Nick is a genius. There’s a reason normal babies’ first word is either da da or ma ma — they’re easy to form, but GUM BO takes a lot of mouth – tongue coordination.
Old joke – I forget the exact words – The child does not speak and does not speak. One day he when he is 4 years old (maybe even older) he says (something like) “the soup is too hot”. Parents are shocked – “you can talk – why have you never had said anything before?” Child says “Up until now, the food has been okay and has not been too hot.”
(If anyone remembers the exact joke – this was the best I could remember it.)

Wait until Clayton tells his parents. They’ll probably be disappointed that they missed it.

Wanna bet Adam will be upset that Baby Nick’s first word isn’t “da-da”??

With Adam as his father, you’d have thunk his first word would be “coffee”

Woo Hoo!. I don’t care if it was an accident. It counts. Sippy cups and raisins for everyone. “Ceelebrate the night. COME ON!”

Nick is about 20 years old. About time he started talking. Maybe someday he can wear real clothes instead of one-piece pajamas.

Aw little Nick…he knows who’s the best friend and ally he’s had over all those years stuck in the basement. The others are just random entertainment.

My grandson’s first word was “fire truck.” They lived across the street from a fire station.

my daughter said my first grandson first words were “thank you”

“PupPY!” was my grandson’s first. That dog is his dog and he is her little boy for sure.
