RE: replying speech survey

[Guest guest]

Kristy,

I guess I am one of the 600 e-mails you haven't received. I am happy to fill out

a survey but my son is only 9 months. So I don't know what I could possible say.

He babbles but he doesn't say words. Is he supposed to? My older son didn't

really talk much until later, maybe one or so. I have yet to see any ST or have

one mentioned by any of the doctors. WHen should this be evaluated?

Trista, 3yrs and 9 months mds.

have to weed through them.

would show her stuff and say, what is this. Well, we came to the fruit, and held

up an apple, and said, " ME, what is this? " She said, " Bapple. " Then we held up a

banana, same question, reply, " Nana " Then on to the orange, and her reply, " Shi* "

And now, when ever we ask her if she wants one, or what it is, she says, shi*.

Hubby has apologized, and hopefully we will put an end to this. LOL. But your

story reminded me of a word we missed on our list. LOL. Diane

I have the same question as Trista. Lily is only 7 1/2 months. She

was saying Mum mum mum and Dadadadada and Bababab at 6 months but it

only went on for 3 weeks and now it's only constant gurgling. I don't

know if this can't tell you any thing at this stage. Do you consider

her too young for any reliable information?
