It is always so cute to hear them say their first word! My son first said Woof (dog barking) but I think his first real word was Papa (french version of daddy) he has 2 languages so it is a constant mix actually, I am very proud his first word was daddy in his mummy's motherlanguage... ;) what about your children? what did they say first?

i hope i will have first kids next year, but i know some knowledge about baby,so..Your baby is learning from his first seconds out of the womb. He can hear your words, and starts relating them to things in his life. Within a few months he will start putting sounds together, trying to make words of his own, ask for things, or just talk to you. In the beginning and for at least the first year, most of what your baby “says” will not be understandable. There will be a lot of goo goo’s and ga ga’s coming from your baby’s mouth. Eventually though you will start to understand more of what your baby says, even if others don’t. Around six months you may hear your first “real” world. You may be listening in over your baby monitor, or hear your baby in the backseat of your car when you hear your baby say, “Dada”. You can proudly tell your baby’s father that his first word was ‘daddy’. For mom’s this works out well because anytime your baby say’s “Dada”, you can pass him off to dad and say, “Here he wants you!” while you go and get work done.

My son's first word was "dadda" and then "kitty" shortly after. Sadly he didn't say "momma" til after he was a year old!
