| Dada at six months. Prior to that she had her own "word" that she used for when she wanted to nurse, since about 3 months. |

| Blanket at 9.5 months. And then nothing else until 2. We even had her in speech therapy because she refused to vocalize after I got all excited about blanket. She eventually talked after two, first full sentence- “mama, take bubba (stuffed animal) upstairs please”. She was confounding, to say the least. Smart normal college kid now- if that’s helpful… |

My special needs child talked at 8 months with fluency.
My normal child did not start talking until she was 3 |

| Mama at six months. Followed by Dada, Nana (nanny), doggie and va-va (vacuum). She started signing for nursing (milk sign - sort of) at seven months. |

| Mama, Dada at six to seven months, three word sentences and could communicate pretty easily by 15 mos, full sentences by around 18 mos. She’s not a genius or anything but she has a expansive vocabulary. Other kids have mostly caught up by 4. |

| All three of my kids said their first word around 9 months. All had a handful of words by a year. My oldest’s language progressed the fastest, speaking in short sentences around 18 months. He was also very articulate for his age and never really had that typical toddler voice (when no one but those in close contact can understand what they’re saying). Middle child took longer, third is 2 now and seems to be middle of the road. |

| My kids are 5 and 6. I have no clue what their first words were, let alone when. People actually remember this stuff? |

| Eight months for kid 1, 14 or 15 for kid 2. |

Sure! I remember the exact moment and what my kids were wearing! For DS it was Mama at six months and DD was “dis” (this) at seven months. |

| I actually found it really hard to figure out when Dada or Mama went from babbling to an actual word. |
