The three oldest kids all said Daddy first. Cresta (my oldest) used to listen to me read Shakespeare-her first sentence was "out darn spot." Winnie was already talking more or less when we got her. Rissa's first word was MOMMA! DJ did the cutest thing; I went to check on him in the middle of the night and touched his ear-he sighed and said Mama. It was about that point that I decided he needed to stay with us. Annie was enamored with the dog and her first word was Boo. Mikey learned to say NeeNee for Annie.
