We definitely weren't expecting to be making this announcement so quickly, but James' first word is "Milk".

It's a practical word, I'll give him that. It's not the first word he recognized - that would be "Monkey", nor is it the first thing he said (Yeah), and it is definitely not the best pronounced thing he says (Hoo), but it is the first thing he said with meaning. He also backs it up with a hand gesture, in case there was any confusion.

He astounds me.

I think it's just that he's been totally fascinated by this communication thing. From early on, he's been focusing on our mouths to figure out the shapes that sounds have. He really is amazing.

On the flipside, he's probably not going to be mobile very fast because he's so fixated on talking, rather than exploring.
