I hear rustling, you're awake from your nap.When I open the bedroom door your head pops off the mattress and you're grinning wide.I know you're still sleepy, so I pick you up and whisk you away to Mommy & Daddy's bed. "After nap" cuddles are the best and you let Mommy hug on you a bit longer ...
The First Word – “Mama”
Well, you said it. Your first word, "mama," and I'm over the moon.You smoosh your mouth together to make the "mmm" sound and your little cheeks push up to show your dimples.Once you get started I hear "mama, my, mmm, mama, mama, mama" as fast as you can get the words out of your little mouth.
