"ma ma"

Yep, we got a "ma ma" this morning! I could hardly believe my ears! We were in our bedroom hanging out while daddy was getting dressed for work. Bo was in his exersaucer and I had been sitting next to him playing. He was getting fussy because it was nap time. I got up to go get my coffee and the next thing we heard was "MA MA". I completely took a double take and Jarrod came out of the bathroom with a puzzled look on his face. I said did you hear that? Jarrod agreed it was definitely ma ma. I ran to grab my phone to call my parents, it took them talking to Jarrod to believe me! This is the age they start to babble so every day, several times a day I do sounds with him...ma, ma, ma...da, da, da...ba, ba, ba...in hopes he would repeat them. Until now he hasn't said any of them, and I thought for sure "da da" would be his first sound. I realize that he's just making noises and he has no idea what he's saying, although it was funny that he said it as soon as I got up to walk away, he's totally in a mommy stage right now. It was the most beautiful thing I think I've ever heard. It was so weird to hear something come out of his mouth other than a scream, squeal, grunt, or cry. I'm sure it's like his first laugh was...just kind of slips out and we don't hear it again for a week or so, but I don't care...it was music to my ears!!!!!!!!!!
