Allie has been saying "Mom!" and "Mama!" and "Mum!"
Tonight at dinner we were feeding Allie oranges, which she loves. She would eat one, kick her feet, and say "mama!"
I said, "It's like she thinks saying Mama will get her an orange."
G said, "How do you think I taught her to say Mama? I would say Mama as I gave her a piece of food she liked."
All this time, I thought she was saying Mama because she was trying to talk to us (she says "mama" to both of us at this point). Apparently, she was really just asking for something yummy.
