Mamama

first word when he woke up this morning! And all day yesterday!

It was the first word for all 3 of mine too

Wow! Already?? I thought that was still like months away.. (I might need to pick up that birth to one year book I have laying around). That's awesome! I'm pretty sure DD's will be Dada, she adores him.

I had a dream last night that LO spoke not her first word, but her first sentence. She said "That's pretty neat."

IRL I would be excited to hear "mama" first, not gonna lie.

I'm pretty sure my kiddo's first word will be "bullshit." Or "Kodi" (the dog).

I swear I've heard my LO say mama and mum but I think I'm just hearing things lol!!!

When my LO cries and DH is holding him he always "says" mamamama but I thought this was just a coincidence?

I think it's still to early for word association. They are discovering consonant sounds, so there will likely be a lot of mamamama dadadada but not necessarily an association between word and person

When my DS whines it sounds like he's saying "Amie" much to my best friends delight!

Onelovelyginger · September 2014

Yeahhh that's kinda what I thought!

This!

Its definitely cute but I don't count first words until they are actually associating the word with the object/person. DS has been saying mama/muma when he cries since he was about a month old...but its not his "first" word yet.

Yeah true first words are still months off. It's fun to hear them make consonant sounds, but it doesn't really count from a developmental standpoint unless it's said in context regularly.

It's what is considered canonical babbling at this point

but yay for consistent noises nonetheless!

Without a doubt her first words are going to be, "Bruce! No!" - what we yell at the dog 24/7.

I tell people DS's first words will be GD dog! Because that's what I yelled frequently during pregnancy

DD1s first word was "Cat" for likely the same reason.

My little sister's first word was Damn it. My parents never cuss, she heard it on My Fair lady

OP if you are curious about this there are a lot if really good child development books out there that might give you a clue as to when to really expect first words and other developmental milestones.
