He called me "Mama!"

HE CALLED ME "MAMA"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, over a wk ago, Little Man said, "Mama" 2x while taking a break from chewing on my arm, but he hadn't said it since and I didn't think it counted as he didn't seem to actually be using it in reference to me.

BUT!!!!!!!!!!

Today, he has been doing a lot of sounds, Mama, Ga-ga, Dada etc... well, my half-sister was holding him and he began to say, "Mu, Mu, Mu, Ma, Ma, MMMMMMMMMMMM, MAMA, Mama!" and he sorta lunged away from her arms and reached for me at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited!!!!

And he just did it again while I was posting this!!!!!!!!!!

what Little Man eats

boob first thing in the morning (6:30). 2 to 3 hrs later, 3 tablespoons of rice cereal mixed with breast-milk and depending on weather 1.5 - 3 tablespoons of fruits followed about 15 mins later by more boob. (if it's cold, he always wants to eat more than if it is mild out)

about 2 to 3 hrs later, 3 tablespoons of rice cereal mixed with breast-milk and 2 - 3 tablespoons of veggies followed about 15 mins later by more boob. Though if he still acts like he wants more solids I'll give him one tablespoon of fruit if he hasn't pooped in a day or of veggie if he has. Then, if he acts thirsty, he gets boob immediately elsewise I wait 15 mins to a half hour as he's very good at letting me know if he's hungry.

About 3.5 hrs after this he gets 3 tablespoons of rice cereal mixed with breast-milk and 2 tablespoons of veggies followed about 15 mins later by more boob.

About 3 hrs after this he may get 2 table spoons of rice cereal mixed with breast-milk if he seems unsatisfied by boob. And then I feed on demand until bedtime via boob.

The timeframes are based on the sked that Little Man has set for himself.. if he gives me his hunger cues earlier or later, I feed him when I see the cues.

Little Man's first tooth
Bottom left incisior

Discovered Feb 1st by feel and got the visual last night (because I finally got him to stop putting his tongue over that area) :>:>:>
