Yes, I'm Ma ma

This past weekend it happened! I was sitting working on the computer while Grady played on the floor behind me. He was chattering to him self, saying the usual Ga-ba-ga, Mmmmm-ba and so on. Or course this very cute, so I was sitting listening to him telling stories when I heard Mmmm, Mmm, MA MA Mom! I almost fell off my chair I was so excited. Of course, I tried to reinforce this new little word by repeating it many times, to which he would usually answer back with just a little smile. Over the past few days he has picked this word up with flying colors and can often be heard chattering mom mom mom. I love it. Now, I am not naive and know that he is not fully aware that I am Mom as is demonstrated when he calls his bear Mom, his rattle mom, or anyone who will listen mom. But I love it all the same! I am Ma ma!
