For the last few days, David has been saying “byebye,” so I think we’re ready to say that it’s his real first word. He says it at the appropriate times, too, and less frequently at inappropriate times. It’s super cute. A few days ago, he was crawling out of the room, so I said, “David, where are you going?” and he said, “Byebye!”
He also says hi, but I don’t think he understands that he’s really saying “hi!.” Plus, it happens a lot less frequently.
Lately, I’ve been working on “good night” but he’s not too keen on that, and he’s not too excited about giving me the “I’m 1 year old!” gesture. I’ll get there.
