First word
chase · Thu, Sep 10, 2015Misty and I both just heard Milo say her first word! It was “hi.”
Okay, so it was actually just a burst of air that passed through her windpipe in a particular way that made it sound like “hi,” probably not unlike the way certain birds mimic human speech. We don’t, in fact, have the world’s first infant who talks before she walks.
But there was still something magical about hearing that sound while we watched her face, and knowing that some day she’ll be speaking with intention — that she’ll have intention, meaning, purpose, and a whole inner world of her own, and that we get to be the first ones to explore it.
