First Word?!?

Niya's babbling is beginning to sound like words...

Has she said the first word? We aren't sure!

Here is what we are currently hearing:

Dadadadada to Daddy (and to the dresser, Mommy, and whatever else)

ktss to the cat, but sometimes she just yells in their faces

pththth (put tongue between lips and blow gently-no lip flapping) usually said at times Mommy would say "Shhhhh"

Dah or Doh a response when asked if "All Done"

Hi sometimes said at the right time

HiDa sometimes said to Daddy

NumNumNum said with lots of lip smacking, when she eats

And then the other day I was sitting in the bedroom with Grammy and Niya was pointing to things and I was naming them. She pointed to the "BOB" stroller and I said "that's Bob" and Niya thought for a moment and then she looked at Grammy and me and said... Bob!

Or the time that I handed her a spatula in the kitchen saying "Here Squeek have a spatula" and she said with a pleased smile and a little slur "spasla"!

So we really can't tell... when do these count?!? We aren't trying to be picky, we just don't want to be those people who say "Guess what?! My kid is talking and he says 'dog' all the time... It sounds just like this...'Gu!'"
