\u201cPut that on YouTube,\u201d says Grandpa! How right he was. By the time they\u2019re about six months old, babies start to say two-syllable words. This little guy\u2019s first word meets that milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time has a way of flying, so each milestone is a moment to be treasured. One really memorable milestone in a baby\u2019s development is the first word they speak. Up to the age of three months, a baby will advance from making cooing and babbling sounds to vowel-like noises. By the age of six months, a baby typically is typically starting to experiment with vowel-consonant combinations and double-syllable sounds. Given a baby\u2019s attachment to their parents, it\u2019s not surprising that their first word is often \u201cmama\u201d or \u201cdada.\u201d This can even lead to a bit of friendly competition between parents, each hoping to be first!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the video posted below, you\u2019ll see a couple of doting grandparents who really want to hear their little grandson\u2019s first word. They do their best to encourage him to pipe up. Grandma suggests, \u201cSay, Mama. Do you want to?\u201d Just a blank stare and silence. Grandpa suggests that maybe \u201cmilk\u201d would be the first word the little boy would want to say. That\u2019s certainly logical, but again, not a peep from the baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now Grandpa has an idea: \u201cI know what his first word will be: \u2018Taco.\u2019 Taco\u2026 Taco\u2026\u201d It works like a charm! After giving the matter a little thought, the little fellow says, \u201cTaco.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n You might suppose that this baby has a precocious taste for Mexican food, but word has it that the family cat is named Taco. It could be that the two of them are already best friends. I am betting the parents thought this first word was hilarious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-477-1024x538.png\")
