Ma MA!

Last Tuesday, Aiden said Ma ma for the first time!



I was trying to be very practical about it- oh, no. He doesn't really know what he is saying... so I continue washing dishes. Tired and worn out from the move, I was looking forward to baby bedtime.



In an attempt to get my undivided attention, Aiden stops bouncing in the jump up and exclaims, "Ma MA!"



I shut off the water, turned around and stared at him; with a grin, he began bouncing again... then said, " Ma ma" very calmly.



Quickly finishing the dishes, I turn my back on him again and the same thing happened- Ma MA with shrill emphasis on the second syllabul. How precious, I thought. Aiden is trying to get my attention.



Since then, he has called me Ma ma every day, but usually when he wants my attention, while we are driving, or if he is procrastinating nap or bed time. Ah, ha. Smart little guy. Make an irritated mommy's heart melt!



We are currently working on "Gee-dad," "Juu-wee" and "Ma-kee." Bonnie, Spanky and Miranda will have to come later!
