my nephew just said his first words last week . how exciting ! i remember when my girls said their first words ! what was his first word do you know ? he was saying da da , so we count that as dad . i love that little guy . yeah , that seems to be what a lot of little ones say for their first word . something about it being easier than ma ma - congrats to the little tyke !
The child's first attempt at saying "dad" triggered the feeling of pride.
