Lily and “ma”!

Lily (25 weeks and 2 days old) uttered the word “ma” last night for the first time!  I was changing her diaper and changing her into her pajamas when she clearly said “ma”!  My first reaction was “that’s a new one! good job lily!”  Then quickly after, I was like “wait.. she just said MA!” and I was super ecstatic!!  I called Khoa up and she said it two more times, he was my witness!!  At first he said “ma” isn’t a word, but according to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, it is a word and it means mother! Also, word or not, it’s still quite an achievement and rewards a happy dance!!  Right now she’s at an age where she starts to learn to mimic sounds and words she hears, and before this she would mumble a lot and say “umm” and “ahhh” a lot.  This time, she pressed her lips firmly and had a very clear “em” sound and kept making her lips like that as well, like she wanted to keep saying it more!  I’m sure she doesn’t know what she’s saying, but either way, it’s still very exciting for me and it’s amazing to see her grow and develop!  It’s the tiny little things in life that fills up our world right now, and we cannot be more grateful for our Lily and how much joy she brings us!  Until next time!
