Da-Da-Da-DA

I put in the hours, I spend the time, but for some reason my girls have chosen "Dadda" as their first words.

Silvia started with the "d-d-d-d-d-d-d" this week and a few days ago just opened out with the full Dadda. She even says it FOR Kurt, as if she actually knows what it means, so I guess it counts as a real word. I sit there, smiling, and say, "Come on, sweetie, say "mama", can you say, "Ma-Ma"?.

And she sits there, smiling, pats my cheek with a drooly hand and says...

"Dadda!"

If anyone is keeping score, that's Daddy, 2 points, Mommy, zip.
