Tell me if you think this is weird. My daughter is six months old and she is starting to talk. She says Grandpa, jump and her brother's name. Is this too young?

my son was starting to say words at that age too, but then slowed down for a few months and picked up again, they go in cycles.

I think it's to early to begin talking. My son said the first words when he was a year.

Face it, she's one smart cookie. Start reading to her, and getting her to talk more. You'll be surprised at what you hear.

6 months seems kinda early to me, but I don't see why that would be wrong or TOO young. Like someone else said, babies develop at their own paces. My nieces and nephews didn't start talking until... well, they all started talking at different points, but I think the youngest was... somewhere between 18-20 months, I think. I wouldn't be worried about it. I think it's a GOOD thing!

Well, all children develop at their own paces. My daughter couldn't say anything at 6 months old except for bable. My daughter is now 10 months old and she can really only say DaDa.

No it's not too young. My son said da da when he was four months old. Some children pick up some skills better than others. It's great to hear that though because maybe she'll be advanced in some things like my son.

I think it really just depends on the child. I also think it has to do with how much you say the words to them or how much they hear them. My son is three months old and just turned it last week. About two or three weeks ago he was laying in his bed and started to cry. My husband and I were sitting on the couch wating tv and all of a sudden he said dada. Well, now he says it all the time along with a few other words I am constiantly saying like hungry he will say huggy and good and nap for when he wants a nap. he also says mean which he I guess he picked up from our friends son who he spends a lot of time with. He is also trying to say mama now. I could not believe this the forst time I heard it but he has said some of them at the docs office in front of him and he just lookied and said better watch what your saying in front of him he is picking up the words that you repeat alot awfully well.

children develop at different rates, so if she is talking at an early age, that is great.

All babies talk at different ages and while 6 months is a bit young it is not all that unusual. I know others that have told me that their baby's talk at a very young age. Some babies walk or talk early and ohters do not. In the end, I don't think it makes a lot of difference at what age one learns to talk or walk. We all wind up doing it at some age or another.

Not at all too young I would say. My two year old has a better vocabulary then my six year old. She picks up sooooooo much from her brother and sister. Well and us adults too. She has a drive to learn all she can. She will learn all you will teach her. She already knows most of her ABC's and Numbers to 15. And she doesn't just say them, you can start them and stop. She will pick up where you left off and go with it.
