My LO is 7.5 months old and i'm saying 'mama' to her all the time to try get her to say it but all she can do at the moment is scream REALLY loud, and go 'Gahh' or 'Gooo' and little ahhh sounds. What is the average age when babies start to say actual words?
oxox :?

She has also said 'dad dad' for a good month or so - although this tends to be when she's in a good mood.
Typical eh, mom mom = unhappy, dadad = happy!!
I'm looking forward to the day when what she says means something!
Dada
Mama
Nana
Kee Kee (the cat)
Uh Oh
That's about it. Lots of babbling.
My dd is 9 months and babbles constantly. She does say mum mum, mama, dada, addy, all of which sound like words. But she doesn't always say them in context, so I'm not counting them yet (rightly or wrongly I don't know). She also makes a babble speech and then looks at me and waits for a response, so she is saying something, but I've no idea what!
like others havbe said, dont worry they talk when they are ready and your probably find lo will be more advanced in one area than another. i mean lizzie was proper walking at 10 months!
