Cat?

First word.....what do you really count as the first word? The little man has managed to say mama and dada in his random babbling but without really any intent...its not like he came toward me as to say, you, you are the "mama"...so I vote no on either of those being one of his first words. Since I can remember he has been obsessed with phones. He seems to know which ones are the old cell phones thrown in the bin to become phones for him to chew, slobber and ruin....even if I have been keeping them charged so they light up and still make noise. The past few days, he has picked up a few of the phones and put them to his ear and yells AHHH. Does that mean "hello" is his first word? There is definite intent, but with me being there to tell you that he is trying to say hello, it looks like he is just smashing the phone (or sometimes keys) to the side of his head saying "AHHHHH". That gets a vote of no also. This brings us to another obsession. Maddie. Our big, fat, mean cat, who likes nothing more than to hide until both kids are in bed. In the rare occasion that there is a sighting of this furry family member, the little man drops everything he is doing and tries to get her. He has been successful, without being bitten, a few times, encouraging him to chase her whenever he gets the chance. (Crawling forward helps BIG TIME) This past Saturday, the cat was around and Brandon definitely tried to repeat me saying cat, with his hand outstretched reaching for the cat. Though his cat sounds like "caaa"...I am voting for "CAT" to be his first word, said on 1/16/2010.

Hello (Ahhh) Sorry...I don't know how to flip the video...


Haven't gotten "Caa" on video yet.
