What is your baby’s comprehension like?

Question

So my LO just turned 1 this week and she doesn’t have any words yet. She babbles a lot and says mama and dada and other such things, but never with meaning. 
However, her comprehension level is amazing. I know she understands exactly what we’re saying and it’s like she’s learning new words everyday. For example, we ordered a new book for her today (Peekaboo flap book). We read it once and forgot about it. Few hours later I asked her to bring the Peekaboo flap book, she went into the other room and brought it to me. 
So while I’m starting to get a little anxious about her not saying a word yet, I’m wondering if her comprehension skills are on-par with her peer group. 
What are your kids like in this regard?

Answer

Same. We have a book which is a dictionary for babies and he can show me something when I ask: for exemple show me the blueberry! He knows 8 of them which is amazing to me!!!

Answer

I feel like my daughter also understands a lot, but babbles incomprehensibly. When we talk to her she looks at us at pays attention. We can tell her “go get your puppy” and she run to the dog. We can say “where’s mom?” and she will look at me, “where’s dad?” She looks at her dad, “where’s brother?” She looks at her brother. I this her comprehension is really good.

Answer

Baba, dada, mommom, dog, nonono, huh, yeah and that’s it

Answer

My son can say mama dada and his sisters name. He says nun nun for milk. Says oh for “uhoh”. Says woah woah. And “luh you” if we say “love you”. And then a whole lot of babbling and signing. Waves, claps, hands up, dances. He squeezes his hands when he wants more of something. Sometimes picks up an item we ask him to find. If I say “snacks” he runs to the pantry. 
My daughter at this age said several words. It’s hard not to compare and sometimes be concerned.

Answer

My daughter also only babbles. She was seen by a neurologist recently for something unrelated and he acted like she definitely should be talking and now I'm worried she's behind

Answer

I feel like my daughter is the opposite. She does comprehend a few things when I ask her questions. But sometimes I ask her to show me something or get something and she stares at me. On the other hand she can say over 10 words where I know what she is saying and so does she. She will ask for a snack by saying "nack" and heads to the kitchen, she can say "alk" and head to the door for a walk. So it may just be they pick up on certain things first. Like obviously she has to comprehend stuff to say it but won't point a bunch out when I ask if that makes sense.
