Barrett's First Word

It's happened.  Barrett has done something that has, in my mind, warranted a blog entry from me.  Not that all the other things didn't, I just leave that stuff to Alli "Mommy" Wilson normally.  This afternoon I came home from work and I was tired and not feeling 100%...so kind of grumpy and not really in the best mood.  I left for work before Barrett woke up that morning though so I hadn't really seen him all day, so I got down on his play mat to play with him for a while.  We had a few laughs and then it was time for Alli and I to leave to meet some friends for dinner.  I walked into our room to get my shoes and Barrett followed Alli and I in there.  He was down near our feet and I said, "Hey buddy, you wanna come see me??"  He did not really react at that point except to start to smile.  A few seconds later I bent down and put my hands out and said "Do you want to come see me??" The little guy got all excited and then made the two best syllables I have heard in quite a while..."DaDa" he so clearly said as he reached for my hands.  At first, I sort of thought it was a fluke...but then I saw both Alli and her mom's face and I realized that I had heard correctly.  "YOU HEARD IT!" was all I could say.  Of course, he immediately wanted Mommy after that, but it was still one of the best moments for me yet.  Looking forward to many more little guy!!
