Remi’s first word?
November 7th, 2009 Posted 5:39 pm

Remi watched as Anna walked out the door for work. She stared at the door for several seconds waiting for Anna to return. When Anna didn’t appear the tears started. The sound accompanying the tears wasn’t the usual baby babble. She was saying, “Mama, Mama, Mama” over and over.
She was all into “Da” sounds a couple weeks ago and we thought she was going to say “Dada” at any point. No such luck. She likes Mama more.
Even though she will say, “mamamamama” with no connection to Anna the above scenario has repeated itself enough that I think it’s pretty clear she knows Mama = Anna.
She turned 7 months old yesterday too!
Update: it’s been a week & no more “mamamama”. Maybe it was only a sound she discovered for a few days. Either way, I’d say this was not an official first word.
