Ladies and gentleman…
We have a first word.
Nora has been babbling for a while now. “Ba-ba-ba-ba.” “Da-da-da-da.” But she has never made the connection between one particular object or person and a word… until now.
Her first word is…
TESSA.
(That’s right. The dog.)
(That’s right. The dog.)
In hindsight, it kind of makes sense, because Tessa is kinda… mischievous. Which means that she kinda-sorta gets, um, “corrected” a lot. Which involves a lot of hissing, “TESSA!” around here. So if there is one word that Nora hears a lot, it is “Tessa.”
In some ways, this has been a wake up call for me. Because, well, this means Nora is listening to us. Like, really listening.
So.
Do they have a 12-step program to help someone give up cursing like a sailor?

I'm Heather. I'm 33 and have been married to Michael for seven years. Together, we have two beautiful little girls we love more than anything, and a miniature dachshund who drives us crazy. I'm a full-time working mom who has very little time for my own "stuff" these days, like home improvement, cooking/baking, cake decorating, and photography. Despite the team not making the playoffs since 1999, I'm STILL a Buffalo Bills fan, which I think speaks to my loyalty AND sense of humor. I can't wait to pick up the pace with travel again some day... you know, when we're done being ruled by tiny fists. Welcome to my blog.
awwhh, congrats nora! looove the end of the video where you just hear her say it and then the giggles from her parents. ;)
still waiting on our first word around here. :(
Yay for her first word!!!!!!!!! Hopefully she’ll say momma or dadda soon!
Wow, that is awesome! She’s going to be a big talker, with a word already that early!
Thankfully Annie hasn’t repeated any swear words just yet, and we really aren’t watching our mouths either but I know the day is coming, and probably soon since she’s a big time mimicker right now. Yikes…
This is fantastic.
I love that she giggles after she said it the first time!
I’m pretty sure my son’s first word was “go-go”! Not mama, not dada…gogogogogogogogogo
I’m dying laughing. I mean falling over dying laughing. Tessa. /dead.
And if you figure out how to curb your truck driver habits, let me know. I’m pretty sure my kids’ first word will be shit. Sigh.
Priceless! I can’t wait to hear what’s next on her list.
We’re expecting our first in October and this mommy has a bit of a potty mouth too.
I legit laughed when I saw her first word was your dog’s name. That will probably happen to us. Either that or “fuck”. That is awesome.
[…] I guess this was actually established a long time ago, considering how “Tessa” was Nora’s first word. […]
[…] that you do—still waiting for the consonant sounds to start. Nora was such a late talker (after her first word, anyway) that I shouldn’t be surprised if you remain quiet for quite some time to […]
