Alice's first word is "tickle." Really. Yeah, I know. That's what I said.
The daycare teacher told me about 2 weeks ago that when she tickles Alice, she'll say "tickle tickle tickle" while she does it, and now Alice says that back. Alice *loves* to say it, even when they put her in the crib for a nap, she'll say it to herself as she's falling asleep. The only time she won't say it is when I am *trying* to get her to say it in front of other people (sigh). Anyway, this morning Alice was in her highchair and Helen stood next to her, and Alice reached over with her hand to touch Helen's shoulder and said "tickle tickle tickle." No prompting from me, I hadn't been tickling her - she had finished eating breakfast, and I was taking pictures of her holding her baby doll. Just spontaneously, she reached out to do that to her sister. Cutest. Thing. Ever!
So I told that story to the daycare teacher this morning, and she said, "Oh, all the nursery parents just love Alice, because when they come in, Alice crawls over to the babies and touches the babies' feet and says, 'tickle tickle tickle.' "

She may be the first kid on earth to say tickle as her first word. There are certainly worse words than this to learn.
As a totally unbiased observer, that is one darling girl.
