Check!

This morning’s wake up was a typical one;
My daughter roused early and spent time playing in her room. That was until about 6:15 when I heard her calling for me, somewhat frantically.
I hopped out of bed and went straight to her room.
“Mommy!” I heard her crying.
“I NEED to hear ‘Defying Gravity!'”
Okay.
And her sharp cries woke up the baby. Another country heard from.
I gathered my eldest and we made our way down the hall towards our babies room, and she charged in.
“Mama!” he cried.
“He said ‘Mama’!” Shouted my daughter.
I picked him up and put him on his changing table as my daughter stood on the stool in his room to turn on the light.
Something must have happened because she said “Uh oh” and wouldn’t you know it, the baby echoed her with an “Uh oh” of his own.
My daughter gasped.
And then she walked over to us.
“Well mom, talking baby? Check!”

This weekend, my daughter started saying “Ma. Mama. Ma.”

All of the books call it “babbling”.

I prefer to call it an ode to her favorite person in the world.

I told you so!

So, for all of you naysayers
who scoffed at my earlier declaration
that my 16 week old daughter said the word “Becca” this morning,
check this out:
This evening, my husband had his own encounter of the talking-baby-kind.
And let me tell you,
the man was excited.
“BEC! I SWEAR TO YOU, SHE SAID HI! SHE SAID HI TO ME!”
“REALLY?!?!?!”
“I SWEARRRRRR. I said, ‘Hi’ and then she said ‘Ehh’ and I said ‘Hi’ again and then she said ‘Hiiii'”
“See! I told you, so! Nanny nanny boo boo!” (or, something like that.)
I decided to test it out myself.
I said “Hi”
She marched and kicked her legs.
I said “Goo goo ga ga.”
She laughed.
That is so beneath her.
Well, there you have it, folks.
I hate to say “I told you so”,
but hey,
I guess I don’t have to.
My daughter will say it,
for me.

I’m pretty sure that my daughter just looked at me and said, “Becca”.
THAT’S MY NAME.
Now, I was the only one around to hear it,
and yeah, there’s that whole,
she doesn’t know how to talk, yet, thing,
but I swear,
she looked at me,
smack in the eyes,
and called me by my name.
It’s not “Mama”, but I’ll take it!
