Is it really possible that my sisters baby is talking so much?

Question

he is 12 months old and she says that he can say yes please and thank you and grampie and about 15 other words. I have never herd him say anything and am starting to think she is making it up. she has exaggerated his development before. I have never herd a 12 month old talk so many words before.

Answer 1

My niece is 12 months old and she's talking up a  storm.  She has about a 20 word vocabulary.

So, yes, it's possible.  It's early for talking, but totally possible.  

Answer 2

My neice will be 1 here n just a week and she can say alot of words. SOme babies talk a lot, while others talk very little. I dont know is shes making it up though.

Answer 3

yes it is and he may just do it around her bc hes shy around others

Answer 4

Does it really matter if she is making it up or not? Moms like to brag about what their children are doing. Let her know that you are proud of him- brag him up and talk about what a great child he is. It is very possible that he IS saying these things when he is most comfortable around here. Regardless, she is saying these things for a reason. She may feel like he's behind or that you think he's behind and no mom wants to feel like that.

Answer 5

Yes and no.  At 12 months, my daughter was only saying about 10 words & most of the time I was the only one that could understand her.  Even now at 2 years, I'm the only one that can understand about 1/2 of the words she says.

My daughter was & is shy and doesn't talk as much around other people or at places other than home.

So it's possible that your sister is telling the truth or maybe she's exaggerating.  There's really no way to know for sure unless you're around the kid 24/7.

Answer 6

Well my daughters 10mnths and for the past few mnths can say cat, dog, dad, mam, duck, na she cant say them perfect but when u ask her to say something she makes the same sound for that word...So if my daughter can 5 words then maybe he can but i would be surprised if he can say them perfect!! Maybe she just wants to be proud..dont judge thou she could be telling the truth
