Mama!

Louanne on Oct 14th 2007

Nadia has been able to say Ma and Da for a while. She clearly knows that Mike is Dada and gets excited when he gets home from work and usually says, “DA!” as she speed racer crawls for the door to have him pick her up. I know that she knows I am Mama, but she has not said it to me. When she gets upset, she often goes repeats, “ma ma ma ma” over and over.

On Saturday Mike was holding Nadia and said, “Where’s Mama?” And Nadia turned right and looked at me. Then she said, “Ma ma.” I got so excited!! Then Mike said, “Kiss Mama” and kissed me on the cheek. Then he said to Nadia, “Kiss Mama” and she leaned over and kissed me. I just started crying because I thought that my heart was going to burst right out of my chest. Then Mike said it again and she kissed me again. I cried some more – tears of joy of course. The sweet little baby open mouth sloppy kiss is just too sweet for words.

Today she has looked right at me and said, “Ma ma.” Or pointed to me and said, “Ma ma.” This has been the best birthday week EVER! Nadia “gave” me a mommy birthday card, she took her first tentative step and she said mama and gave me a kiss. God is good and has blessed me so much with the best husband and sweetest baby ever.

    AWWWWWW!! Juna only says Mama when she is upset. She makes the kissie noise when she wants food. She doesn’t say dada yet, either. I cannot wait. Sounds sooooo sweet!
