"Mama"

I swear to goodness that Kellen said "Mama" to me last night! He took a really long afternoon nap, and had to be starving when he woke up. We decided to wake him up for his bath, and when Kellen saw me he said, "Mama." Jeremy carried him upstairs to undress him, and I went to prepare the bath water. As I turned away, Kellen said "Mama" again! I really think he is associating me with the word!! Normally, if Kellen was just making sounds it would be more like "mamamamamama, bababababa, or dadadada," but this time he looked right at me and said clear as a bell, "Mama." Even Jeremy agreed! It was very cool. I told Maureen the next morning that we think he said Mama last night. When I got home for lunch he said Mama right away, and Maureen stated that was the first time he's said it all day. I called my mom to tell her, and she said that yesterday when I left to go back to work; as I walked out the door & closed it - he stretched his arms out and said "Mama" then too!
