[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: I'm honestly not sure what counts as babbling. She says "ma ma ma ma" "da da da", she was in a raspberry blowing phase about 6 weeks ago, and has started clicking. But she doesn't imitate us when me or her dad makes one of the sounds she can say. She doesn't follow basic commands "grab your block" but then again I never made a conscious effort to teach her vocabulary like "block" until I started down this rabbit hole a few days ago! i will ask about this at her 9 month appointment but just looking for some peace of mind in the meantime.[/quote] Also you don't need to consciously drill her on vocab. Babies learn language by absorption, as they have since the beginning of time. It's like how immersion environments (where only the foreign language is spoken) are the best way to learn a foreign language.[/quote]
