"Talking" together ???
Caroline and Alexandre (7 months) don't use words yet.I know Alexandre can
say "mummy" and "daddy" because when he's scared of something, like when he sees new people, he calls us (mostly me, lol), but he doesn't use words...Caroline hasn't really said anything yet. She babbles a lot though. I noticed that when they are in their cribs, they seem to communicate, using certain sounds that must be words to them. It is weird. I'd read about such things, but I have to see things to believe ! Anyone experienced this with their twins ??? My first daughter started using language at about 6 months. She could say daddy mummy and "more" (greedy little thing) at this age.I think they could do, but just don't want to do it. Sophie |

Anyone experienced this with their twins ??? Yep. Mom's journal is full of stories of my sister and I "talking" to each other in "paragraphs" that she didn't hear any words in. (It started before we actually babbled (no syllables) - but after we were crawling.)

Hi Sophie! Yep, Anna and James also babble to each other. Especially in
the morning when they wake up. I think it's so cute when one wakes up first and yells for the other. They don't really say anything distinguishable, but they are communicating. Leann |

too Sophie "Leann and Donald" a écrit dans le message de news: ... Hi Sophie! Yep, Anna and James also babble to each other. Especially in the morning when they wake up.

My twins still do that at 22 months. I hear them in the morning &
after naptime talking to each other. They can speak now, but they still babble without real words to each other. I signed with them starting at 9 months, and they sign to each other too. Usually in the high chair, but now that they are older it has come out during playtime too. DS doesn't talk nearly as much as DD, so she will "talk" and he will "sign" & they have little conversations. Karleen (New to Group) DS: Dec 2001 B/G twins: Feb 2004 |

I've never end had time to start signing with DD#1 because she said her
first words at 6 months, and had quite a few at about 8 months. But with my twins this is something I may consider. DS wants to "talk" though, he says "Mummy" and "Daddy" so that's not bad, but DD#2 doesn't. Sophie "KHarpMOM" a écrit dans le message de oups.com... My twins still do that at 22 months.

Sophie,
A & A most certainly used "twin talk" and still do. They have words that they have made up to talk to each other and when they were infants, we would hear them on the monitor talking for hours! They still do! My identical twin cousins had "twin talk" for YEARS, up until school age! The bond between twins, even fraternal, is more amazing than we will ever know! ~Megan~ Mommy to 3 year old twins, Aidan & Alexis |

"Talking" together ???
I am new to this group. I have almost three year old b/g twins named
Marcus and Morgan. They are currently enrolled in a preschool program through our school district which specializes in speech therepy(sp). Anyway, because my twins have speech delays I may have seen alot more twin talk. They get very involved with each other. Just recently they have really started playing pretend together; things like house or cars or such. I hear them communicate with each other. They have created their own language with each other so that although they have trouble with the language that is in the home they can communicate with each other. Oh, and by the way it is not just with twins. Their brother is 4 and he communicates this way as well. Not as much, but some. My twins do say some words. I can understand them much more than anyone else, even their dad and other siblings. They have not moved to mulitiple word phrases yet but are working on it. I would not worry yet. Your twins are still young and may not feel the need to talk too much yet.

"Talking" together ???
Oh can I relate. My boys (the triplets are GBB) have been in speech
therapy since right before they turned 4. I think that what I called "triple talk" to fit my situation, had a lot to do with this. Ashley never needed speech and started talking before the boys did - real talking. The boys were "lazy talkers" when they started talking. They wouldn't sound out all of the parts of a word and just abbreviate words with not only each other, but everyone. The older they got, the more this becamse a habit and they stuck with it. Substituting some sounds for other sounds. Then this is what "stuck". At 4 it was plain and clear that it wasn't going to stop. Our speech therapist said that this is common with multiples. She has g/b twins a year younger than my three and she knew from past experience what to look for. Matthew is almost out of speech therapy, in fact, I had to beg to keep him in it this year, as she was ready to release him at the end of kindergarten. He had some "fine tuning" that needed to be worked on and won't be in it next year. Brandon on the other hand, had a lot more problems going into speech, in that he had numerous ear infections which resulted in fluid on his ears and then tubes, which fell out within a month of him getting them. His speech was hurt by talking like what he hear - like with fluid on his ears. Say it like you hear it right? He did and we have really had to work with him. Brandon had a studder we had to work through too. He will be in it at least another year. They have come SO FAR. I am so proud of them. I don't know if this has helped at all, or if I am just rambling at this point, lol. Tonya Mommy to Ashley, Matthew and Brandon - GBB Triplets - 6 1/2 years old. |

My girls (who will be 1 year old on the 20th!) babble to each other. It
started as individual sounds initially, but now it's in "phrases", will certain inflections much like our speech. They love to have meetings at the end of their cribs after naptime or in the morning where they "talk" about all sorts of things. DH and I call it, "meeting at the water cooler". Watching them interact with each other is one of my very favorite things about having twins. Chele :-) |
