“Put that on YouTube,” Grandpa suggests. He was so correct. Babies begin to pronounce two-syllable words at the age of six months. That milestone was reached by this tiny guy’s first word.

Because time flies, each milestone is a moment to cherish. The first word a newborn says is a very noteworthy developmental milestone. A baby will go from babbling and gurgling sounds to vowel-like noises until the age of three months. By six months, a baby is likely to be experimenting with vowel-consonant pairings and double-syllable sounds. Given a baby’s commitment to his or her parents, it’s not unexpected that their first words are often “mama” or “dada.” This may even lead to some friendly rivalry among parents, with everyone striving to be first!

In the video below, you’ll witness two adoring grandparents eager to hear their tiny grandson’s first word. They tried their hardest to get him to speak out. “Say, Mama,” Grandma suggests. “Would you want to?” Nothing except a blank look and stillness. Grandpa speculates that the tiny kid would wish to utter “milk” as the first word. That seems reasonable, yet the infant doesn’t say anything.

“I know what his first word will be: ‘Taco,’ says Grandpa. ” Taco… Taco…” It works perfectly! The tiny guy says, “Taco,” after giving it some consideration.

You may think this infant has a precocious appetite for Mexican cuisine, but the household cat is named Taco. It’s possible that they’re already great buddies. I’m sure the parents thought the first word was amusing.
