Today marked a milestone. Jon put Gwen in bed with me this morning before he left for work. While we were all snuggled up Gwen looked at me and said, "mama". I almost started to cry. It has been rumored that she has uttered this word before but I had never heard it. She has said "dadda" for months and it is so sweet. Whenever she hears the garage door opening she gets a big grin on her face and says, "dadda dadda dadda" anxiously waiting for him to walk through the door. I know that it has nothing to do with love and everything to do with speech development but boy did I want to hear "mama". Every day I would put her hand on her chest and would say, "gwen" and then I would put her hand on me and say, "mama". I guess those adorable, chubby little lips were finally ready to make the "m" sound. I have to think there is no sweeter sound than your little one saying mama.
