Does she say enough words?

My baby just turned one the 4th, and I'm not sure if she is on the right track for her age as far as how many words she says. She knows ma-ma, da-di, inx (for Jinx, our cat's name), eat, nana, papaw, and yay. I know people who's one year olds say spongebob, santa, bed, bear, and other simple words that Kallee doesn't say. Am I just worried for nothing, or if she is a lil behind, how can I help her along other than what I already do, say them over and over, and talk to her all the time, telling her what everything is? Thanks!

People exaggerate all the time. Your daughter is doing fine.

She says more than my 2 year old

DS is 15 months and all he says is vroom vroom. I think your daughter is doing just fine lol.

Oh, I'm not around enough babies to compare. Thanks for the chill pill. Also, she only says stuff when she wants to, I can't get her to 'upon request', any suggestions?

I would love for her to say vroom vroom! That is soo cute!

My son can say "mama", he growls like a Dino, and pants like a dog. I think your LO is alright. Lol. Oh, he is 13 months

Every kid is different. Just keep talking to her like you do, and read a lot.

My brother hardly talked at all until he was almost 3- my mom would beg him to say something, so that she would know what he wanted. Now he's totally fine, but never shuts up  

All babies are different and progress differently. My nephew said less that you LO at 2yrsold. But my says says more than that and he's 16 months. Your daughter is fine. She actually says more than most of the babies I know in person.

Well I appreciate the info, all the doc would say is does she say 2-16 words?? I thought that was a pretty wide spectrum, so I wasn't sure.

The only thing my now 10 yr old said.at 1 was Diablo lol no lie.

She used to.scream it out constantly at.random times. Lol she did speach classes at 14 months and we found out she could say a ton, but was too lazy to talk. Lol

She is fine

Lol, I think Kallee does it just to have me tell people she says stuff, but when they try to get her to she looks atem like they're crazy, and the people look at me like, yeah suuure.

Every kid seriously develops at their own pace. My two kids are night and day.

With DS, I would constantly read to him while he sat in his Bumbo. Each night, I read at least 5 books to him and talked to him all the time because I heard it helps with speech and stuff. At 12 months, he had no words and at 2 years, he had 2-5 words. He had a speech delay and now at 3 1/2, it's gotten better and he is talking in sentences, but I think he has a speech impediment. I have to call his pedi real soon. What helped him develop his speech was being around other children.

With DD, on the other hand, has been an early talker. I hate to admit it, but I rarely read to her. I'm terrible, I know. I did talk to her a lot, though and she had her older brother talking to her too. At 12 months, she was saying 16 words and she turned 2 last month and she is speaking in 5-7 word sentences.

Obviously my 3 year's thinking/vocab is more in depth than the 2 year old, but kids really do learn at their own pace and in different ways.
