"DUCK!"

Jack said his first real word today! He has been saying the usual mama/dada for a few months now, but today, he looked up at me & said DUCK! He was sitting in the tub, surrounded by all his rubber duckies. Our typical bathtime routine includes me asking where his duck is/ what sound does the duck make blah blah blah. Today, I did this as usual, one duck floated away & he pointed to it, looked up at me & said duck!!! He even laughed after he said it, as if he knew he just did something totally amazing!!! I almost died, and then I almost cried because my baby boy is growing so so fast! I have been off for the last 2 1/2 weeks from work & have loved every single second of it! It was so hard to go back to work & leave him, however, I am fortunate with my job to get these breaks where I get to be with him. And I love that I was able to be home & see his big beautiful eyes look up at me and say duck!
