Baby's First Words

You know that feeling when you hear your baby's first words?  When that tiny, innocent, beautiful voice speaks understandable words for the first time it's like a song.  It's clearly the cutest voice any baby has ever had in the entire history of speaking babies, and you prod him to say the new word a million times.  Every time he says his new word, your heart swells.

Yep.  When AJ came downstairs this morning and said "hi" to me, I have no doubt it was the most beautiful sound any child has ever uttered.  And I bet there isn't a mom who would disagree with me.

Most 5-year-olds are talking their moms' ears off by now.  Most moms of 5-year-olds are just trying to get them to give their voices a rest.  Not this mom.
