Question: What are baby talk milestones?
Answer: Before babies learn to talk in a real language -- English, say, or Spanish -- they babble and coo, playing with sound. At 3 months, your baby listens to your voice, watches your face as you talk, and turns toward other voices, sounds, and music that can be heard around the home. By the end of three months, babies begin "cooing" -- a happy, gentle, repetitive, sing-song vocalization. Baby talk at 6 months. For example, your baby may say "ba-ba" or "da-da." By the end of the sixth or seventh month, babies respond to their own names, recognize their native language, and use their tone of voice to tell you they're happy or upset. After 9 months, babies can understand a few basic words like "no" and "bye-bye." Most babies say a few simple words like "mama" and "dadda" by the end of 12 months -- and now know what they're saying.

By age 2, babies string together a few words in short phrases of two to four words, such as " Mommy bye-bye" or "me milk." They're learning that words mean more than objects like "cup" -- they also mean abstract ideas like "mine." By the time your baby is age 3, his or her vocabulary expands rapidly, and "make-believe" play spurs an understanding of symbolic and abstract language like "now," feelings like "sad," and spatial concepts like "in."
