I ...ROFL, that's funny. And he's so cute!<br /><br />I don't have children, but I have heard they go through stages with their Mama and Dada words. And I'm pretty sure they know how to tease when they're very young, so chances are that's what he's doing! He'll be saying Mama again before long!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806742366925677790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-36465933373157889772010-10-15T16:02:52.879-05:002010-10-15T16:02:52.879-05:00Thanks for the reassurance, everyone!
Too funny...Thanks for the reassurance, everyone! <br /><br />Too funny about the Spanish speaking toddler. Translating baby babble is hard enough - I can only imagine baby babble in another language!<br /><br />Lol, Diane! I can see that happening soon with my 10 year old. He rarely peeks his head out of his room (a.k.a the video game cave), and when he does, food is usually involved. ;)<br /><br />~GemmaGemma Hallidayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04677167276575234867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-2673622794144233892010-10-15T13:16:57.317-05:002010-10-15T13:16:57.317-05:00Be thrilled your son knows you exist.

There will be many, many, many future occasions where you will doubt the wisdom in providing any encouragement at all in the "talking" category!!! <br /><br />We had moved to Miami when my daughter was 1 and she went to an all Spanish speaking daycare. It was a wonderful daycare, but she really learned Spanish before English. Which might be a good thing....if I knew any Spanish!! It was tough figuring out what she was saying and I constantly had to ask my bilingual friends, but now she speaks both (although she hates to speak Spanish...go figure!!).krisgils33https://www.blogger.com/profile/06971511383288530885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-38539863645916442732010-10-15T08:20:22.280-05:002010-10-15T08:20:22.280-05:00Don't worry, your adorable baby will say Mama ...Don't worry, your adorable baby will say Mama soon. It will eventually be replaced by Mom, then by a whiney Mom, which will morph into Mo-om along with a teen-aged eye roll. <br /><br />I have three kids, ages 13 - 17 who are some of the coolest people I know. All these stages have still caused me to wonder why I encouraged them to speak.Robin Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16262933225938609682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-54489997617237975932010-10-15T03:41:41.708-05:002010-10-15T03:41:41.708-05:00lol shame!

"Look at the moo's." <br /><br />I.e. look at the cow. <br /><br />My brother's first words were in a language that only my Grandmother understands - and she wasn't there at the time. <br /><br />I did get round to saying Mamma though... :-)Misha Gerrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364173848456424521noreply@blogger.com
