Thanks to the applications that monitor the development of the baby, parents can keep a detailed track of their growth and those who like to have absolutely everything registered are very complete tools.
If a few days ago we told you that a mother had recorded how many minutes she had breastfed and how many diapers had changed her baby from birth to 14 months, now we bring you the story of a father who recorded the first words of his baby in graphics.
The baby's first words
In the graphics that the father shared through Imgur we can see that the development of the child's speech began at seven months with the first sounds, which are usually repetitions of syllables.
With all evolutionary milestones, although there is an average, in the acquisition of language each child has their own rhythm and should not be forced. His first words between 9 and 12 months were dad and mom, at 14 months, cat. At 16 months, and until 20, which is when the registration was finished, as if a pressure cooker was uncovered, he began to pronounce new words until he reached a vocabulary of around 100 words.
The first words have to do with what children experience and hear in their daily lives. As for the evolution of language, they first name people (mom and dad), animals, food, body parts, toys, objects, vehicles ...
It is believed that by 18 months, the baby will have acquired between 50 and 100 words, by 20 months 200 words, by 2 years between 400 and 600 words, and by 3 years about 1,500 words and is able to use phrases of three elements with a structure of name + verb + name (for example, "baby eats bread").
If the child does not strictly comply with these premises, it is also not a cause for concern. It can be said that the child takes time to start speaking when at 2 years he does not produce two-word sentences.
According to the father's account, each new word pronounced by the baby was registered not before being verified by both (father and mother) and would have been said within a context. In addition the pronunciation should be understandable by 75% to include it in the list.
