Describe the sequence of language development in children

At birth and for the first month, infants show crying as their prelinguistic form of
communication. At around 12 weeks of age, infants add cooing to their repertoire.
Cooing incorporates vowel sounds as well as gurgling and squealing. Babbling, which
incorporates consonants, appears around 6 months of age. Single words, such as mama
and ball, appear at the first birthday, but anytime between 8 and 18 months of age is
developmentally appropriate. At 18 months of age, the child knows anywhere from 3-
50 words. By the time they are 2 years old, they will know more than 50 words and
will be spontaneously creating two-word sentences. Although the sequence of events
in language development is fairly similar across children, the age at which children
develop these language skills can vary
