Rachel said a discernible "Dada"! today when Drew was putting her hoodie on as we prepared to take her to daycare. I knew it was too much to hope that "mama" would be her first sounds, but, still, I secretly wished she would. Now I just hope that "Dada" is consistent and it wasn't just Rachel making random sounds...
We had fun last night before bedtime. She was scooting around on the floor, when all of a sudden she ended up at the opposite side of the couch from where I was relaxing. She peeked her head around and gave me a mischievous smile, and I couldn't help myself -- I burst out laughing. Then she backed away, peeked her head out again, smiled, and I laughed again.
You know you're a mom when feel you can do this for hours and hours.
It's a good thing Rachel is cheerful when she's awake. Later last night, she woke up shrieking, not once but TWICE. Drew got up and dealt with her, and out of total pity I let him sleep late this morning while I fed her and told her, very seriously, that she really needs to re-learn how to fall asleep and stay there through the night.
She responded by grabbing the bottle and banging it against my chest, looking very pleased with herself the whole time.

Most babies say "Dada" first b/c the D is an easier sound for them to make than M.
