to think that "Cheese" is up there in the "most unusual first word from a baby" top ten?!

[PyongyangKipperbang]

Just having a laugh with the kids as DD4's first word was Cheese!

She had done the usual babbly stuff and we did all the usual "Oh that was dada, that was mama" thing, but the first honest to goodness word she said that we recognised without a doubt was Cheese! Luckily it was a weekend and we all heard it otherwise I dont think anyone would have believed me!

She was in her high chair, I gave her her lunch and said "ooh cheese!" and she said it right back. It was her favourite food, still is!

Hit me with your weirdest first words!

DN’s first word was “mine”. Not good at sharing with his older brother! 😂

DH's was apparently digger. Construction site on the other side of the road from their house. Older child was Yes, younger was There, always accompanied with a pointing finger.

My son's were bubble/pop. He just really liked when we blew bubbles in the garden.

‘Bubba’ which was actually ‘bubbles’. We were obsessed with our hot tub at the time and so was DD.

My nephews was car, followed quickly by cop car, his first sentence was Oh no cop car crashed while banging two cars together!

DS1 was apple and DS2 was sheep. DS1’s second word was cheese though. Apple and cheese for a very long time before any other words came out

Mine was “Roy Orbison”

Ds talked very early but his first word was, i think, Duck.

Younger brother was slow to walk and talk, he mostly sat on the floor grunting.
At 14 months he shouted ‘Wellies please’ so my mother went to put his wellies on and he took them off her, put them on himself and ran out the door squealing byeeeeee.
To this point he had not spoken real words or walked AT ALL.

Dts both had shoes as their first word. They still are obsessed with shoes.

DS1 was Cheers. With cup clinking.
Guess he must have seen us doing it once too often.

DS was a late starter and his first word was a complete sentence. Scared the living daylights out of me. I said something really stupid like 'I beg your pardon?' in a Hyacinth Bucket type voice.

We had 'uppy' (up, as in pick them up) from DC1 and 'pah-coh' (pine cone) from DC2.

DC1 then managed 'umina-moff' (hummingbird moth) a few months later when we were in holiday in France and surrounded by the bloody things. DC2s claim to family fame was reading out loud 'wee-fee' when they saw Wi-Fi on a sign at about age 2.5. Had no idea they had were starting to read!

Not the first word but was one of the first few... "charger lead" 😂He went through a phase of being obsessed with plugs and leads!

Son was 'nana' for banana - he was a cheeky monkey and loved bananas.
My DD was also 'more' as I suppose I kept asking her if she wanted some more.

My little girl's first words were No, Dad, and cheese. Very clear and really young. She still loves cheese.

DS was four months old when he started talking. He said “hiya” and “baba” at that age. Took considerably longer until he said “mama” though!

Son's first word was 'cat' but his second was 'tractor' 🤷🏻‍♀️

We had bag.

Mr Tumble's Spotty....

(Cue)

''Baaaaag''

Can’t remember her first word but first sentence at 18m old was ‘name’ going bed now.

My DD’s was “corn” at about 9/10 months as she had grabbed my corn on the cob mini a few days before and absolutely loved it, she was having them a few times a week and they’re still one of her favourite foods now she’s 13.

off topic but she was a very quick talker and she came back from nursery one day aged 2 and said “my head is fucking chocker” which she had obviously overheard from someone. When I rang nursery they said it was the 3rd complaint saying the same.

Dd's was 'hat' but sounded like 'ass' for a good while 😂

She's 3 now and and never leaves the house without a hat on!

DD1s first word was book. She's now a published author of her own books!

Same here, cheese was ds first word.

Exactly the same here! My DS would hold aloft his Tommy Tippee with dramatic flourish, inviting us to 'clink'.
