Congratulations and best wishes. Great to have someone else of child-bearing (or -siring) age here; we seem to have only a few youngsters, like Jazzoctopus and Belligerentyouth, to liven up us old geezers.

I don't know what my first words may have been. But an interesting story I was told in my Philosophy class years ago concerned John Stuart Mill, who apparently had an IQ of awsome dimensions (if IQs have dimensions). Anyway, it was told that he never spoke at all until he was 2 years old, by which time his mother had borne another son. The baby was having a squalling fit, so John's first words were, "What ails wee Jock?"
