The boy has spoken
My boy Blu has finally said his first coherent word and it was not the Ma-ma I have been teaching him.He said Da-da. Nonsense and ingredients. I have been betrayed. After everything I have done for him, he choses his daddy over me. Throughout this evening, he has been repeating da-da over and over again. Sometimes stretching it out - daaaaaaahdaaaaaaaaah - as if he really wants me to know whose side he is on. Thinking he was confused, I repeated ma-ma over and over again at bath time, and then again as I dressed him, and then again as I held him, but no, that's too hard for my boy. DH and I have a bet going on and I seem to have lost. Not tonight, I have put our little soldier to bed already. I can't have him saying da-da when his daddy gets home. Not tonight anyway. Some other day maybe. I couldn't take the "I told you so!" tonight.

That is always their first word. Mine is 19months and only says daddy even though I keep saying mummy each time he calls daddy.
LOL...
Well his dad might have his first word but you have his heart...the bond between you and your son will be so so strong...
LOL
He does not link the da-da to his dad. It's just a recognisable sound and we mums think they are calling their dad. We praise God for the power of speech. Now get ready for the days you want a bit of peace and quiet or better still the day they tell all the household secrets to all in nursery :)
Lol...Actually My daughter first word was mama......but then again am the only parent in in life.....lol
My sons first words were DADA too. I kept saying MAMA MAMA MAMA, the boy no gree.
Now he calls MAMA like no mans business.
lol
happy holidays
Anon - That's too funny - you saying mummy each time your son says daddy. He'll catch on... in due time.
Uzo - Amen to that. I hope to have that special bond that you mentioned with my Blu.
Kemimamalopes - I have since come to realize that he was NOT calling his daddy. Thank God for the power of speech indeed! I'm a FTM (first time mom) so I immediately associated his da-da with daddy.
Bobby - You finally got your wish. Good for you!
Yummymum - Lucky you. As you probably know, so many moms wish their babies would say mama first.
Geisha - Happy holidays to you too!
