The QotD: First Words
What were your first words? If you have children, what were their first words?
My first word was "kitty cat." Yes, not only was it three syllables long but it's actually two words. I was 8 months old and apparently I was with my mother's friend and I pointed to a picture of a cat and said "ki ki ca" and my mother's friend flipped out and dragged my mom over and then showed me all these other pictures of cats. The way my mom tells it her friend was way more excited about it than she was.
My brother's first word was "grandpa." We were living with my mom's dad when my brother was adopted. It was so cute because my grandpa wasn't keen on the adoption idea but then once my brother actually showed up they were best friends. They'd take naps together. My grandpa died when I was in high school (and so my brother was about 10). It makes me tear up a bit thinking about it.
