I will be sitting with Alex and I will be like.. Say Mama.. He is like.. Dadda!! I cant catch a break! Now its daddy here and there... I swore he tried to say mom today but no luck..
I feel like a snowflake on this one. DD started going mamamama for over a month before she just said mama. However, she said dada for the first time a few days before saying just plain mama for the first time without ever going through a dadadada phase. So technically, its dada, I think.
She was an early babbler. She started saying "dada" at 3.5 months and "mama" at 5 months. I think she is just starting to realize what "dada" means at this point, since we all freak out with the "yes! dada!" and "that's a good girl, dada!" but just barely.

She's always been a babbler. I think the "Mamamama" sound came before "dadadada" sound. She's geat at imitating but it has no meaning, it's all just sounds and tounge play.
He babbled Mama first, but he is more consistent with Dada. He doesn't say them *about* either of us yet, but if we ask him "where's Mama/Dada" he does normally look at the proper person. I sadly suspect he will say Dada to DH first, despite me being home with him all day
Secretly (maybe not so secretly) I'm hoping he says something else entirely first - like "kitty" just so neither DH or I is hurt. We'd swear it didn't matter, but deep down, we'd be upset if he said the other one first.

DS said Mum-Ma first & dada within a few days after. He'd been babbling ma-ma, da-da, mum-mum, & other variations for a little over a month before he said it for real. He doesn't say da-da very often, but says mum-ma all the time.
