Ma Ma!!!!!

Brendan's vocabulary has been increasing at an amazing rate lately, however there was one word that was sorely missing...."Ma Ma" or anything resembling it! For awhile, when I would go upstairs to get him in the morning, I was greeted with a "Da-da"! Partially because I think he loved saying it and partially because he adores his Daddy. About 2 weeks ago, while shopping with Mamaw, Brendan did point to me and say "Ma Ma", but it really hadn't happened again and I was worried it was a fluke! Chris and I had started playing somewhat of a game with Brendan...pointing at Chris and saying "Da Da", then pointing at myself and saying "Ma Ma".

Well...it finally paid off!!!! We were at a family birthday celebration tonight and Brendan looked at me, pointed and said "Ma Ma!" quite adamantly too! :) I was soooo happy...not going to lie...I got a little teary eyed! :)

In celebration of this feat, I thought that I'd make a list of the words that Brendan has just for fun. :)

He will roar at a lion picture, says "ba ba" for sheep and quack quack for ducks.

I'm sure that there are a few others that I'm missing/can't think of right now. I'll try to come back and add them as I think of them/hear him say them.

ETA: "Wa tha?" or "Tha?) (What's that?)
