first words

[Alfiesmummy]

how old were your babies when they said their first word and what was it? i cant wait for his first word i hope its mummy but i bet its daddy how inconsiderate, he lived in me for 9 months i fed him kept him warm cosy and safe bought him into the world after 21hrs excruitiating labour fed changed loved and looked after him ever sand he will say daddy ... well! how rude, how very dare he!

Brody's was mummy (well mum-mum)
I brushed it off for ages, cos I thought daddy would always be first, but it got to the point if I left the room he'd be shouting at me going "MUM-MUM!!" so I had to believe it. After that came daddy and he forgot mum-mum for a while

Now he says "ta" too when I give him something and hiya and bye once in a while.

Ewans first proper word was CAR! we were sat down and a car went by and Ewan shouted Car and pointed that was at about 10 months i think. He had been saying mumumumm but it wasnt directed to me it was just him playing with his voice. But car was directed at the car!

He now says 'igger (tigger) ganma (grandma) buhbuh (byebye) i (hi)
dadda mam car.

alex was the same - mum mum first then once he got da da he hardly ever said mum mum now he says it lots though i dismissed it too for a bit then same as you realised he was yelling it at me if i walked away.

cant think when he said it now though - got it written down somewhere! by 9 months i think.

now we have nan nan (for either granny or nanny!) brrm for cars etc, ta, andad (grandad), he was saying hello and yeah but these seem to have gone for the time being

emily first spoke at about 10 months. ''daddy'' of course!
rebekah didn't talk until she was about three becasue emily did it for her and when she did start talking she never stopped and shes the loudest of my three.
Bethany was the same as Emily. Talked about 10 months ''daddy'' again.

Honestly I can't remember when her first word was or when she said it, because sooo many of her babbles sounded like recognisable words, it's really hard to pinpoint.

Now though she can say loads:

Before she was 14 months old these were the words she could say (in brackets is her pronunciation of stuff she doesn't get 100% right):

mama
daddy
amy
book
duck
bear
dog
hello
nana
jack
ribbit (bit) [frog noise]
I see
eeyore [donkey noise]
woof [dog noise]
fire (ire)
door
ball
hat
bubble

between 14 and 15 months she learnt these:

zip (bup)
meow [cat noise]
quack [duck noise]
ee ee ee [monkey noise]
[pig grunt]
ee eye ee eye oh [from old mc donald]
eye
moo [cow noise]
baa [sheep noise]

since she turned 15 months old she has learnt these:

I love you (I lu loo)
knee (me)
nappy (appy)
sss [snake noise]
lily
apple
banana (nana [pronounced like narna rather than nana as in her grandmother lol])

NB - she uses the animal noises appropriately, so if you ask her what a snake does she will go sss, of if she sees a picture of one. that kind of thing. she doesn't just do it randomly, she does know what they are for.

NB2: she knows a lot more than she can say though - for example body parts, if you ask her where things are she can point to them, even if she can't say them yet. She knows knee, chin, toe, foot, ear, eye, hair, head, nose, mouth, tongue, belly, finger, hand (that's just from the body parts).

wow thats good 30 words at 1yr old,
my 16 month old only says about 10 reconisable words at the mo!

Dior was like that. she only said about 5 words. i was worried then with in a month she could say loads.

i think that because they dont say them dont mean they cant.
i talk Dior through every thing we do this morning i said put your hood up and she did i was shocked as its something she has never said but she knows what they are.

She says loads of words now its great. my fav is "ohhhhh man"
