So, Tristan has been saying Mama and Dada for a while now. He's 14 months old today and I realize some babies say a lot of words by this age and some don't. We have one that doesn't and we are not at all concerned. In addition to calling us by name, he also barks like a dog and teases us mercilessly. We are not concerned about this (or any, really) area of development.
Yesterday Tristan mimicked a word for the first time ever. If you don't really know Chuck, this won't mean as much to you. But for those of you who do know him, you'll probably laugh out loud. Tristan's first word (besides the obligatory Mama and Dada) is dude. Yes, DUDE. Dude happens to be one of Chuck's most-used words.
For the record, Tristan repeated it while playing with his brothers. He has a stuffed turtle that he loves. If you've seen Finding Nemo, you'll remember the turtle named Crush and how he and his son have a routine of knocking heads and saying, "Dude." When the boys brought Tristan his turtle they said, "Dude." And Tristan repeated it. I will admit, it sounded like, "boob." But I knew what he was saying.
So there you have it. Chuck's son's first real word is Dude. Lovely.

That's too cute. Our 14 month old says all sorts of words, you just can't understand any of them! It's funny you mention Nemo because there's a line in there I always say to Juliana...when Squirt is trying to talk to Marlin and saying all this crazy stuff Marlin says "You're really cute! But I don't know what you're saying!!"
HILARIOUS.
Well, then his second word was "good!" When I said, "good,good, good, good," he said the same thing right back to me! (I have several witnesses!)
Love,
Mom
