Dada

First words seem to be more ambiguous than I thought they would be.  Bibi said "Ahgoo" months ago.  I am not sure what language he was speaking, but it was definitely a word.  Wednesday evening (9.17.08) he started to say Dada, it started with a string of ada dada, but then later when Amine came home he said a few clear Dada's.  Yesterday and today he said it plenty of times, not yet for the camera unfortunately.  So is it his first word?  I am not sure.  He says it to me, to Amine, when he was in Sylvie's jumperoo, so maybe he has just discovered the "D" sound and happens to follow it with the "A" vowel, but it's Dada, it should count.  I didn't count Iman's first roll over because I assumed it was a fluke, like her first smile, just a stroke of luck and not intentional, and maybe Bibi's Dada is the same thing, but now that he's saying it, it's only a matter of time and convincing that he learns that everything isn't Dada, just Amine.
