Peter, I know what my son's first sounds where. I was there, you were
not!

"Moo" is a word! ;-)

However, let's get really picky. He began with the "oo" sounds.

From "oo" to "moo" to "doo" to "goo" .... exactly in that order.

Notice how he first began with a sound that involved pursed lips to make
that "oo" sound. From there he moved onto the "moo" sound which involved
tightening the lips together. Then he moved on to the "doo" sound which
involved the use of the tongue. And from there, he ended up managing the
"goo" sound using the back of his throat. Notice the transition from pursed
lips to back of the throat sounds,
oo-oo-oo-moo-moo-moo-doo-doo-doo-goo-goo-goo. Once he mastered these 4
things, he could make a variety of sounds

oo
oo-moo
moo-moo
doo-doo
goo-goo

moo-moo doo goo. ;-)
