Iris finally said her first proper word this weekend. She's been babbling for ages (the usual Mum-mum-mum and Dad-dad-dad etc) and can make herself known - she shouts Ah-ub at my nephew, Caileb - but yesterday she uttered a proper, decipherable word! I'm so proud of her. I'm more embarrassed than proud to admit that her word of choice was cock.
We were reading a book together and there was a picture of a cockerel, so I told her that cockerels say, 'cock-a-doodle-do!'. Iris tried to copy, but only managed the first bit. Still, it's a proper word and everything! Yay!
