Liam is 17 months old today and is a babbling fool! He has 2 words that we have declared as his first "official" words.

The first is "GAT" which of course means cat. (no big surprise in our house!)

The second is "TA" which means star. He is obsessed with stars. In the sky, on his clothes, in the mall, glow in the dark ones on his ceilling.

These are certainly not your "average" first words. We are still waiting with baited breath for the sweet sound of Mummy. He does use Ms and has a singsong mamama, but he does not use it as a label for us yet.

What first words did everyone else's children have? The standard Mama and Dada? Or anything more exotic? What age did your kids start using words as labels for the correct things?

I love this age and can't wait for the next words. We are trying to get him to use UP (instead of trying to pull my track pants off when he wants to be picked up), JUICE and of course Mummy.

Looking forward to everyones input.
