Lily's first word

We’ve been waiting a long time for the day when Lily would speak her first word.

Admittedly, she’s been saying Moo or MMMM for a long time when we ask her what does a cow say. But yesterday she said her first real word.

And what was it? “Nice” That’s right. Not ball or dog or Dada. (She’s also been saying “Ma” for a long time). Nope it was “nice”. What a pleasant girl she will turn out to be, right?

Well, the background is this. Mike and I are perhaps not teaching Lily and Addison the best etiquette. They have a tendency to pass gas from the attic and the basement while eating their dinner. Generally this evokes a response from Mike or I…such as “ew”, “good one”, “sweet” or “DUUDE!”. Both Addison and Lily find this very funny. On some occasions one of the girls will have such a loud belch or fart that we say “NNNIIIIICCEEE!”. Last night Lily had a beauty of a burp and Mike and I both said “NIIIICE!” And much to our amazement, Lily repeated it.
