Talkative Baby
Posted by Diana on Thursday Jan 6, 2011 Under Baby ActivitiesI’m proud to announce that my baby’s first word was Mum at five and a half months old.
I was preoccupied organising baby’s clothes when she loudly, clearly and intentionally said “Mum”. I ran to her cot, picked her up and asked her to say it again. She gave me a broad smile, as if to say, I’ll be using that word when I need to get your attention and continued playing with her toys.
The next word proclamation was Dad at 6 months old. This time it was 3am and again we were preoccupied, this time trying to sleep (funny that). Of course this word was met with big cuddles and encouragement from Dad.
Yesterday, while staying at Grandma’s house, baby decided it was time to impress Grandma. While baby was getting ready for her bath, she said the word “clap” and began clapping her hands! Well of course that received a standing ovation from myself and Grandma. I think baby is starting to understand the power of her speech and the positive reinforcement it receives.

As my two were learning to speak I found it a lot of fun seeing how many words they could copy, ‘josie/anders, can you say….’ its amazing seeing your babies suddenly become real little people who can communicate. From birth up to five years is when children take many languages easily in,so if your lucky enough to know more than one language pass this gift on to your child, they’ll thank you for it later in life, I know it’s been great to see my two mastering two languages: )
