Babbling
Does your lo do the repetitive babbling thing, gagaga or dadada and so on? When did they start to do it?
Beth is just over 7 months. she babbles and gurgles away quite happily with lots of different noises, but nothing like this so far. I know all los develop at different rates, but I thought she 'should' be doing it by now? Just after a bit of reassurance really!

If your lo is making noises like gurgles and babbles then do not worry at all! Try talking to her as much as possible saying mama & dada etc and she will start to copy you very soon. Then the squealing will start once she really finds her voice which is fun in the middle of the supermarket!!!!
He even said hello on Sunday after we were saying over and over to each other in silly voices (made us laugh more than anything!) then he said it again today but clearly has no idea what he's on about! Honestly it started sounding like proper words almost over night-it was really odd!
Poor old Alf has me chatting on at him all day and he loves singing too. Forgot to say he's 8 months today!
Sounds like Beth is already well on the way to chatting on to everyone in the supermarket! x
He's 6 monts btw - try not to worry i'm sure there's loads of things your lo can do that other babies can't! xx
I wouldnt worry she is still young, and babies are all so different!
Amber has been saying dada for a couple of weeks now she says it all the time! She has said mam about twice and poo a few times lol!! She was 6months on the 12th.
I dont think it will be long till she is saying recognisable words, I do think its funny though that babies say boo boo and other things all the time yet we never say its their first word but as soon as a daaa daa or maamaa comes along thats a word hehe!!!

They're all so different. I know Los who hardly babble at all and they are older than 7 months.
cause i say hello to her when i go to her in the morning, it sounds like she is saying it to. you can see her trying to get the toungue in the right posiotion
JamDonut- you are so right about babies all being different. Beth is pretty much the opposite of Oscar, she is always on the move but much slower with 'talking'. And she can't sit unaided yet which most babies I know of her age have been doing for a while. I guess they all use their energy in different directions, like you say they will all get there eventually.
