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.

Disgruntled:

-It's Tuesday, and I'll be seeing Pike later today for Nerd Club.  While I really want to see him, I fear it will be rather awkward.  Even though he doesn't know what happened, he has ways of dragging the truth out of me.
-I really need to do laundry and I probably wont have time to do so tonight.
-I'm disgruntled because I can't have a cat in my apartment.  The landlord's kid is allergic to nearly everything, so I understand, it's just that's the one thing that's really missing from my life right now!
-Men in general and how they are nowhere near as straightforward as they claim.

Giddy:

-Anna is gone today!
-Lacey is up for dancing in early December when she returns from Thanksgiving.  I'm probably really going to need something then to hold me off until I can visit home for Christmas.
-Putting Nanowrimo aside.  Yes, this is actually a good thing.  It's been keeping me from doing other projects I want to get started on.  I'll finish the novel eventually, but at my own pace.
-It's lunchtime!  Yay!
-My Vox Neighborhood is awesome.  Thanks for sticking with me!

Mal:

-I miss my cat.  I wish I could have a kitty in my apartment.
-It's a general boring day at work.  Anna took me around to meet the other offices, but hardly anyone was having any technical problems.  We did run into Corey (the owner of our company) and we had lunch, so that was actually good.
-The temperature is quite cold for October in The City.
-I had a dream where I wanted to get back together with Pike.  Then yesterday he decided to break his sponsor's rule and come over.*  He arrived right after Rowan finished asking me out.  I was a bit on the edge of my seat there.  At one point, when Pike was over, I started rubbing his arm out of habit, and he said, "Cloudy!" and I stopped.  I still feel so comfortable around him I forget that I'm supposed to behave differently--as friends.  That's hard.

Bueno:

-Keith left early today so I get to have the office to myself.  OH!  It turns out Keith is actually dating someone younger than him right now, so no cougars at the moment.  I'm not sure if this is such a great thing, because if he was dating a cougar I'm sure it would provide much more interesting vox fodder.
-Two days of Project Beautify before the date.  Must bleach, work out, and exfoliate like I'm a celebrity.  (I'm not sure if this really goes under bad or good.  Two days is better than one?)
-My dishes are nearly done at this point and I think I might actually have my apartment clean before my mom and her friend show up for the weekend on Friday. 
-I'm really looking forward to having them here.  Her friend is closer to me than my actual aunts.**  My mom is also bringing me some of my things from my parents' house and some groceries and necessities.  I also can't wait for her to see how I'm living like a grown up person in The City!  I've got a job and my own apartment in one of the most important places in the world.  I've made it!
