Mama

So it took Milo quite a long time to get to the point where he was saying "mama" routinely. He started using it more often on my birthday this past summer ~ when we had gone out of town and we were trying to get him to sleep in his pack & play.....mommy and daddy trying to "ignore" milo at 3am after trying to get him to sleep with us and milo thinking it's PLAY TIME...mommy puts milo back into his p&p and tries not to move so milo thinks mommy and daddy are sleeping and decides he should probably do the same.....then all of a sudden milo pulls out the "mama?" mama?" ~ ummmmm.......I'm thinking "are you serious??" you decided that NOW is the time to start using "mama"??!! ;) anyway.......back to the original story. So Milo was about 16mo when he decided to start "really" saying mama.....
I couldn't WAIT for the day when I would be called mama by my sweet little bugaboo.....it was music to my ears ~ it has taken a couple of months for Milo to actually refer to me continuously as "mama" but now.....well now I hear "mama" ALL DAY LONG! ;) Actually it's more like "mumu" (short u sound with emphasis on the second syllable! :)) It's the cutest thing I've ever heard and he almost makes me laugh every time he says it. :) I just hope that when he's still yelling it to me all day long a year from now......that I still think it's the cutest thing I've ever heard. ;)
