Mattie Said "Mama"!

Last night was a biggie for me!  Mattie has been babbling the "m" sound for a few days now and has even said "mama" a few times.  But it was more like babbling and I didn't really know if he knew what he was saying.  Well, last night he was tired and wanted me to hold him and give him his bottle.  I was busy putting his car seat back together after taking it apart to wash it (we all know how long and confusing that can be.)  Anyway, my back was turned to him and he just yelled at me all of sudden "Mama! Mama!"  I turned around and looked at him and I knew that he knew what he was saying and wanted my undivided attention.  It was a big deal for my little guy.  I just had to pick him up and kiss him all over :o) There is something so special about hearing any of our children say "mama" for the first time. I don't even know what the time table is for DS little boys to start purposefully talking, but I am so proud of him.  At 20 months, he babbles all the time, mimics his sister's noises and says about 10 words.  What a special blessing to me.  It reminds me not take anything for granted with our typical children either.  They are all amazing and so fearfully and wonderfully made!
