Baby Center noted that just before your toddler officially begins to speak, they will start using a few words meaningfully. For some toddlers, words like “ball” or “up” may be their only words, but they are passing a message to you. Saying “ball” may indicate they want to play with it. “Up” can mean that they want to be held high or carried. When they start to say meaningful words, they are no longer babbles but actual words in your child’s vocabulary.
