She said, and she meant it.
For the last week or two, Vivi was saying mamama and dadada to us, but of course it's difficult to tell when they make the leap from babbling to communicating. Well, we think she's done it. Last night while I was making dinner, a cranky Vivi wailed imploringly at me, "Mama... mama!"
Daddy came home, and she said, "Dada!"
This morning Jesse got her up and she looked at him and said, "Mama!"
He said, "Do you want Dada?"
She said, "Mama!"
Guess who got to wake mama up this morning. That puts her at about the same age that Zach was when he made his first purposeful utterance.
She has also been waving at everyone and anything that says "Hi!" to her for the last week or so. Then she claps for herself. So cute. She also pulls her hair (and mine, though that's not the point) and tries to put things on her head.
The one thing I can't figure out is when she raises one arm and rests her head on her shoulder. It might be that she is trying to ask me to pick her up? Don't know.
Anyway, point is I am thrilled to claim post as first parent asked for by name with this child. Vivian rules.
