First word?

So Spencer may have said his first word. How can you tell? Is that just a random noise? He "says" a lot of things. I'm going to count this one because he's repeated and he says it with meaning. According to me, his Dad, Spencer's first word was, "Hey!"
That may not seem like a huge milestone, but he has already used it in a myriad of ways. That little exclamation has become whole sentences in the context of his life. Here are some examples:
  • "Hey!" = "Don't knock me over."
  • "Hey!" = "I bonked my head."
  • "Hey!" = "I don't want to go to bed yet."
  • "Hey!" = "Give me that!"
  • "Hey!" = "Hey, its you!"
  • "Hey!" = "Hey!"
  • "Hey!" = "Go Falcons!"

Maybe its not one for the record books, but its a pretty useful word. As you can see he gets a lot of use out of it. Maybe he'll grow up to be a great communicator making artistic use of as few words as possible to express the heart of the matter in its simplist of terms.

Or maybe he'll become an NFL kicker like his Dad wants him to be.
