What was the first word of your baby?

My nephew's first words were Hi and Uh-oh... he's incredibly outgoing and accident prone, as I'm sure you can tell. My son's first word was Mada, which is what he yells when he wants me. I like it, Mada.

Ma (mum) hehe. Felt so happy. I hope she can speak well later.

Dada was the first word that my son said LOL I'm sure it was mama but I was mistaken!

(Sigh!!)... both my children didn't say mama first... it was aaathai... and then thatha....thatha... the first means aunt and the second means grandfather. According to our tradition those are the first words that should be spoken by children(that's what my MIL told me anyway.. don't know if others practice the same way ;)). But the funny thing is I didn't teach my second one who is now 10 months old to say anything. He said it himself(how I wish I had taught him to say 'mama' first.. LOL). Anyway, my father-in-law is delighted to hear him say thathathatha whenever we chat with him online. Glad atleast they have something to feel good about although they have not been yet able to hold their grandson in their arms.

baby always said mama at first because mama always beside them. Mama give them bath, mama give them milk and feed them, give them sleep, story to them ,talk and play together.
