Maybe a milestone. I’m not sure.
I think Maddie is saying “mama.” I mean, she’s saying it, but I think she might be calling me “mama.” I’m not sure, though.
She’s only done it few times, but she looks right at me at smiles and says “mama.” Not the older version that was “mamamamamamamamamama,” either. Just two little ma’s.
I’ll be experimenting to see if she calls Gerald mama, too. Last night, while he was getting her undressed for her bath, he asked her if she was ready to go see mama. She replied, “mama.” I don’t know if she was mimicking him, addressing him, or answering.
I’ll keep you posted, dear readers.
In the meantime, look at these letters my mother-in-law made for Maddie. She decoupaged them and I added pink ribbon with which to hang them. I used thumbtacks to hang them, so I can move them without pounding a hundred nail holes in the wall. (That part was Gerald’s idea. I would have totally pounded a hundred nail holes in the wall if left to my own devices.)
Here they are on the kitchen counter before I hung them.
Here they are on the wall. Pretty, huh?

The letters are cute. And she is definitely calling you mama!

I say she’s calling you mama. She knows by now and can address you.
Love the letters. I did something similar in Zachariah’s room. Problem was the his name is too big and I didn’t have a wall big enough to hold all the letters, so I just used his nickname Zac. Looks cute.
The letters are adorable! And how awesome is it that she’s saying your name?!? Liam is doing the “Baaa” and “Maaa” sounds, too. Sometimes we swear we’re hearing him say “Obama, Obama”.
The letters are so pretty! And I have been curious about Maddie’s name: if “Maddie” was her full name, or if it was short for Madison or Madeleine–so I am happy to know!
