We chat all day - she makes noises and sounds and chats to us and to herself but barely says anything clear other than, dada, mama and baba...even then it's kinda touch and go!!! She makes dog noises and kissing sounds but that's about it. She didn't really start babbling until late - 9 mthsish, but walked at 10 1/2 mths so I think maybe she has been more active than chatty! Don't stress too much - they all develop at their own pace!!
