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.

DD today said something that sounded very much like Emily (her doll) then seemed to realise where she was and clammed up.

My 15 month old son says daddy ( sometimes)Kaka ( when asked what the duck says ), duck (sometimes), moo ( when asked what the cow says), and very recently tickle. He did say mama but I am now Kaka!!. He babbles constantly and I have heard things that could be other words but not always frequently. Boys are often slower with language than girls, I wouldn't worry. In saying that I know how you feel as I am a worrier and reading other people's long lists can make that worse.

It's so interesting to hear what is impotant to the babies.DD will say
cake
duck
woof (dog)
cat
yum
wow
Teddy
Mummy
more
car

she makes noises/babbles and signs the above and following:
more
funny
hurt
look
outside
stop
carefully
frog
trees
eat
sweeties
where is
downstairs
elephant
horse
baby
drink
milk
raisins
fruit
banana
wake up
daddy
like
book
panda
bird
cow
dance
pig
milk
ouch
hot
hat
bed
brush my teeth
now she likes that one
fish
I am clean
ball

Ds said wow and this age and signed plane and car.

I am a proud braggy wanker mummy aren't I?

I actually think we might be hitting a development phase - I have noticed how much he has been copying over the last couple of days. For example, I was pushing his cars around the floor earlier going "vroom vroom", he then did exactly the same and made the same noise. He understand loads too - I ask him to go and fetch his bag and he does.

So perhaps he's going to catch up with all these chatty babies soon.

And hello flowery

Giddy at three they are all saying the same

That's when you wish they'd stop

Yes, and no, not really.
Has said the odd word (including "el-gant" - "elephant") and can make himself understood by pointing and grunting (does that ever change for boys) but no consistently used recognisable words. He babbles loads and it all sounds very speech-like.

Yes, and understands too, will get his shoes, ball, toys etc, clap his hands if told to (and is in the mood to obey )

Very funny, the other day he made a sound exactly like "Yer WHA'?"
DH said "It's not 'you what?'"
and he said "Eh?"

We're common as muck rand ere

DS spoke recognisable words at 15 months and full sentences by 2.
DD, however, didn't say anything at all until nearly 2. Nothing wrong with her speech at 4.

ds says bye-bye, and cat (which means cat or dog).

He's started to join in the words/actions of songs, especially "The Wheels on the Bus" but I don't think others would necessarily realise that he's singing "all day long"!

He chatters a lot but not necessarily clear what he's saying.

He understands lots.

That's strange ghosty, I assumed it would be the other way round and girls would be more chatty iyswim!
I'm really looking forward to DS talking and being able to make himself understood fully. Pointing and grunting is fine for "I want a drink" but not so good for "I feel a bit sick and my head hurts"

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

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

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

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)

DS is 14 months.

dadadadadada

mamamamamama

that's it.

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.

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'.

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.

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!!!!

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

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?"

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.....

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!

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!
