When an infant has managed to put together two syllables that sound like a word, it’s the kind of moment parents write down in their baby’s journal, or text to the grandparents. And if they’re lucky enough, the moment is caught on video to serve as a memory.

This is an exciting event for the mom because the baby’s first words are almost as important as a person’s last word even though The Atlantic article says that first words are not something that usually goes down in a person’s historical record.

Two research scientists established a database of the words parents have heard their children say. The database is called Wordbank which shows that early words are usually very specific themes that are familiar to the infant.

Those who put up the Wordbank said, “In American English, the 10 most frequent first words, in order, are mommy, daddy, ball, bye, hi, no, dog, baby, woof woof, and banana.”

Children’s first words are said because the little ones wanted to engage and socialize with their family. They want to communicate with their parents and caretakers.
