Oh, sure, you can toss off a nice "Mama" or "Dada" when you feel like it, but your REAL first word, and the word you prefer to use ninety percent of the time, is "This." As in: I want THIS or I’ve got THIS or THIS is mine. Such a useful word, adaptable to so many purposes.
THIS can’t be beat.

Have fun, but take...
that worked real well for my first born too.
Posted on March 3rd, 2007 at 12:28 pmOh, she is just beyond precious!
Posted on March 3rd, 2007 at 12:42 pmThe girls are reading over my shoulder and want me to tell you that Ramona’s first real, very clear word was, “MINE.”
Rilla is absolutely adorable!
Posted on March 3rd, 2007 at 4:24 pmSounds like she’s halfway there. One more word to go: THAT. Once she gets that one down, she need only learn to communicate her desire for THAT to become THIS. (And she can have it all!)
Posted on March 4th, 2007 at 9:10 amOh, that is one cute baby! And she’s in good company. Our third learned to say “this” waaaaayyyy before learning to say “mama.”

I don’t know about fifth children, but my third child’s first word was ‘more’!
Posted on March 4th, 2007 at 2:56 pmIt’s so amazing to me how kids first words so clearly reflect their realities!. Sean’s first word (pampered first born that he was!) was “baba” (yes, bottle). Cary’s, athletically inclined as he still appears to be was Ball (dad says it was footBALL).. and baby Kayleigh? At 11 mos., her word was “Hi”.. I think she’ll be a socialite of sorts!
Posted on March 4th, 2007 at 9:37 pmShe is so cute!
Posted on March 6th, 2007 at 5:20 amShe is such a doll!!
Posted on March 6th, 2007 at 1:30 pmMy fifth child’s word is “other”, as in not that one- the “other” one. Or as in not what you want to give me- the “other” one I shouldn’t have!

Posted on March 9th, 2007 at 2:37 pmJust adorable, I must say.
Posted on March 20th, 2007 at 8:59 pmIs that pronounced “this?” or “dis”?
