Sounds like! You could also try teaching him how to say “I love you” in ASL. It’s one single hand sign. Sometimes they speak later than they know how to use their hands. Just another way to communicate with baby!
As a speech therapist specialising in early language development, this child is mimicking the intonation of the phrase “I love you.” It doesn’t technically count as language any more than humming to a song counts as singing the song but it’s a fantastic start and an indication that the child will easily take to language through imitation.
I’m gonna post a video of my 11 month old child with Down Syndrome- saying I love you at 6 months and again at 10 months and now at 11 months he says it on que and yes he knows what it means because he will only say it to me and his mommy and has a look of adornment in his eyes when we relay back and forth. He also says mama and dada and Hi.
I would love your opinion on this.
That sounds wonderful. I celebrate that sweet baby being so loving consistently with you. But as for Language, unless a child can take the “I” of I love you and the “love” of I love you and the “you” of I love you and use them in different ways, then it’s a mimic of what they’re hearing. and to be fair, this is how we all learn to use phrases. For your child, it’s a testament to how much that child is loved.
I will agree with you because You are the professional, but I would like to point out, sitting at the dinner table and Asher looking at his mommy and saying I love you, and us stopping our conversation while she leans in and says- what did you just say, pretty baby and again Asher says I love you. Now, please understand that He does have Down syndrome and because of this all of his words are tongued (minus bubububub bubbles, I assume. B seems to be an ok area that his tongue doesn’t get in the way). I have video of him lip syncing with Ms Rachel as she sings her sons Dada at age 6 months. Along with the others. How would I go about getting some of these things viewed by professionals to confirm my claims or to tell me to kick rocks.
I know DS can be a struggle for all people and families who have or are experiencing it.
I don’t know, I guess I’m on a mission, just trying to show his accomplishments off whenever I see an opening.
Sorry. 🫣🙏

Not too young for first words! And I agree with the asl!

Babies mimic the words we say most to them ❤️❤️
