Yesterday DD said her first word, "Momma." It was more like babbling because she repeated it over and over again but I don't care, I'm taking it as her first word! Haha.
So sweet! But as a mother as three I am NOT looking forward to or teaching lo to say momma! I counted a few months ago in a half hour my 2 year old said it over 100 times! So not looking forward to having two babies saying it :
DS would babble dadadadada all the time for no reason a few months ago and DH insisted he was trying to say Daddy but I told him that he was just making sounds. Now, DS will cry Mamaaaaa when he gets upset. I take it as his first word because its the first thing he has said as a singular word rather than a continual sound like the dadadada was, you know?
Anyway, it feels great when they say Mama especially when they know who Mama is!
I'm so jealous! Dd will 'dadadada' all day long, and I cannot get her to say 'mama' for anything. The second she does, I'm counting it as her first word

My Little guy is saying this too! It melts my heart everytime even though he may just be babbling Daycare said he is saying it there too and they assume he's talking about me so they tell him I am at work and will be back later.
My daughter says "mama" always in context, when she is upset and someone else is holding her and wants to come back to me. Everyone told me I was a crazy lady for thinking it was real, until my friend who is a pediatric nurse saw her reaching for me and saying, "Mama!" She told me in her opinion she was saying it for real and not just babbling. I felt vindicated

Aww, I cannot wait for this! DD says dada and nanana but no mama yet and I have tried. I'll sit facing her saying mama mama mama and she'll get really loud and yell back DADADA. It's pretty funny!
