FIRST WORDS!

So Jaxon has always been a "talker". He is one of those babies who loves to hear the sound of his voice. Even when he was a newborn the whole time he was awake, asleep, eating, or anything he was constantly making noise. He has mastered many sounds. He had ba, da, ra, ga, go, do, dob, bob, etc.

About a week and a half ago, he started saying mamamamama. I figured it was just a new sound even though my heart jumped when he started because you dream your whole life of hearing that sound. I figured at first he didn't know what he was doing, just making noise like usual. Then I started noticing that when I left the room instead of whining he would go "MoM.... mama... mom!!" and I got a little suspicious.

I asked my friend when I went to her house what she thought as he was making the sounds. She said she thought he knew what he was saying because he was looking right at me while he was in the jumper she had at her house and saying "Mama!".

Then finally the other day, daddy was holding him and he was being quiet. He looked right at me, reached out his arms to me and said "Mama" and smiled.

YAY!!!

He has recently started saying "dada" but I don't think he has connected it with David just yet. For now, I am very happy that he knows who I am and that I have a name. It is so sweet to hear his little voice say "mama".
