ds just said his first word!!! [bursting with pride emoticon]

[foundintranslation]

I was sitting with him and playing with a puzzle we've got - one of those ones with shapes with little handles - one of them has a cat on and I went 'mieow' and said 'cat' and he said 'cat' too!!!! I wasn't sure the first time but then I gave him it and said it again and he definitely said it.
He was 1 last week and he says mama but this is his first non-mama word.
Don't want to boast but it's so exciting

Boast away. Bless him. Exciting to hear isn't it?! :)

Oh how sweet, my ds is nearly 9months and I can't wait!

Oh how lovely

:)

So glad it was 'cat' - I love cats (we don't have one sadly)

oh, how lovely

my ds' first word was teddy, and I still remember my amazement at the clarity of it, just coming out of nowhere.

It is thrilling, isn't it!

That's wonderful FIT!

Hey foundit, congrats, can't believe they're nearly one. Ds is one on Wednesday.
You're right 'cat' is a great one to start with.

Boast away FIT!!

My DS2 was 1 last Wednesday and he picks up his toy phone and puts it to his ear - well, more to the back of his head actually - and says'eeeeoooooooh'

He took his first steps last Sat, I was bursting with pride too! Is your DS walking yet?

ahh, how lovely. I remember how happy I was when DD and DS started talking, they don't stop talking now

boasting is what we parents do best sometimes!! :) that's excellent!!!!!:) yay!!:)

How exciting for you Boast away!
I still remember ds1's first word, he toddled into the bathroon, dropped dh's shoes on the floor, looked up at us and said 'shoes', he has not actually stopped talking since that moment!
