Over the past couple of months Agnes (10 months) has been saying her first words. She started with "mama" and that eventually turned into "mom." Then it was banana, or as she says it "nana." She is actually pretty cute with that one and will excitedly repeat it over and over whenever she sees someone eating or hears someone talking about that fruit. It seems that maybe she has been studying some of Dad's psychology textbooks as she got the words associated with her physiological and safety needs (Maslow's hierarchy of needs) mastered first.
Over the past week or so she has been experimenting with the da sound. At first I was getting excited, but then I realized that she was just indiscriminately saying the sound. However, "da" has now turned into "dada" and she now seems to say it in reference to me. Today we were playing a game where she would say dada a few times and then stop. I would then say it and she would repeat a few more time, then me, then her, then me again, and so on (looks like she has moved up the hierarchy to social needs).
Today Agnes is my superhero for learning how to say dada.
