Elektra's first word

Elektra has been babbling for quite a while now, with various consonants and sounds. Ma ma and da da have come out, and once or twice we think she's tried to say "da da" in conjunction with seeing Steve. But it hasn't been consistent. I have noticed that if I am changing her and Steve is in the room and I say "da da" to her, she will turn and look at Steve very specifically. It's hit or miss with ma ma.

I have also asked her to say "DJ" and that also comes out at "Da Da". She only seems to say that when she is imitading you, not unprompted.

Yesterday, however, she was in her high chair, dropped her bottle onto the floor and said, "UH-oh." And she says that regularly, so I think that is her first word.
