Caleb's First Word! -by Jason

While we were on Long Island, something really cool happened... Caleb starting making consonant sounds! I had no idea how exciting this would be and actually didn't think that I would even notice this transition. It was surprisingly obvious when it happened though and Kendra and I were both pretty wowed by it. He started with a "b" sound by saying something like, "babababa." But shortly after he got that down he started saying, "dada!" Sometimes he would string a bunch of them together like, "dadadada," and I'm not sure if he knows what he is saying, but I am definitely counting it as his first word. It happened at only 5 and a half months, too! I'm so proud of him! :-)
