Dominic's first word!

Dominic said his first word today at 8am - and it is "Ma Ma". Oh it is so sweet... and how exciting! :D


Adding on the next day:

Spent whole of yesterday feeling quite floaty because of this hehehe

To recap HOW it happened exactly, boy was going through his usual tantrum during morning wipe down. He was almost done and I noticed he was making word sounds like "Mmmmaaamaamamaa papa waaah *cry*" So after he was done, I carried him up to placate him. He was still making the word sounds. I encouraged him more by saying "ma ma". By accident, he said a few "ma ma"s, to which I gave lots of praise. He too surprised himself by his words. I kept saying "ma ma" for him to imitate. And then, right in front of my bedroom mirror, boy looked intent for a while, then with a blank look he said it - "MA MA" loud and clear. WAAAHHH *applause heaps of praises etc from me* I repeated "ma ma", and after a while he said again "ma ma". Then he was done, and off we went to Ah Ma's.

Ah Ma's feedback of yesterday was that he was a chatty boy all day at her place! Kept talking and said "ma ma", "pa pa", "mum mum". Unfortunately when boy came back home, he was in his usual grouchy-sleepy mood and kept silent. Thus poor daddy did not have a chance to hear boy speak. Another day, we hope!
