I think it differs, and therefore, it is virtually impossible to determine what an infant's first "word" will be. There are the common sounds: "baba", yaya" , for example, that actually don't really mean anything. The child is learning sounds and developing it's speech, and will favor repetitive consonants, as they are easier for the mouth to form.
So, technically, you could both be right. Or you could be both be wrong.
And I've "predicted" stuff that's come true. Doesn't mean I'm always right. You made a guess, and you got lucky.

Don't mind me...I'm just a lil pissed off today...
A - my glasses are broken
B -I'm a lil pissed off at Krystal M right now...
Sheesh, I'm sorry... I just don't like to be contradicted, it kind of upsets me and I don't like being upsets because it tends to raise my blood pressure and my blood sugar level

Honey, nobody likes being contradicted, or told that they're wrong. It's an egotistical thing. Just something we all have to get over. I'm no exception.
Sorry about your glasses. How well can you see without them?
Back to the discussion, I'm going to ask my mother if she remembers what my first word was...

This dicussion got a little heated whilst i was sleeping! and who is severus snape?
Im gonna throw some cold water on the discussion, technically everybody was right. Between 7 and 8 months babies to tend to come out with aload of jibberish (which is where the animals baba and yaya come in) because they are repetative consonants and easy for the child to say but they are not considered the childs first word.
Generally its between 12 and 18 months when the child will start making sense and they will say a word that is used every day in their environment which could literally be anything from cat, dog, door, juice and mama and dada. In most cases it is mama or dada because they are pretty much there every second of every day and the the word usually pops out when they want to get their attention. And the fact that most parents will try and encourage them to say mama also helps.
So Ceol first word literally could be anything, although saying that she will probably be jiggiling around in her high-chair to music way before she says anything.
Has anybody else found that babies love C'est La Vie? My cousin cannot get enough of it.

Severus Snape is a character from the Harry Potter novels. Also, I was so much involved in the argument, as trying to act as sort of a peacemaker, to smooth things out before they got...worse. You'll find I do that a lot. Call me The Conciliator I already knew I was right.  |

That child has been exposed to music long before emerging from the womb. They say music is beneficial to a child's early mental developement.

Sorry Celtic Cross, but it would probably be "Dada" because it's eaiser for kids to say than "Mama" in the early years. ( i go to a vo-tech school and my major is Early Childhood and we did talk about this). I know that we would all like it to be Mama but probably not. I know, this is one of the injustices in life. P.S.- Sorry to spoil your predictions!  Um, actually, "mama" is an easy word for babies to say because when they are old enough, they start saying "ma" I know because I'm an aunt and I've always been around kids... Oh ok sorries. I'm not suprized that i'm wrong. My instructor is kinda wacky. |
