Da Da

Dad has reinforced the use of the phrase "da da" enough that I now say it all the time. In fact, one of the things I do while held is babble "da da" while patting the person holding me on the chest.

Dad is convinced that my first word must be "da da" but mom feels that I might not quite understand the definition of the word since I proudly pat her chest and declare "da da" too.

But I do understand words. I recognize my name and my nickname and can make the sign for both "more" and "all done." I also understand the word "no" but my standard reaction is to laugh and return to the prohibited activity.
