"Mummy!"
Leo said his first word this morning, unexpectedly really; it caught us off guard. He was in his cot and his mother was tidying up his room a bit and he wanted to be picked up, when all of a sudden he came out with, “Mum”!
I was in the hallway and my wife yelled out to me to come in. I ran into the room and we both looked at each other in a bit of shock, and then at him. Leo was all cool and didn’t seem to realise the significance of it all. After a bit of coaxing, he said it another couple of times and we cheered him on. He liked that and gave a big grin.
Whilst this was unexpected, he has been making more noises of late and ‘talking’ a lot more. What was unexpected was it happening now, and him saying ‘Mum’. There’d been no practising of the ‘m’ noise at all, it just popped out.
I’m not at all offended at ‘Dad; not being his first word, doesn’t phase me at all. But I will be offering assistance at it being second word!
