    • Birth to 6 Months. Babies listen from day one. They learn to associate sounds with their sources, like barking with the family dog. Their first communication will be crying, but they'll soon start using their tongue, lips, and palate to make gurgles and long vowel sounds like "oo," "aa," and "ee"—precursors to those exciting first words.
    • 4 to 6 Months. Around 4 to 6 months, your baby's sighs will give way to babbling. You'll hear back-of-the-tongue consonant sounds, such as g and k, and lip sounds m, w, p, and b. Your baby will begin to focus on familiar words like their own name, or "mommy" and "daddy" as clues to help break up sentences.
    • 7 to 12 Months. Your child's babbling will begin to sound more like words. They'll intentionally repeat sounds (like "gaga") over and over. At about 9 months, they'll start to understand gestures, pointing and grunting to indicate their wants.
    • 13 to 18 Months. As soon as your baby says that first word, they'll try for more. Vocabulary builds slowly at first, with just a few words per month. Kids seem to prefer nouns, then gradually add verbs and adjectives.

By mimicking the sound of a smaller vocal tract, the researchers think, we're cluing babies in to how the words should sound coming out of their own mouths.
