Today, We Celebrate Rai's First Word!

Rai, we're probably no different than most parents. We've been given a list of developmental milestones and we're determined to see you beat the expected date for each and every one. Hey, we're your parents and we want only what's best for you, right? And, what's best for you is to be the fastest, the smartest, the most healthy, and the most happy baby, child, young adult, and adult around. Evolution? Survival of the fittest? Call it what you will, the bottom line is that you must beat all your competitors, no matter what the cost.
One big developmental milestone is speech. This can be broken down into smaller milestones such as first word, first 3-word sentence, first question, and so on. The first word usually comes sometime after 6 months and usually comes in the form of 'mama' or 'dada'. Well, we are happy to announce that you reached this milestone about 1.5 months ahead of schedule and your word was one that was much more complex than 'mama' or 'dada'. Your first word: Google.
Not only is 'google' a tough word to articulate, but your choosing this as your very first word is a choice that states your understanding of the world you've entered and what it will take to survive and pass on your genetic code. Clearly, you understand the technological age we find ourselves in and the importance of fast and comprehensive access to information that is a hallmark of the current era.
Now you've got us guessing as to what your second word will be. "Wikipedia" would be a good one but we'll take "global village" or "information superhighway". As long as it isn't "Microsoft", your parents will be happy!
