So apparently the reason dada often comes first is because dads are the first people babies often recognize as being seperate from themselves. Mama is usually later because they are so attached to their moms that they don't realize they aren't part of themselves until a bit later.
My husband CHEATED!!
We were betting who she say first mama or dada. He bet if I win he takes me to a nice restaurant. If I lose I had to make him Meatball subs.
So minute I said deal he picked up our than 8 month old baby and layed her on the bed and leaned over her so he was damn near nose to wittle nose and said Dada on repeat. I honest to God thought it wouldn't work. But he just kept on for like 5 minutes than all of a sudden she just went Dada. Lol it was like she was going HERE DADA NOW BACK OFF ARE YOU HAPPY NOW DADA! lol
He looked at me like Ha Ha. I told him he cheated so no deal. Lol but I made meatball subs anyways because they are good lol.
But after that till she was like 2 she repeated Dada like it was a song stuck in her head. I used to tease my husband and say Are you happy you broke her. Lol
Somewhere we have recordings of her just saying Dada over and over lol.
This is very sweet, but personally I cant help think WAIT IF TWINS HAVE ONE ON ONE TIME! one learns dada one mama first then, you both can share the pride :) followed by reversing as to not deter development as once they nail their first word typically the second isn't far :D Honestly though a truly touching sentiment.
