The word "father" can be traced back to the Latin word 'pater'.
There was a process called "the great consonant shift" which meant that related languages began to change and letters such as
"p" began to be pronounced as "f" or "v",
"t" began to be pronounced as "d"
This explains why the Latin word "pater" translates so similarly into various European languages as
* vater - German * father - English * padre - Italian & Spanish * athar - Irish (the initial consonant has disappeared altogether) * pere - French (the middle consonant has disappeared)
Personally, I think that since babies can't say father, they would say something like Dada. So since it was easier to say than "father" all the time, it caught on. I also assume that older children wanted to change it to make it sound older, they started saying "dad".
2. Children in all cultures and all languages make the sounds "MA" and "DA" first. Thus, they have through time turned into the words for parents in most languages. Dad is a natural evolution of the da-da-da-da sound that all infants make.
