First word...

Jude said his first word yesterday.

We think.

It was his first controlled word. Instead of being 'ba ba ba ba ba ba ba' like it has been all week.

Dan and I have been waiting for this moment for months. Dan had been prepping our little boy 'say Da da!', Teagan has been saying 'say Teag-y'... and I've been saying 'where's mama?!' Hehe. Poor baby. Ok. I also have added 'where's Dada?'... a little bit more than I wished to... perhaps out of guilt for those strong competitive urges to want both kids to say my word first ;)

Yes, Teagan's first word was 'MAMA' so naturally I was as pleased as punch. And secretly wishing Jude would follow suit.

The suspense.

Til yesterday.

I was downstairs. Dan was upstairs with Jude. I hear clearly 'ba ba ba ba ba... ma ma!'... Dan yells down 'did you hear that?!' I DID! I WON... Dan starts to encourage Jude to say it again. A short pause after, I hear 'da da!' NOOOO. Teehee. Serves me right.

So there we have it. The cheeky monkey has pleased us BOTH in a matter of a minute.

Adorable. Today, Teagan said 'Mummy, Jude said CAR'.

I didn't hear it. I hear VA.

I don't mind. He says Mama now.

And Dada.

Easily pleased.
