when we count the number of words our lo's can say, do they have to be completely correct??? as in book, look, thomas etc as DD will get a book and say 'ook' or point to something and says 'ook' or sees thomas the tank and say 'omas'

Dude has a bit of a country accent (he says things like key-ar for car lol) and is a wild mumbler- combine that with living in Bristol and Lorelei would do well to pronounce any words fully lol
I'm now going to go away and list all the words she can say. She might be interested at a future time.

Lily is pretty good at words and most are clear - Mummy, Daddy, Nanny, cat, car, car key, teddy, oh dear, socks, plughole (I know, random) etc. Lots need a bit of imagination (gok gok = yoghurt, Baddie = Maddie, durdee = dirty, foor = floor) and some sound NOTHING like the actual word but are used consistently in context (eg she always says "ay-dor" for bye bye or goodnight).
Anyway I would definitely count "boggos".
BOGGO BOGGO BOGGO.
Ruby is the same, says lots of things that aren't the proper word but i know what she means so i count them.
Her faves are "TESSSSSSS" who is the dog and Alex (her cousin) which she says perfectly. she calls me "mammaaaaah" and says ook for look, today she said "shuz" for shoes and likes to say "sis?" for what's this? she also says juice.
The weirdest one is she knows thank you but will not say it, she just goes "mmm,mmm" with the right tone behind it!!!
BOGGOS...........................
her favourite words are cat (which she shouts at the top of her voice) 'oh toodles' (from the mickey mouse clubhouse) sit down, get down, lie down, down, (she'll try anything 2 not be carried/picked up) and 'Can-Koo' (thank you)!! I count all the words that I can understand or that sound vaguely like the word she is trying 2 say!!

seems like everyone is the same then, counting words that sound right but are not 100% correct pronouncation.
DD has started with OK today but it is more 'oh ay' but hey close enough and she has been saying 'good girl' loads today too but again its 'guh gir'
the other day she said sh*t but luckily she no one else would now as it is just he 'it' on the end, i know its meant to be 'sh*t' as its the tone of voice she uses and says it if she drops something. i balme MIL and one of the twins has picked it up too
james knows nana for banana, uh oh! when he does something naughty and every animal he sees goes moo!!
He is gabbling quite a bit, been having oggy oggy oggy for some time now and dadda.
So many girls are much better, but I think James is a bit more advanced at other things - rugby style tackles with his dad!!!

Having been through them quickly there's about 20 or so she uses most days. The most recent and well used are currently moo (moon), ba (ball) and wower (flower), as well as na (no!), ta, Dadda and Mumma. I can understand quite a lot of what she means now or is asking for )
There's still a lot of yelling though when she can't communicate what she wants!! :roll:
Well done Abby for getting Ta sussed.
Go the girls on their vocab!
