I know this is probably small to some of you but my 18 month old was babbling and suddenly just clearly said DADA looking right at me. My wife was there and we both just froze. He's been trying for weeks and it finally clicked. Going to remember this forever.
Man, that's not small at all! That moment hits different when they say your name and actually mean it. Congrats, dude. Three under five here so I remember that feeling like it was yesterday.
That's huge! Those early language moments are the best. My kids are older now but I still remember when mine first called me dad on purpose. You're gonna want to remember this one.
That's not small at all dude. That moment is HUGE. I remember when my son first said 'dada' clearly and I probably told everyone I saw that day. You're not alone in thinking this is a big deal because it legitimately is.
This is everything. Watching them go from making sounds to actually communicating with you is wild. Congrats man, that's a milestone worth celebrating.

18 months is such a cool age for this stuff. Our youngest just started really talking and it changes the whole dynamic. Now she can actually tell us what she wants instead of screaming about it.
