What was your baby's first word?

I was quite 'chuffed' that both of my boys first word was 'mum'. I guess this was because I was the one that spent the most time with them.

I don't have a kid and planning for one soon. But I remmeber first words of my nephew. He was very small and he just asked for water. We used to call water mum as he learns to call his mother easily. On day he asked for , "mum" as he wanted water to drink. We all loved that moment and shooted him nearly for 3 hours more so that we don't miss a chance speaking second time in his life. But alas to our disappointment he didn't spoke a single letter afterwards.

gosh its been so long since ive had a baby, its hard to remember. i think they always said "dada" first.

My son's first word was "Woodo" for our dog, Trixie Woodle. He was just under 4 months old. He didn't learn to say Daddy until he had already learned the other dog and the cat's name, too. Then he said daddy. Then he learned hi, go, and no, before he finally said Mama.

We have the same situation. My son also says Dad first when he was about 9 months old and he hasn't said Mom until he reached two years old. He will be four on November but he can only speak about 2 to 3 words consecutively. I hope that he would speak well when he reaches the age 4.

My son said "dada" at around 5 months. I knew he wasn't talking about his dad since he had been deployed for a long time and he had no clue who that man was! I think he really started talking where we could semi-understand at 1 year, like doggy, nice, mama, etc. At 18 months he started using two words together like all done, all gone, want this?

I think all of my kids said mum first and then it took them ages just to say dad.
