First Word!

Could Des's first word be "uh oh"? It looks like it. He started saying "uh oh" yesterday and Mama would encourage him to say it and he would repeat after Mama, but it was never in the right context. It's not like we said "uh oh" when we dropped something or when he fell, etc.

But today, Des was sitting in Mama's lap holding a pen and he dropped the pen and said, "uh oh". Mama thought it was just a fluke that he said "uh oh" in the right context.

Then about 30 minutes later, Des was watching Mama twirl a spoon and Mama accidentally dropped the spoon and said "oops", at which point, Des said "uh oh".

Then, in the evening, Des was in his high chair, drinking from his sippy cup and at one point, he dropped his sippy cup onto the floor and said very clearly, "uh oh".

So that is three times now that he has said "uh oh" in the correct context.

Des hasn't said Mama in awhile but will say "Ma mma Ma mma" when he sees his Mama, so for this reason, we say that "uh oh", rather than "Mama", is Des's first word! Super exciting, nonetheless!
