FYI... Da-Da could also be the garbage can

I have to admit... hearing "Da-da", as Zach is often babbling now, is quite rewarding. I mean, what father doesn't like to hear "dada" or something similar being among the first semi-articulate words coming out of their child's mouth?

News flash... and I think I'd read about this somewhere... is that while 'dada' is a fairly common first sound... it's fairly random and can be used to describe any of mom, dad, hunger, garbage can or perhaps the latest results of the American democratic race.

So, that tempers the excitement a tad but still... there's still that flicker of pride when "Da Da" comes out of his mouth and he's at least looking in my direction.
