First time my son called me 'dad'

He's been saying 'dada' for a while now but today he looked right at me and clearly said 'dad.' It's such a small thing but it felt huge. He's 18 months old and I got to witness that milestone. My wife recorded it on her phone and I've probably watched it 50 times already. Never thought a single word could make me feel this proud.

That's huge! My daughter said 'daddy' super clearly out of nowhere last month and I literally teared up. It's wild how such a simple word hits different when it's your kid saying it on purpose.

That's the stuff right there. All the other stuff fades away when you get moments like that. Enjoy it because before you know it he'll be asking for the car keys.

Man, that's a big moment. The dada phase is cute but there's something different about when they actually say 'dad' with intention. Those are the moments that stick with you. Congrats.
