Up!

Other than mama and dada, of course, Jacob's first word was up. We've been thinking he was going to start spitting out words soon because he appeared to be trying to mimic things we were saying but they just wouldn't come out.

Then, finally, he wanted in his highchair so he was trying to pull the tray off and he said "Up". Now he wants "up" on everything. That was the start, now a week after he first said it he says "down", "ball" and "book" as well. Of course the last letters don't get pronounced most of the time, but it's obvious what he's trying to say.
