I don't remember. But I do clearly remember what Rosa's was. She was about nine months old, and she said "Down!" For a month or a few weeks, it was the word she used for all transitions in a vertical direction. It meant "Pick me up!" It meant "Put me down!" It even meant "I wanna go downstairs."
She was an early talker. Didn't start walking until thirteen months, but by that time she had a couple-hundred-word vocabulary and was starting to put words into combinations.
