[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great disclaimer, lol!

I would say your kid is definitely talking.

My third is only 4 months old and I heard a very clear "mama" over the monitor when she woke up the other day. The logical part of my brain knows it's too soon, but it had me wondering if its possible. [/quote]

Mine would cry mama starting at 8 weeks, and sometimes it did sound more like talking than a cry. She definitely wanted me when she said it, and was calling for me, but it still wasn't a real word.

If I asked where's mama, she wouldn't look at me. She didn't understand the word mama referred to me even though she appeared to be using it regularly. My early talker, in the other hand, clearly understood that the word mama meant me several months before using it.

Maybe your 4 month old is different, but I do think some babies just cry like that. It does, however, make me wonder if this is part of the reason why we use the word mama in so many different languages (not only is it easy to say, but some babies "cry" it).[/quote]

She wasn't crying, though. She woke up, pet the side of her Snoo, looked directly at the Nanit and said "Mmama!" Just once and waited for me. It seemed so deliberate!

As far as my other kids, one talked very early. She put together sentences very early. Early reader/writer. Early walking and potty trained. She's an overachiever. The other was more middle of the pack. Could be that the overachiever hasn't stopped talking since she started. Baby is just trying to get a word in edgewise. [/quote]
