What Were Your First Words?

Post Reply New Topic

I was told that one of my first clear..non-babbling words was energy....but who knows?...

spoken..? not sure.. probily mumma or dadda... but it may have of been no

No one remembers what my first word was, or when I said it. :S Dad thinks it was late, but that's as specific as it gets.

My first sentence - "Don't rough it, live life in Comfort"! It was a fabric softener commercial from the early 90's.

My mum says it was most likely something like "dad."

G'day forum folks,

My 2 ASdian boys went along swimimingly with every thing for exactly 18 months saying a few words strung together. My oldest was well ahead with his milestones, then Bang everything shut down for a good 12 months in both of them. After about 12 months amazing language skills came rushing back, all this language all at once, not too sure how much they comprehended but thats another story........ The very first thing my youngest uttered after his return from beyound was while his Grandmother and I where driving along in the car with him, after we had been grocery shopping. Grandma was sitting next to him in the car which was her habbit. Without saying anything (because she didn't want me to know, because he was not suppose to eat it) she pulled a small chocholate bar out of her bag and was going to give my son some. Before she had finished opening and breaking a piece off to give him he said in a loud clear voice "Yuuuuum, I like choclate" We laughed clapped and cheered and I wept with joy (I had been so worried about his lost speech) The chocolate was worth it after all.

My oldest son was the same with language. His first words after his "return" was when he saw Coco, our dog standing outside the glass door waiting to be let inside he said "Mum Coco's hungry, let her in please". Come to think of it "Coco" was the first single word he uttered too, closely followed by "why"

Both of my boys have not taken a breath since. They even argue about who's turn to talk it is. LOL Even though totally appropriate and functional I some times wonder if this constant talking is a kind of stimming or is it just making up for lost time. LOL

Cheers

My first words, as documented in my baby book, were "shut up". Apparently I had rather sensitive ears even back then, or maybe I just heard it a lot, I am not sure....

"NO!"

Uncle.

I was at my grandma's place with my mom and my uncle.
And he always overpronounced "uncle".
Probably no speech delay.

Old post, I know, but this was my first word as well. I think it was pretty early, but I don't remember the exact age. I was so obsessed with cars; one thing I would do was make "traffic jams." I would line up my toy cars bumper-to-bumper throughout the whole house.

my first word was elicted by a child shrink who commanded me to speak. reverse psychology and all.

Apparently, my first word was "pig," said at age 5 1/2 at a research camp for people with "brain injuries."

Hello Dolly

They tell me that my first word was "AHOY!" which delighted my dad because he was in the Navy.

^^^ that's pretty advanced IMHO

My first words were "Juice" "Bunny" "Greg" and "Nice".

My first word was something like "Dada" when my dad used to walk into the room, but very shortly after, there was a time when my mom took me to a department store and I was sitting in the cart and my mom pulled out her wallet to pay and I said "Credit Card"
