First word?

[rileym2010]

Mama he now says dada too- towards DH and the dogs.

[unclejesse]

Mama, followed by uh-oh. His current favorite word is Dad.
He is my parrot, and is saying a lot.
Duck, doggie,quack,touch,what,more,puff,love, water, balloon,towel, bear, drink, are the words he says with meaning. Like he points to it and says the word or we ask him where -blank- is and he gets it.
He talks a lot of gibberish and I usually tend to agree with him.

[irish625]

Her first word with intent was "uh oh."

[rubber pants]

Her first word with meaning was dada. She says dada, mama, hi, baby, and bottle (baba). I think thats all she says.

[AndyCohen]

No words here at all. Lots of gibberish though.

[christidee]

It was dada, then mama, then pup, then ball, book, and bye bye.

[greenkitty98]

First word was mama.

[skwcm80]

Mama

[Regina Philange]

Dada, uh oh, and yeah, are the three words we are saying right now. oh, and Izzy(the dog).

First word was Dada.

[helicase]

Uh oh is his first (and only) word.

[katie]

She says mama, dada, uh oh, a dat and I think she has said ball and duck but not 100%.

Besides mama and dada I guess the first word is uh oh.

I hope you know how insane that is! She's incredible.

MIL is a speech/language therapist so I do know!! and I'm counting "woof woof" and "roar" as words- so maybe 15? but still... 

That's awesome. My pedi said that animal sounds count as words.

[skiesthelimit]

Mama

[vthokie]

Dada was first. Then next big one was uh oh

[claralou]

It's a toss up. Within 24 hours she said both "dada" and "uh-oh" with intention. H chooses to believe it was "dada", obviously:)

[rjamz]

No clue. I'm not sure if he has any words yet. He has his own language for sure and chatters away all day. He might say "ada" to mean H. And might say "shuz" to say Suzie the Dog. Maybe.

First was Dada (which she reluctantly says now), and then Bubba (we call Bruce the bulldog that).

This.  He "says" lots of words, but nothing really with intent yet.

See, some of these I wouldn't even know if J was saying. It just sounds like babbling to me unless it's phonetically correct. I'm going to be a tough mom to impress.

Umm yeah me too. She says things to certain objects but unless its ball and not ba I'm like whatever she didn't say it.

[mumegs]

Her first was dada, she actually pointed at DH and said it.
Next was uh oh, and then hi.
She says mama but I don't know if she means it or not. Usually it's ma maaaaaa when she's upset.

Same here. He could be saying dog and ball and stuff but I just dont hear it because it would be strung in with a lot of other babbles. Maybe I'll pay attention more today.

First word was Mama. Then Dada, Hey, and Yah/Yay. 

[rjamz]

Oh and he says "yeah" all the time, but doesn't know what it means

Lincoln's first word was mama followed by buh buh (bye bye).

[hass2001]

ETA: "That" is a big one now too....everything is "that, that, that" and points.

Lincoln is in the "that" stage too! He points at everything and says "dat" or "wuh dat" all day long!

Mama. He started saying it really young, or it seemed really young to me at 5 months. He says a few things, but it is like he forgets he can say them sometimes. Besides mama, dada, baba sort if words, he said Mac (our dog) and he started saying ball and nap. He sucks at doing it on command but he does itching things in command well, like a fake sneeze, cough, panting like a dog sort of thing.

[monkeybabe]

I can see why you'd say certain words aren't words until they're really saying them 100%, but some words are just hard for her to say because she doesn't have the sounds yet. She's definitely trying to say a specific word and using it for the proper thing.

Da-Da and then Daddy
