But No "Mama"...

A list of words that my daughter has said before she dares to utter the word "Mama":

1. Dada
2. all done
3. Where go?
4. Daisy
5. owl
6. cat
7. bear
8. bubbles
9. yellow
10. hello
11. up (up, up)
12. down
13. out
14. der (there)
15. dat (that)
16. Bop (her current substitution for Mama)

I know, I know.

The /m/ sound is difficult to form.

It's a physical limitation that will disappear soon enough.

She doesn't love me any less.

But please? For me? Just that one little word...I can't wait to hear it.

  1. Or you could have "ma ma ma ma" for everything and every situation. That's what we have going on around here.

    And I really like that she calls you "bop". I hope it sticks.
