My son started singing first. Then single words came, and now there are sentences mixed with non comprehensible gibberish. It's important to be patient. Also, not using baby talk. One word statements are fine. So are repeated single words (i.e. night-night, eat-eat, etc) Good luck!
Take it a day at time.I know Kat really started repeating words after watching music videos singing along and her kid movies.Super Simple Sings on YouTube and Barney movies are big in our house !!
flashcards, early learning songs, early learning DVDs, Brainy Baby, etc.
