My son was born March 26, he says mum, mumma, mummy, dada, grama and numy when he eats along with mmmm, he waves hi and bye and knows exactly what hes doing! He scares me, he's going to be smarter than me!

My daughter babbled mumma mumma mumma when she was 2 mths. But it was a babble not a word. I think it has to have meaning with intention to the child to be a word.

My daughter was born on the 16th and she says momma (when she is hungry or tired) or bubba when she is playing. Her dad wants her to say daddy so bad!! she started saying those two words in mid july.

my little girl has been trying to talk for months, but i wasn't just hearing things when she said "dada" last week. she says something like "mama" when she wakes in her crib in the middle of the night and wants to nurse. sometimes i swear she says 'hungry', but no one else hears it. lol

Hi :)
My little boy was born on 11th March.
He says 'momom' ALL the time!
He shouts 'dadad' when his daddy is in view or when his daddy is not paying him any attention!

My daughter just said "Mama" on September 7th!!! I was so excited!! She was born March 9th :)

I have been thinking my son has been saying "Yeah" and "Mama" for a while now but people kept thinking I was nuts. Until yesterday! He said "Yeah" a few times (my mom heard it so hopefully we aren't both crazy lol). He has only linked it once when I asked if his food was good he said "Yeah" but I don't think he actually knows what he's saying. Congratulations! I can't wait until he actually says my name :)

Rachel: It's a harsh world. I would love to see the video, but seeing is believing. And I would HIGHLY doubt it's jealousy. It's just known that it's babbling. Cute that they can make it sound like it & you really wanna believe that's what they said, but its not. My boy constantly makes noises that sound like mum or dadda.. and he does the whole reaching thing as well. Im quite okay with bursting bubbles.

My son was born march 27th...he says consonant's and Vowels...and when put together they sound much like words....
I am teaching him baby sign language, and right now he responds when I say the word eat (while opening and closing my fist) he will either sound like he’s hyperventilating or open and close his mouth or both…very cute :-)
He also knows to look at my husband when I say, “where’s dad” and as soon as his eyes land on him I say in that good ole’ mommy voice “There’s dad, there he is”
I will add that my oldest son who is now 7 said clear as day at the age of 6mos ball and never spoke clear like that until he was 1-1 ½ years old…very odd I know..

i think my daughter may be slightly advanced as now shes not only saying mum shes now saying mum, mumma, mummy, nanna, yum, broom, dada and hello and its definatly not just babbling she started of saying mum mum mum when she cryed but now shes saying all these words, i doubt she knows what most of them mean but she knows im mum and my mum is nan as she says that when we enter a room, i dont mean to brag or anything i was just curious on other march babys developmental milestones like first words...thanks for your replys xox

Michelle - I think thats rather harsh of you to say that, I know what my son says, and even have him saying dada on video, I hate all this jealousy there is with children sometimes

Rachael - posted on 09/03/2010

Yes :-) my son was born on the 16th march, and he has been saying mama, dada and baba for about two weeks, its amazing :-)



He of course doesnt know that I am mama etc but its still cute he can say the words lol xx

Jordan - posted on 08/24/2010

My son, born on the 27th, has said mom and momma since 2 months. He says it everyday and smiles when i respond to him saying it. I try to repeat mom or momma to him and he loves it. God only knows if he knows my name is mom or if he just likes that i look at him when he makes that noise.

Melissa - posted on 08/24/2010

Emma was born on March 21st and has said hi and yeah.

Michelle - posted on 08/23/2010

lol@Kimberly Thats cute!! My son has also done things like that. The other night he was crying and there again, I know its babbling... it sounded so much like he was saying mum mum mum.. Even my fiance caught that, we just giggled.

Kimberly - posted on 08/21/2010

when my fiance was changing our sons stinky diaper my son said haha as clear as can be i just laughed! He was babbling tho but still just so funny. I cant wait for him to say his first real word. *Mommy*

Michelle - posted on 08/08/2010

lol as I stated before, they dont say words till at least 1 (these moms are on crack). I coach Ethan all the time to say mama or papa. He was crying one time and it sounded like "muuuuuuum maaaammmmuuuum" but I knew it was just babbling.



