First Word

Ty has been babbling for a while and he says many different sounds, but there hasn't been a clear association with any of his words . . . until now.  I think we may have an athlete on our hands!  Ty said his first word today!  We were playing in the back yard and he picked up a golf ball, threw it and said "Ba".  He did this numerous times and he smiled at me as he threw the ball.  I told Jeff about it when he got home and Jeff handed him a play ball in the house and he picked it up, threw it, and said "Ba" again and again.  It was pretty cute!
