- Birth: Cries, burps, sneezes, coughs.
- 2 months: Vowel-like sounds: goo, aah, ooh, and others.
- 4 - 6 months: Babbling (“mammama”…“dada”).
- 9 - 12 months: Advanced babbling, with sentence-like phrasing and rhythm.
- 12 months: Around one year old, your child will say his or her first real word. He or she will start with single syllables, then may double some syllables, as in “wawa” or “mama.” Your child will continue to say only one word at a time for several more months.
- 18 - 24 months: Between a year and a half and two years old, your child will begin to talk in
“telegraphic speech.” This sounds like, “Want cookie” or “Me milk.” You can
extend your child’s talk by saying, “You want a cookie?” or “You want me to give
you some milk?” This will help increase your child’s vocabulary.
Five Fingers Rhyme
Five fingers on this hand,
Five fingers on that.
A dear little nose,
A mouth like a rose.
Two eyes, two ears,
And ten little toes,
And that’s the way the baby grows.
What Do We Do? Rhyme
What do we do when baby wakes up?
We laugh and play to start the day,
And clap, clap, clap our hands.
We clap, clap, clap our hands.
We clap, clap, clap our hands.
We laugh and play to start the day,
And clap, clap, clap our hands.
