Casey,

I think at this point, it’s safe to declare that the word, ‘the’ is not your first word, irrespective of your constant use of it.

Instead, I think it’s ‘mama’. You say it to get Lesli’s attention. You say it to call out to her when she’s no longer in the room. You’ve pointed while saying it, directly at her.

So I guess, first word slightly before 10 months. Not too surprised at your vocabulary, all things considered. Your mom is your world. And you are hers.
