Back in the Day

Today's LJ Writers' Block asks: What was your first word?

I had to ask Mom. This prompted her to get out my baby book. Apparently my first word was "hot."

But now I am reading through the baby book - which is pretty thorough; nice job, Mom! - and finding it pretty amusing and interesting. Some things just do not change (Person smiled at: ...just about anybody who'll smile at us) and some things really do (Sounds made: ...likes to sing...hums a lot). Not to say I don't still like to sing and hum, just generally not where people can hear me. :)

At five months, it took me about half an hour to "unwind and get comfy and start talking." Which, yes, sounds about right. Also the whole "very serious" but generally happy baby thing with the smiling and laughing a lot. That's me. Pretty serious; generally happy. Easily provoked into laughter.

I had a pig named Hamlet (stuffed) and a cat named Stanley (real). I'm so glad I finally remember that cat's name! I kept wanting to say Sammy, but that was one of EB's first cats.

It is bizarre looking at baby pictures and realizing it's yourself you're looking at.

I had a stuffed elephant. Her name was Ellie.

I thought my first word might have been "duck." But I think that's the word I had a thing for when I was three. :)
