The first words from mine were… NO!! LOL
Can’t remember where I heard this, but I believe the terms themselves evolved around common infant mouth sounds. Hence why so many languages use the term “mama” for mother.
The baby makes random sounds, meaning is ascribed to them by the parents, the baby is given positive feedback and starts to make those sounds more frequently, and then the meaning eventually sticks for the child once they actually begin developing language.
This is what I’ve heard as well. Ba/Da/Ma/Pa are the first sounds we interpret as “words” coming from babies.
not Da as that is not bilabial
This is one of those memes you should feel bad about posting OP
Who says say?
Say what?
Say what again! I dare you. I double dare you motherfucker, say what one more goddamn time!
CHICKEN BUTT
Say my name.
If no one is around you, say baby I love you
Emphasis, most likely
My guess is that understanding language is just a brain thing, and formulating and speaking language is a brain and motor skills thing
My son would’ve learned: “It’s Daddy.”, “I’m Daddy.” instead.
