first words?

how do you define LO's first word? Have any of your kiddos said any yet? What were they?

Re: first words?
I think LO is getting close to saying "ball"-- she says "bah" when she wants her ball, and goes and gets it.
She copies a whole bunch of other words, but I don't think she knows what they mean yet. I'm trying to figure out if "bah" counts as a first word, or if I need to wait until she is better at pronunciation and uses it universally for all balls rather than just her favorite taggie balls...
And she's said "aldo" for "all done" a couple of times when she is done eating, but still not consistent at this, so it is hard to tell when it is deliberate...

I'd say that counts as ball if it's intentionalHe won't say "papa" or "dada" though. FI is still not very happy about this haha. Poor guy.
We are also in the jibberish category. She's got mama, dada, and bubba. I think she's getting dog but it comes out like do or ga.
Last weekend I taught her a trick, since I know she can say mama pretty well, I would ask her "Who am I" and she would say mama. i knew she didn't associate me with mama, DH thought it was cute, then he said "Who am I' and she said mama.
Her babbling has gotten so much cuter. She will hold things up for you to look at and jabber at you about it. Its like she's having a conversation with you. (And I usually pretend I know what she's saying and respond)

Ellie says Mama, Dada, dog, hi, dance, done (as in all done), Bubba (our dog), go. They all have clear meaning and are used correctly, like she will hear the dog barking and call dog or when the dog hangs out under the high chair she says go.
They both sign though and do eat, milk, and all done. I am working on more and drink.

Lots of gibberish here, too. I think "dada" is going to be his first word.
He'll copy anything you say, and I always say "dada" and point at him when we're around DH, so I think he's picking up on it.
"A new baby is like the beginning of all things--wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities."
Like others that's all we have verbally except for baby gibberish. Lol. He follows a ton of oral directions and such. Get the ball, where's daddy, get your cup, and many more. He does sign a bunch now though. Signs milk, momma, daddy, dog, more, drink, all done, ball, fish, and cat. I'm amazed at the signing to be honest. Fascinates me how they learn language!