Cute though. :P

Teresa - posted on 08/07/2010

sometimes when my son cries it sounds like he;s saying "mum", but he's just crying. the other day he was babbling and it sounded exactly like he said "hi, how are you" so funny (it was more like ha, owayoo). he was born mar 31. i'm not expecting any real words for a while,but it doesn't stop me from coaching him: say "mama!"

Mariana - posted on 08/07/2010

wow i thought babies didn't start saying their words till their at least a year old, somewhere around there. my 22 wk old is nowhere close to talking he just gurgles alot lol

Danielle - posted on 08/05/2010

My son when he's in a talkative or playfull mood coos 'i ah oo' and it sounds SOOOOO much like 'I loveyou' that the first timemy mom and I heard it, our jaws dropped and tried to get him to say it again, but all he did was giggle at us lol

Melissa - posted on 08/05/2010

My daughter bables the words Hi and Yeah. So cute. :)

Mason's been attempting to say Dada, but before that he would laugh and say "Hi", Mason just turned 5 months on August 4th.

Sarah - posted on 08/04/2010

my son said his first word yesterday,it was dada 8-(. But im still happy he said a word. He babbles all the time!!!

Michelle - posted on 08/04/2010

Jessie: dont be worried... Im not too sure about this "baby talk" :P It's called babbling. However, the baby sign language I can probably agree with. My niece was doing baby sign language, gotta admit... it was very cool & helpful!



http://www.babies-and-sign-language.com/...



By around 14 to 20 months of age, a child will usually speak actual words. They begin with simple words that they have heard often, such as “mama” or “dada.” These words eventually turn into two-word phrases, which is the next step on the journey of speech. Two-word phrases such as “come baby” or “doggie gone” begin around the age of 2 years. By this point, a baby should have around 50 words in her vocabulary. When a child can link two words together, it shows an understanding of both words and content. Object and action words are understood and expressed. Language socialization research provides important insight into young children’s linguistic and cultural development and helps us understand the relationships between the cultural context and the use of language with and around children (King and Park, 2003).

Jessie - posted on 08/03/2010

my son was also born on the 14th and he's not even close to saying his first word - he coos and makes vowel sounds a lot but no consonants, i thought they weren't supposed to start talking until closer to a year old... should i be worried?

Kayla - posted on 08/03/2010

Rebecca - posted on 08/03/2010

My son was born on 31th of March and since one month he says mammy,mama .At first I thougt that its a coincidence ,but he repeats it every day....perhaps he still doesn't know the meanig but it so nice to hear it!!!

Danielle - posted on 08/02/2010

My son was born on the 24th of March and many times has said momma, mom, da da, hi, hey and said something today while crying that resembled "I miss my daddy" !! I know he doesn't know what he is saying, but it's so cute!

Frances - posted on 08/02/2010

That's great, my girl says "wu gi gi gi gi, la gu gu gu gu, ". Every time I say to her:"say Mum, say Mum." She replies by giggling.

Michelle - posted on 08/02/2010

Wow. Never heard of babies talking so soon. I have 16 nieces & nephews and have to admit my nephew was saying words by 9 months ish... but was saying complete sentences by 1 1/2. He's 15 now & BRILLIANT. I think it's all on how you work with the child (which we were speaking to him as if he were an adult) I hear Ethan going muuum muuuuuuuum when he's eating. But Im thinking it's because he's lovin what he's chowin on. Otherwise he coos. Maybe in a week he'll say daddy.

Kristy - posted on 08/02/2010

My son says (or babbles) words out and they sound like words, go far he has "good" "wiggle wiggle" but I would not say he's talking yet, he can't link them to anything. EXCEPT "mmm...mmm" when he eats.. too bad that wasn't a word... lol. Girls usually are more vocal and develop verbal skills before boys (and we never lose it:) ..GRATS MOMMIE :)

Mary-Allegra - posted on 08/02/2010

WOW!! My son was born on the 21st of March....I doubt he'll be making such proclamations anytime soon...but I hear boys are later than girls. Congrats, Mum!!

Samantha - posted on 08/02/2010

my daughter was born on the 15th, and she has made sounds that resemble mama many times..most of the time when she is crying..so I always mimic her and tell her mama, mama, mama..lol
