For the past week, Zacharie has been speaking.
His first word? “Hi!” - complete with a wave and smile.
He does it a lot. Everytime I arrive at daycare to drop him off, he starts in the car and chats and waves the whole way into the room.
Everytime the phone rings at daycare, he turns and faces the phone and waves and says “Hi!”
You think I could catch any of this on video? Nope. Been trying for a week, but it’s official. It’s a word, it’s used in context and he repeats it.
I’ve got a happy, cheerful son who is happy to greet everyone he meets.
“Hi!”
The very sad thing to me is I’ve been saying “Bonjour” to him consistently since he was a day old. I’ve said it fast and slow and hundreds of times a day, trying to get him to repeat it. But he says “Hi!”
Even when I say “Bonjour” to him, he pauses, waves, and says “Hi!”
I’m just telling everyone he’s good at translating.

Ahhhh, perfect baby.
Aww Hi was my son’s first word as well. Savour it…before you know it you can’t shut them up! Keep working on the bonjour…I’m sure he’ll get it one of these days!
I have a video of Csilla saying “Hello” very clearly at about 4 months. It’s down right freaky. After that she didn’t really speak again until she was two. Strange kid. As for the Hungarian? It’s an uphill battle. Grrrrrr.
