   And then she spoke...
  Since I just hit cloud 9, I figured I would share it with ya'll.  My 7 month old has sort of started talking.  For the last 2 months she has wanted NOTHING to do with me (as in she would activly push her self away from me when I held her).  Today when I got home from a rather long and tiring night of work, she actually said Dada.MovieI put up with 2 months of hell trying to spend time with her and I'm her first word.  Damn that makes it worth it.EDIT: Linkified it.   
  Awww that is a cute baby! Well I'm happy she likes you again :P Had you tried bribing her with cookies tho? That might work ;)   ;Quote:Original post by _SigmaAwww that is a cute baby!Why thank you. I'm told she gets her looks from my side of the family (mental note: stock up on guns and ammo).  Admitidly though, her mother did all the work. And for the women that read this, they are BOTH spoiled rotten.Quote:Original post by _SigmaWell I'm happy she likes you again :P Had you tried bribing her with cookies tho? That might work ;)I'll have to remember that once she starts eating solid foods (or more of them).  She just started the teething biscut things a few days ago (I think, her mother takes care of her mostly since I work 3rd shift).   ;  Congratulations man. As soon as she's onto solids, give her roast beef as a reward. My first word was "teddy". Parents considerably nonplussed - I didn't get roast beef 'till I was 15.And here I was expecting something like "let there be light"   ;  I sitting in a chair eating Oreos and my daughter ran over to me and said "Cookie" clear as could be for her first word.  Couldn't say no to that :);  Well, I'm honestly supprised her first word was dada considering I'm never around.  Work all night and morning and sleep all afternoon (when she is home).  I see her maybe 10 mins a day right before she goes to bed.The cookie story is VERY cute.  I wouldn't be able to say no either.As far as feeding her roast beef, I'll wait till she can eat one of my steaks and use that to bribe her into computers and cooking.   ;  So have you tried teaching her dirty words yet?   ;  Not yet (and I wont), but she will pick it all up in due time.  I do plan on teaching her counting binary on her hands.  Can't wait to get called to the principals office when she counts out 4, 128, and 132 on her hands.   ;  That baby is too precious for words...what a cutie pie :D   ;  Man, I wish the information-super-highway had been around when I spoke my first words. Then my dad's reaction could have been to post about it on an Internet forum.
