How did I forget to mention this!!???

Two days ago Jacob called out for "Mum!"

I hesitate to mention it, but he also occasionally cries, "Hun-ry!" in a desparately pleading voice. I very very frequently ask him if he's hungry when I feed him (because I wanted him to associate the word with the act) and I am positive he is trying to say it. But I know that most people would be quite skeptical of this. Both the fact that he's saying it and the fact that he's beginning to talk at all. It isn't perfectly clear to anyone other than me, so it doesn't count as his first word. I would also like to keep the stigma associated with having Hungry be your first word away from him, lol.

All four of mine were relatively early talkers though, so it's not that unusual.

I have such trouble getting a picture of him smiling because the flash on the camera fascinates and sometimes scares him. Here I caught him smiling, but of course the camera moved and took the picture mainly of a blanket. Still cute.
