Mommy, Daddy, kitty (diddy), that (dat), no, and a few others. By 18-19 months Brady was forming 3 and 4 word sentences.<br /><br />Brady, though, is advanced verbally. Once kids are a little older, I feel like they take a concentration. Brady's is definitely language. But he didn't jump with two feet off the ground until recently. At 2.5 some of the kids Brady plays with still say things like "want dat" and "I hungry" and some talk like him. "Mommy, I'm hungry and I want, ummmm, some fishy crackers please."<br /><br />It is SO exciting when they start to talk! Before you know it you will be having whole conversations with her!!<br /><br />Oh and I do recommend sign language. Get the signing times DVDs. Brady did sign language when he was younger and I do think it really helped in verbalizing.Daniellehttp://momseyeviewnyc.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602915421357912126.post-73781999546495548382010-05-05T21:24:25.549-04:002010-05-05T21:24:25.549-04:00Joel is way behind in age and language skills, so ...Joel is way behind in age and language skills, so I dare not say a thing - though he has said Dada and Mama once or twice... flukes though...<br /><br />But, I have a friend who has a 15 month old. And if you ask her (the baby that is) what a lion says, she roars. It is the cutest thing ever. I am sure Cameron is at least on par, but understanding all of those things must make her a cut above! I think it is just the repetition that is important. Thank you for helping me know that I should be repeating some things to my guy now!Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01502460715477423853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602915421357912126.post-49074415081751204072010-05-05T14:23:00.701-04:002010-05-05T14:23:00.701-04:00Jesse was like that with "Dada" and &quo...Jesse was like that with "Dada" and "Mama", too. It was all dada, all the time and rarely a mama. I think I actually teared up the first time he called me that in front of a room full of people. <br /><br />We did what Rebecca is doing and used common signs to help with the 'translation' (mama, dada, bottle, all done, etc.) It REALLY helps with their frustration levels.<br /><br />She seems to be doing well for her age group. I wouldn't sweat it. There are still kids Jesse's age (20 months) that only say Mama/Dada. They all go at their own pace. <br /><br />In fact, I was prepared for Jesse to be a late bloomer, since they say boys speak later, but, boy, were we floored when he started using three word sentences recently!<br /><br />Sorry she's not (and you're not) feeling well again!!!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559246059391809008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602915421357912126.post-14324989527950870502010-05-05T12:29:17.089-04:002010-05-05T12:29:17.089-04:00Since Dominick and Cameron share the same birthday...Since Dominick and Cameron share the same birthday and almost every single milestone - why should language be any different? <br /><br />Dominick calls for Dada and sometimes Mama. He can clearly (to us anyway) say Ozzie. He says it when ever he sees the little pug. <br /><br />Dominick understands lots of the same questions, often w/ the same flailing reaction to diaper change. He hates it!<br /><br />One thing that is different with Dominick is we are using sign language. He signs all done, more, milk, eat and we're working on please, paci, ouch/hurt. <br /><br />Your little girl's right on track! Don't worry a bit!Rebecca M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12628967846366982411noreply@blogger.com
