First Real Word

Yes, Tali says "mama" and "dada" but I'm not sure that she really relates them to us on a regular basis. She also says "dada" every time she sees a dog or wants to know what something is.

Another word she says often is "done" and I am going to call this as her first real word. Although she says this throughout the day in relation to things that aren't done, she also uses it appropriately at meals.

When Tali is finished eating (either a type of food or an entire meal), she says "done" and raises her arms to her shoulders with her hands turned out (as if she's doing the sign for "I don't know"). If you give her more food after she says "done," she crushes it in her hand and gives it back to you. She's done. Tali will also say "done" when she sees that a bowl/plate of food is empty.

So, "done" is Tali's first word. I'm not sure what that means for her future (will she finish everything she starts or will she just declare things done when she's had enough?), but we will see.
