First words

[MangoMonster]

DS has uttered his first attempts at real words today! He filled in 'star' and 'are' to his favourite song! I nearly died of shock and wanted to cry at the same time. He doesn't say any words at all, not even mama or dadda, this was truly amazing!

Congratulations, MiniMonster!

Brilliant :) xxx

that's so brilliant! My ds' first words were star & duck!

That's lovely!
My first word was duck too, zam, a good first word...

Fab news

oh WOW!!! Well done mini mango!

DS first word was NO and its still his favourite

That is brilliant a lovely emotional moment for the memory banks :)

fantastic

congratulations Mango, hope there many to follow soon....

meant to say, hope there are many to follow soon

Men are so not designed for multi tasking are they? I can't keep track of where I am posting or meant to post...

Twinkle Twinkle is ds's favourite too. very happy for you, there seems to be a lot of similarities between our ds from what I have read so far, so I am hoping that he will follow in the same footsteps as your ds soon.

Brilliant! My DS1's first word was up (uh, actually) which we got him to practise loads in such songs as The Grand Old Duke of York! See if you can get him to finish any other familiar songs, Mango.

oh wow! fantastic

dd1 used to use a lot of jargon - she was always trying to talk to us, but little made sense (she could only use 'di' and 'da' as syllables, which meant interpreting it all was a little tricky, to say the least!)

her first proper word was 'water' ("au-tah!"), when she was feeling really poorly, poor little thing. we were in the car, and she asked (desperately ) for 'au-tah' - I nearly crashed in excitement!

singing/songs were great for expanding dd1's vocab, and practising articulation etc.

Lovely to read Mango . My Ds started talking by filling in missed out words in songs!

Lovely news, well done mini mango

Ds's first words were one, two, three, pronounced perfectly after having no words and no inclination to speak either.

that's fabulous, it's a lovely feeling isn't it... .

ds1 also started off with filling in twinkle twinkle little ....

Great news

Brilliant!

DD has no words, occasionally attempts to mimic words but her first sign was 'duck', followed by 'star' due to twinkle twinkle. She also makes the milk sign, usually with both hands, but also uses that for babies and when she is happy.

Quack.
