On Sunday while waiting to do singing time, my co-coordinator and I were sitting in the hall with our little munchkins. I got out a bag of cheez-its for the kids. Chase got excited and started begging. And my co-coordinator said: "Did he just say cracker??"
So it's not just me!
He started saying "cracker" at 8 1/2 months. I wondered if I was insane and just imagined he was actually saying a word. But he only did it when he saw food, and actually associated the object with the word. I decided to wait to write down his "first word" in his babybook, just in case. Well, it hasn't stopped, and now people actually know what he is saying. He shows no indication of having any desire to say "mama" or "dada" discriminately. Apparently there is not as much motivation to say "mama" as there is to say "cracker".
Unfortunately, now every time we go to Target or Walmart Chase breaks into a chorus of "cracker" "cracker" "cracker" as soon as he spies the food section. He also breaks out screaming if he doesn't get one. So my purse has now become not only a toybox but also a pantry.
I am enjoying my chatty little monster; and expecting him to be just like Tim... quite loquacious.

Look at you and your brilliant child! That's too funny! I guess the boy really likes crackers.
And I love Chase's pictures you put up on the side there: they made me smile, and I was desperately in need of a smile today!
Dear Tim and Katie,
Wait until little Cracker Boy starts saying entire sentences! Trust me
IT IS COMING

I LOVE THE PICTURES>MY COMPUTER WONT GET OFF OF THE CAPS__SORRY
I think "cracker" sounds similar to "uncle mark" maybe that's what he's saying. Think about it, he says it when he sees food, and when am I not eating something... he's my favorite nephew.
