I think Sarah is saying “Mama” now. Like, actually meaning me. It’s precious!

And how does everyone else seem to identify their babies’ first words? Here’s how I approach it. Babies just start off babbling: Ba-ba-ba-ba…. da-da-da-da…. ya-ya-ya-ya…. Then one day, I realize that Sarah has been making the “ma-ma” sound while looking at me sometimes. Coincidence? Hmm…. After a few days, I’m pretty sure she’s saying “Ma-ma” and meaning me. So I declare she can say “Mama” now. But as for that single instance when she first uttered some syllables that sound like an English word and actually meant that same English word… I really have no idea when or what.

Anna thinks that when she utters the sounds “Ba-ma-ma” that she’s saying “Bad Mama.” I told her I really don’t think so. Anna maintains her position.
