Adam Levine and wife battling over their daughter's first word

Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine jokes he is "battling" with his supermodel wife Behati Prinsloo to get their daughter to say 'dada' first.

During an appearance on "The Tonight Show", Levine says that he and Prinsloo are desperately waiting for their five-month-old girl Dusty Rose to utter her first word, reported E! Online.

"I've been working dada hard. You slip it into everything you say," he says.

While the Grammy winner says little one has not yet said anything "concrete", he remains focused on this goal.

"I'm working super hard on it. My wife is working on mama, so it's a battle to the finish," he adds.
