15 months.

These days they both go on and on and on and onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.....

[Bumperlicious]

Very of all your chatty babies! DD is 13 mo and communicates mainly in woofs .

She does also say boo (for moo her cow), teddy and duck. You can see where her priorities lie! She does say mama and dada but not really to us.

It's good to see how others are doing but does bring out the competitive parent in me! When DD was about 10 months old and started to make a sound like woof dh and I spent 2 weeks literally training her to respond woof to "what do doggies say?"

[Blandmum]

It varies so much. Dd was talking very clearly at that age. and by 18 months she was saying things like, 'Mummy can I have an ice cream please?'

Ds was far slower

[JimJammum]

At 15mo, my ds didn't say many clear words, but babbled constantly, which is the main thing (especially if babbling is tuneful). Now 18mo, he is talking and we get a new word every couple of days, plus now linking 2 together....this morning we had "daddy bye" as we were leaving the house, accompanied by waving. Very proud!!!!

[Megglevache]

SOH tell me about it B has 8 coming through at once and is unbearable right now bless.

Medicine now, that's what I get. Roll on a few weeks.

[ShowOfHands]

I've just counted. My not quite 15 month old says about 35 words in context and signs an awful lot more. I'm under no illusion that it'll all even out in the end. Sadly, she's cutting back teeth atm so her favourite phrase is 'mama ow mouth'.

[lynniep]

Well I just compare DS (17mo)to his peers and they're all about the same to be honest. They don't say a lot but babble away happily in their own little language
DS signs a little, which helps as he's quite difficult to understand most of the time.

He says 'Daddy' clearly (although only recently uses it specifically for his dad -before that everyone was daddy), and now and again 'mama'. He does 'diddy' (which is a bird, or a dog, or a teddy!) 'cat', toats (toast),'mo' (more), 'nana' (banana or any other fruit that I'm offering), 'nack nack' (snacks and also duck!) and 'tea' (drink!) also 'dee' (milk). He says bye bye too.

[ViolentFemme]

DS is 14 months.

dadadadadada

mamamamamama

that's it.

[MrsJohnCusack]

my just 17 month old can say a few things, like ball, book, giraffe, mama, bye, dog, cat, boat, ballon, bubbles, duck, hello, what's that, bear, yum, fish, etc. plus today he said 'dolphin', randomly. he's only just started walking too. I think he was too busy getting all but 4 of his teeth by 14 months to have TIME to do anything else, poor love

DD didn't talk for AGES I was beginning to worry, but now, at 3.8 she is a very good talker (and, as they all say, never shuts up)

[SheSellsSeashellsByTheSeashore]

dd1 you could converse with her at 15 months quite easily, being that she is my first baby i used to get quite confused when people asked if she can talk
friend; is she talking yet
me; yes
friend; aww how sweet what can she say
me; well she can talk
friend; i know you said, how many words can she say
me; well she just talks she says all the words, why?
friend; what you mean she is talking already?
me; well thats what i said, what did you think i meant?

i must have sounded like a right ponce but i honestly believed that all 15 month olds had a wide vocabulary. she has now reverted back to baby talkk and her end of year report at nursery said she needs to develop her speaking skills. trust me she can speak just fine, its just that she wont!!!!!

dd2 is 14 months and her vocab is limited to
mama = anyone she wants to address as she has only mastered mama
baaa baaa = dd1's name
aha = im over here entertain me
nur = no
grrr = im annoyed

[Doobydoo]

SPB.I think M has a slight Carlisle accent![from his dad]
He can say calpol[sounds like cowpowl]and growl and say mama and dada and ootawl and olfball[golf] He says dum [dummy] and ot[hot] and can say apple and pear.Well we recognise itLots of pointing and hairpulling he gets v.cross and won't do the signing

[TrinityRhino]

clearly I have nothing to be proud of
I thought she wa sdoing well
