One Simple Word

Jack has been pretty chatty for months. He talks all the time. Dada, mama, go go go, and other sounds come and go, but none of them seem to have any meaning behind them. He tries out a new sound every week and babels constantly, but that has been it, until yesterday. He finally realized he can communicate to get what he wants, well with one word at least: mom. For the first time, he started saying mom with specific intention to get me. Not mama, but mom. Stuart was bouncing off the ceiling with excitement. (I just love how excited he gets with all the little things involving his children, he is a great dad.) I just cried.

The last 2 weeks have been challenging with teething and changing nap schedules and this just made up for everything.

Is he telling us he has Mom in the palm of his hand? He's a smart kid, you know - he'll figure out ALL your buttons!!
