The Magic Word [Back Dated Post]

My Angel starts calling “ma-ma” when she was around 8 months old which last for few weeks, it is something like “Mama-mammam Mama-mammam” …… after that, she’d stopped and that “magic word” never come out of her mouth ever since. At around 15th months, these words are starting to pop from my Angel mouth again but it was like Mamamama …… Mamamama …… (Is she calling me??) until 2 weeks later, she finally says “MaMa~~” loud and clear doing a little twist at the end which definitely sounds so cute! :) But lately, she started to call me “Mi~~~~” “Mi~~~” on and off. She simply did not want to say the word papa no matter what until she even call her daddy “mama” ….. hahaha. Normally babies will start to call Papa or Daddy before calling Mama or Mommy but I guess my hardwork does paid off after repeating “Mama” to her almost everyday until she will even call her Daddy – Mama :)

So finally few weeks ago, Angel suddenly started to call her daddy “Papa” for the very first time. Oh my …. You should see how happy hubby was until he kept asking Angel to call him again, again, again and again (then kiss and hug her after she calls him) until Angel almost fed up with the word :P I noticed that she actually picked up quite a lot of words by now but she is very reluctant and lazy to say it out. Sometimes when she is playing alone, I can see that she is repeating some words that we never thought that she knew but once she saw us watching her, she will stopped right away @-@

I will keep on encouraging her to talk more but not pressurized her too much as I believe every kid will have their own pace in terms of speech. I am still waiting for the day that she will surprises us with a complete sentence, loud and confidently :)
