Warnings: none
"Come on, Dal, say 'Dada'," Daniel coaxed his son. He felt Daisy elbow him in the side as she interjected.
"No, Dal, say 'Mama'!" Daisy interrupted, making a goofy face and making Dallas laugh.
Dallas was well on his way to say his first word. He had started babbling a few days ago, and his parents took it upon themselves to either make "Mama" or "Dada" his first word.
Daniel was currently shaking Dallas's favorite toy in front of him while his wife was using her powers to make one of Dallas's toy blocks spin in the air. However, the baby was uninterested, trying to peek past his hulking parents' figures to see the TV.
"He's gonna say 'Mama', I can feel it," Daisy said triumphantly, though it was still too early to tell.
"Nope," Daniel responded, still shaking Dallas's stuffed panda in front of him. "He's going to say 'Dada' first."
"Whatever you say, Danny Boy," Daisy rolled her eyes, before taking another tiny block in her hand and Quaking that as well. "Come on, sweetie!"
Dallas was growing increasingly frustrated, squirming from his place on the high-chair in the kitchen. He started babbling, his parents eagerly leaning forward to listen.
"Ma-ma!"
"No. Da-da!"
"Mm-buh! Mm-buh!" Dallas managed to say, trying to push his parents out of the way with his tiny arms.
Daisy's eyes gleamed with accomplishment, certain that Dallas would say "Mama". She took a step back, watching her son carefully.
There! Dallas could see the TV now, though his dad was blocking half of the screen. That was more than enough.
"Bee!" Dallas giggled as he pointed to a light blue bee buzzing around the TV screen, a companion to the cartoon's main character. "Bee! Bee!"
Daisy looked at Daniel. Daniel looked at Daisy. Before long, the couple burst out laughing, congratulating their son. Daniel's laugh was hearty and loud, lifting Dallas from the high-chair and lifting him towards the sky. Dallas, however, kept his focus on the buzzing blue bee flying across the screen.
