The sounds your baby is making are words to the baby. We just don't understand them. Their sounds (words) become understandable (to some extent) when they are about one year old.

I have always been fascinated by language (just as well, because that is my profession), and I became entranced by an infant's attempt at speech. I thought each of my successive children was more clever in this regard than the one before when, in reality, I had become more focused on their efforts. The first word I recognized (by working the sounds backwards from recognizable to unrecognizable) was "mama." At about two or three months the baby clamps his lips together and says, "mmmmmm."

Many years ago, on shipboard, I made friends with an Indian lady. We both had infant girls. Mine was seven weeks and hers was about a month older. We sat together and traded babies delighted at the differences between them. She asked me if my baby spoke. I was shocked and said she was too young. (This was my first baby.)

Then the Indian lady started talking to my baby to get her attention. When my baby was looking at her the lady leaned over and said "ooo." My baby frowned. The lady repeated the sound. My baby tried to say it, but it came out "eee." The lady placed her finger on my baby's chin and held it down lightly so it wouldn't close. She said "ooo" again and my daughter said "ooo."  What was remarkable was the intense effort on the part of my little girl to make the sound. She knew exactly what she was doing and it was very hard.

Yes, your baby is speaking.

As mentioned above, at 6 months it is way to young to expect a baby to 'talk', some start to say their first word after the age if 1. Every child develops differently.

Does she weigh 6500 grms? What is her length?

She is too young to talk other than the kind of utterings you describe, as for weight, I only know lbs but will take a guess you think she is underweight, what are you feeding her, at 6 months she can have breast or bottle formula, and also be on some cereals usually a good start is a rice cereal mixed with a little moms milk or formula .If you go to a clinic have a word about your concern over her weight. Good Luck let us know how she is doing ...

Babies can't and don't say words at 6 months, they only make noises.  She will talk when she's ready, and if you are concerned about her weight or anything else, talk to her pediatrician about it.
