Elliot's First Word

Okay, I’ve been pressured by a family member, who shall remain nameless, to disclose certain key facts. 
First word:  Turtle.  
Pronunciation:  Tuh-Tah



The turtle in question is about half his length, with a plastic shell and plush head and limbs.  When you push a button on its back, it shines light and casts stars on the ceiling at night.  We have never used its intended function, btw.  Once a toy becomes your best friend, it’s cruel to put it work.  That’s what Hannah and I believe, anyway. 
Second word (closely tied with first): Cat.  

Pronunciation: Kah.  (Less understandable, but a billion times more adorable.)
This, of course, refers to Ding Dong, who we were cat sitters for in January.  Irina took Ding Dong back a few days ago, but she made a big impression. 
You will be updated as further words roll in.  Or out, as the case may be. 
(fwiw, nameless family member, I had every intention of posting this news eventually.  I was just taking my time and crafting to perfection the delivery of the exciting news.  As a wordsmith yourself, you should appreciate the value therein.)
