Hi momma, its good of she is repeating you. She is learning new words. babies need lot of undivided interest and interactive play from you. Talk a lot to baby and use animated voices. Even reading news or narrating your daily tasks helps. Read board books together, do finger painting, touch and feel and flip books, stacking and sorting toys, simple wooden puzzles, write letters or shapes in sand and play, blocks, musical instruments like drums, tricycle, pull along toy. Even give him some utensils and spoons to make noise. Make sure your home is baby proof and bathroom door is closed at all times and let child explore. Just narrate your day and everything you do, and read read read.

Remember that kids can hear you and are listening even if they're not sitting still or making eye contact with you.

Lots and lots of reading, get some posters with shapes or colours to look at and point out what they are. After a while you can ask “what’s this shape?” Same with toy animals in the bath or just playing in general. With everything they do, you can tell them why it is, what they are doing, eating etc, and ask them to repeat it back to you..

Narrate everything you’re doing and your child is doing. Sing songs, read books. Talk about pictures. Give your child wait time. Talk about what your child was trying to communicate. “I see you’re pointing at the milk. Do you want the milk? Yes, you want the milk.  I want milk!”

Listening to songs are great and singing. Maybe he's going to get his voice through music. Vocabulary comes through stories, reading, songs, pictures. Use something he likes and tell him ALL about it. You don't have to feel behind. Every child is different and develop at their own pace.

Play peek a boo, make sounds of cars, animals.

Rhymes and story books..try pausing for the last word in the sentence..let him complete it. Toddlers sometimes can choose to not respond if they are engrossed in their activities.

Its good to reduce screen time. Keep meal time as family/circle and conversation time.
