I've got a question. When did your toddler first speak? I'm not talking about "gobbly-goo" words....actual words..i.e, Mama, Daddy, yes, no, etc.
Thanks in advance for your reply. I'm very interested in what you all have to say.

So What Happened?

Elizabeth and Michelle, Thank you so much for sharing. I'm glad SOMEONE answered. Apparently, if you dont have a cheating husband or a question about God, there is not much to say. I was under the impression that this web-site, among other things, is about child rearing. I guess talking about childrens first words isnt a juicy enough topic. I guess I'll figure out when my daughter will talk on my own.

My grandson started saying Mama, Dada and Mimi (I'm Mimi) at around 6 1/2 months old. His first word other than those was bird. We have an African Gray who is very vocal. He loves to look at her and point at her. When he first started pointing I would say that's a bird and he would say "bu", then it went to "bu-d". After a couple of weeks he finally said bird clearly. This was at around 9 1/2 months. He'll be a year old in 6 days and he can say Mama, Daddy, Mimi, Nana (he has an aunt Nana), bird, ball, dog, done, down and no. We've gotten him to say Pawpaw a few times but he doesn't like to call his Pawpaw that. He calls him Mama. I don't know if he does this because my daughter favors her father or if he thinks it's funny. We correct him when he does this but on the inside I think it's hilarious!!! Though sometimes when they are together it's hard to tell who he is calling for unless he goes to one of them. I know you didn't ask all of that but I wanted to share my silly story.
