However, in a hotly contested race here on the home front, it seems that D has emerged as the clear frontrunner and winner. Yes, despite my best efforts, Boyd has chosen "dada" and "dad" as his first words! Pretty exciting stuff for us. He has been babbling for a long time now but in the last couple days he has been speaking pretty clearly and saying "dada" over and over. What can I say, the kid loves his daddy!
Postscript: I think it's pretty comical that Boyd says "dada" when in a happy mood, and "mom" when upset or mad. He sort of babbles "mamamamama" in a sad little way.
