Last night was a wonderful first. For the first time, Zane turned to me, held his arms out and cried “Mama!” It sounds a little more like Mamoh, but he called me directly by name for the first time. I know that is supposed to be one of their first words, and he has said it to other people, but he has never addressed me directly by name before. I was trying to get him to go to sleep and he looked up outstretched his arms and said it and I forgot entirely what I was doing and picked him up and hugged him. It took a minute for me to realize I should probably lay him back down because I was trying to get him to sleep, not wake up. lol.
Sounds like our boys are doing similar things, except with my ds the unspoken word was daddy. It makes me think about appreciating the numerous times every day that Zep calls out MAMA! I need to work on this. Congrats on Zane’s milestone.
I have heard him call you that several times, but never TO you, only ABOUT you. I’m thrilled for you beyond words!!!
Thats our little man!!
I can hear your smile.
