10-12m boys- Words?

How many words are your boys saying at this point? DS only says "Dada", but he usually just babbles it, not saying it in reference to DH.

I'm trying not to compare him to my DD who had 10 words at 12m. She's always been a talker.

Eli says "Dadda", "Momma", "Hi", and "Yeah" and he just turned 10 months. I know he references "Hi" as he will say it to people when he sees them. The rest it is hard to tell, I think he does reference dadda and momma, but does babble them too at the same time.

I'm not sure DS has any words and he's 10 months.  He babbles a lot and says "dada", but not really to DH.  I THINK he says Hi, but I'm not sure.  He's always had this grunt that sounds like "hey" or "hi" and I've noticed when you walk into a room or when I pick him up for daycare, he does it.  I'm not sure if he's actually saying Hi...or just grunting :)

LO can say "Mamma," "Dadda/y," "Yeah," and "Yay." The only one that fits the context is the occasional "Yay." Everything else is dumb luck. He has no clue what they mean. He's trying to get "Uh, oh," but regularly forgets the "oh" part.

Not a boy, but DD2 will be 10 months tomorrow, and all she says is mama and dada. Not in the least bit concerned.

My son babbles tons of different stuff and does look at my husband and say dadda but I'm not sure he "gets" it. He seems to understand words like doggy, kitty, no, mommy and daddy but doesn't say them yet.

I wouldn't say DS has many words beyond mama and dada. He does sign milk, more and please (the only three signs I do regularly!).

He babbles constantly. He also regularly says, rahrah, lala, baba, mummum, nahnah, uhhh, oh! 

It is not always clear what his words mean. For instance, dada means daddy, but also 'that over there' and 'hey look at that dog'.

Mama is in reference to me, nursing, 'i've bumped my head and need a cuddle', 'more of that'.

Wow! Connor says the exact same words and he just turned 10 months today

That's a good point about receptive language. He seems to understand a few words as well. (Daddy, Mommy, lovey, eat, Cheerios, milk, Sophie)

Thanks for your input, everyone!

Dadda, Babba, Mamma

Sometimes Mamma and Babba sound really similar.

Other things he picked up at school. Hey and Hi.

By the age of 12 months, babies should have a vocabulary of about 2-6 words. Keep in mind that they mostly babble at this point, babbling should be using different vowel consonant forms (baby, gada, etc) as well as the same (ex: mama, dada). At 18, it should be increased to approximately 50 words. Don't necessarily worry just yet. Keep talking to your baby and naming people and objects constantly. I'm a pediatric speech therapist. Hope I helped a bit. :)

DS is almost 10 months and says bath, bye, book, mama and (rarely) hi.  He definitely knows what they mean.  Bath and book sound similar but there's a difference to me at least.  He understands lots of other words like kitty, daddy, outside and swing.

Thank you!

And also, this weekend DS is making a fool out of me and started saying a new word- DOG! (My sister got a new puppy :) )
