Mommy Musings

Do you remember this post I wrote back in JULY about how Little M refused to say mom?  Well over the past few months her vocabulary has increased so much I can't even count how many words she says now.  She talks in phrases and some sentences.  She can even sing some songs!  But she STILL refused to say mom, momma, or mommy. UNTIL THE OTHER DAY!!!!!  Little M woke up the other morning and standing in her crib she yelled out, "Mom! Mom!" I have never gotten out of bed so fast!  Now she calls me mom all the time, like she's been saying it her whole life.  Silly little girl.  It was a long time waiting for her to say my name, but it was definitely worth the wait!

Little M refuses to say 'Momma' 'Mommy' 'Mom' or anything else like it.  Just simply refuses.  She says 'Elmo' so I know she can say the 'M' sound.  She just doesn't want to say my name. On the other hand, 'Daddy' is everything.  She calls to him, says his name when he's not home, and excitedly yells 'Daddy' whenever she sees a picture of him.  And the icing on the cake?  As I was changing her diaper yesterday, Little M said, clear as day 'I love Daddy'.  That little stinker.  She can say 'I love Daddy' {and repeated it a few other times later} but will not say 'Mommy'. I told Skip he's having the next kid.  And I'm changing my name to Daddy.
