There's a chart he http://www.asha.org/speech/developme..._hear_talk.cfm . It doesn't mention answering to one's name -- my guess (which is just a guess, I have no education in this area beyond reading baby books and such) is that babies probably can recognize their names before they really have the skills together to show that they do. At any rate they would surely know their names by the age that they can follow simple verbal commands, seems to me. --Helen |

For anecdotal evidence, my first babbled da-da-da on his 5-month birthday. My third did it a couple of days after his 7-month birthday. My second was in between. All boys, fwiw. Their overall expressive language development followed this pattern, perhaps coincidentally: the first was the earliest, the second a bit later, and the third the latest. However, at 2.5yo even the last is now at or above average, though he lagged a lot up until just a couple of months ago. I don't have any records on when any of them started responding to their names. It can be kind of hard to tell. (Try saying something else in the same tone as you usually use for her name, and see if she responds the same way....) --Robyn (mommy to Ryan 9/93 and Matthew 6/96 and Evan 3/01) |

I didn't hear anyone ask when babies usually start reciting soliloquies. :-P --Robyn |

You may start hearing the consonants and such any time. I think the
main babbling my girls did was "ungee" when they were excited until about 8 months. My son is 10 months and he is making the consonants with some compexity in variety. I think his first word is "more." He yells "mo, mo" at meals when he is waiting for a bite of food. Language delvelopment varies a lot though. Our first daughter was a very late talker. I made her a word book using pictures of all of the things around our house that she interacted with. I put the word that we wanted to use for the object on the picture and put them all in a little one page per photo album. She learned a lot going through it and it helped us when we had visitors to have them in the book too. Karen |
