I was so excited by this, I just had to share it -- my little baby said his first word!!!! At only 3 months!!!! I was stunned, i couldn't help but start crying. He said, "Hello!" (I say "hello" to him every morning, and every time I come back into the room after walking into a different room for something. I also talk to him all throughout the day, through everything we do together. I guess it helps!) I couldn't believe it when he said it; at first it was like "Huh-wuh" and not enunciated very clearly, but then I kept repeating it, I could see him trying to move his tongue to get it right, and finally he even got the L sound! Now he won't stop saying it. It was so amazing to see him say it, and then the more excited I got, the more he excited he got, and then there was just this moment we both shared of absolute, pure joy.
