Rooney's First Official Word?

There is a small debate between Mike and myself on what and when Rooney has said his first word. It is my belief that Rooney has already said "Mommy" and meant it, a couple months ago, when he was crying in his crib. Mike and I both heard it over the baby monitor, Mike even asked "Did he say Mommy?", but he is denying Rooney actually meant me.

However, there is no denying Rooney has already acquired comedic timing. Tuesday night, Mike and I had just finished dinner and I was feeding Rooney in his highchair. Mike was still sitting at the table with us and I noticed a funk smell in the area. I asked Rooney, "Did you fart or was it Daddy?" knowing full well who the originator of the funk was. Rooney answered clear as a bell and confirming my suspicions..."Da-ddy"!

Mike couldn't deny it and I couldn't deny Rooney meant it. The debate remains whether this was Rooney's first official word though.

I don't think this bodes well, when the first words out of his mouth were a bold-faced lie.

Sounds like he's just as smart as I would expect ...

I wonder if my first word was "Mike" when asked a similar question?

You gotta teach him to say "Rocco!"
Everyone knows you blame it on the dog!
