It’s way overdue but I need to record Jake’s first words so we don’t forget so here it goes…

1st word was Dada.  Not just baby babel but actually associating Jason with Dada.  I can’t remember but I think this happened around 6 months.

2nd word – itty (meaning kitty) this came shortly after Dada.  The cat being the most exciting furry, moving creature in the house.  We are still overjoyed every time she comes remotely close (almost never).

3rd, 4th 5th and 6th were – gog (for dog), ball, truck, and mom/momom which all came just after his 1st birthday.  Primary care taker had to wait a year for a name…what up with that!

All after a year he started picking up more words and was able to use sign language for milk, change, more, all done, and bath.  The funniest thing is to watch generalization.  Milk sign for everything and everything that moves is a gog.
