Aside from the universal "mama" and "dada," which I don't think really count, Libby has spoken her first word: Cat.
We spend lots of time identifying Toshie and Gilmore, so this isn't a big surprise, but I personally thought "dog" would come before "cat." A few weeks ago we asked Libby where the dog was, and she pointed to Gilmore. Then she started making a "doh" sound. But that was about it.
Then, this weekend, Toshie walked into the room, and she pointed and said "cah!" The next morning, she was looking at a book and made the same noise; sure enough, there was a kitten on the page. Then she pointed to a vintage poster of 2 cats in our living room and said "cah" again. And the deal was sealed when my mom brought her a tiny little Gund cat that meows when you push its belly Saturday night (she's holding it in this week's chair photo). She loves this feline friend and now goes around saying "cah" all the time. And she's still working on "dog."
With our love of animals, I guess it's pretty fitting that our kid's first words would be "cat" and "dog." We'll try to take video and post it soon. It's too cute!

GO LIBBY!! Even though Uncle Kurt swears she said Kurt as her first word, I think you might have a more honest account of things. Just wait.... this is just the begining!!! Take Care!
Congratulations, Libby! You're off to a heck of a start. Pretty soon, you will be talking everyone's ears off. :-)
No doubt, Susan!
I am not surprised the way her eyes light up when Tosh or Gilmore enter the room.
I see a future Valedictorian in Libby!
Love it! It's so awesome to see her little personality developing!
