I was at the kitchen counter, pouring a cup of coffee, when I heard it. The sound I’ve been waiting for. R was sitting in her high chair, and she said clear as day, "Mama."
Of course I squealed and she smiled her biggest smile, thrilled with my attention, and she started in, "Mamama. Mamama."
I’m so happy!












Yay, Becca! Congrats Mama!!
