A member asked:

My 10.5 mth old is already trying to talk. i said " i love you "& she is is definitely trying to say it.she tries to say alot if i repeat it but she also been saying stuff i have said without repeating it so she is remembering things.typical for age?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: There is a difference between a kid parroting an expression (I love you) and them forming distinct words to which they understand & know the meaning. Mimicking speech is part of how they learn both the rhythm and tonality of words. Timing is right for this at 10-12 mo. It is a wonderful stage but I wouldn't start preparing for genius level expectations at this point.
