Fun fact: babies are more able to learn the names of objects

Research shows us that, universally, babies have a greater ability to learn the names of objects rather than verbs. So, why does your baby learn certain words before others?

Of course, all babies are different, and yours will learn particular words based on what they see and experience on a regular basis. But, according to research, babies, on average, have a greater ability to learn the names of objects than action or performing words.

This is because your baby has developed a concept of an object and only needs to match the word to that object, so the words connected with the noun are easier to learn. Verbs can be used in a variety of ways, and your baby will take longer to memorise and apply them correctly.
