Da da da
I think Katherine is saying her first word. She had been babbling a lot for a long time. She says things that could represent words, but it is so hard to know if she is intentional.
Some of the possible words that she says are mum or mamamamama, dadadadada and ga or da. You may wonder wht these words are. Mum or mamama is referring to me and she does seem to do it at the appropriate times. dadada obviously refers to her dad and ga or da refers to dog or Hooligan. She has said that when Hooligan was around her high chair.
Officially I count her first word today when she was at Kathy’s house. She was in the high chair and their dog Ranger walked in. Kathy said that Katherine pointed and said, “da”. So, her first word is “dog.” Pretty cool.
