First Words

Thaddeus is saying "mama" and "dada" now! He has been babbling mama for about a week and twice earlier this week he said it while he was upset and wanting me to pick him up and I thought "Did he just say mama?" but this morning I was sure of it. He was happily laying on his back on the bed while I was getting dressed and he looked at me smiling but not making any noise, and out of nowhere he said "mama". Two syllables very clear and purposeful! I was so proud. Nathan heard it, too. We have also heard him babbling "dada", also and he was saying it this morning while he was looking at Nathan and smacking him in the face in bed. Its wasn't as clear, just dadadabuhdadabuhda, but I'm pretty sure that's what he was meaning to say. I told Callia about it and it seemed like she could barely believe it. She was like "Thaddeus said Mama?" and I said yeah and she was gasping like it was wonderful. Cute.
