A. Real words can come anytime between 9 and 14 months. This isn't the case for all babies though, some don't say a word that is recognisable until they get to about 18 months yet others can communicate recognisable words such as 'ba-ba' for bye-bye, 'da' or 'da-da' for dad (or dog!) from as young as 7 months.
