"ba"

If I like something I give it a "smushy".
I really like my ball.

You can see I have a natural talent with it.
Perhaps basketball is in my future?
I am almost 33 inches tall already...

If you tell me to go get the ball,
I know exactly what you mean and I'll go get it.
Usually I crawl to it (very, very fast)
and get very excited when I get there.

This is me saying "ball", but really it sounds like "ba".
We can conclude that "ba" is my first word- well, not counting "ma, mom, and da"....
