is any baby/s saying any words yet?

[breathing for two]

nothing. Every now and then something will slip out. But nothing consistent.

Lucius has said "hi" repeating after me. But he hasn't said it on his own.

I am not so sure its words other than I would like to believe it is. She babbles... lots of mamamamamama's and dadadadadada's.

All of these posts are honestly making me feel like Beau is way behind everyone else. He doesn't crawl, doesn't even really try to sit on his own, doesn't stand. He's not close to saying any words. He usually just grunts and goes "Uhhhhh!" all day long. (Although he sometimes does yell "Ama! Ama! Ama!" if he's crying really hard). He's one of the oldest babies in the playroom, but sometimes it seems like he's one of the youngest.

Charlie never said any words, either, though, until he was 18 months. And now his speech is perfectly fine. So maybe my babies just take a bit longer to develop than everyone else.

I think it's more of a sign of a cautious baby than a delayed one. It could be so many things, like body type, or preference, or personality.
My two year old still isn't talking, and it can be really hard to get excited about new things when you feel like they're behind. I'm just starting to learn to put my worry on the backburner and enjoy the now with her, and the new things, even though everyone else was doing them half a year ago.
That's probably the bad thing about these playrooms too, it's very easy to start comparing.

Oh yeah the comparing!! Its the worst part for sure, especially if your LO seems behind but the truth is 7 months is super early for crawling and talking. Beau seems just fine to me! Lilly doesn't even like to roll. She can do it, I have seen her, but she will scream and yell until you roll her over before she will even bother doing it herself. She doesn't like to open her mouth for babyfood. She doesn't say anything except mama while babbling occasionally. She doesn't really sit. She surely isn't interested in pulling herself up or standing on her own. And she is a happy healthy sweet perfectly normal baby. Don't let this comparing stress you out. If your doctor was concerned, you would know.
