He said "mama"
Caleb has been saying different sounds for a long time. For a while he went through a phase where he'd cry and cry "ma ma ma ma ma ma." Some wanted to tell me he was crying for me, but I didn't buy it.
So Bob has been asking him "where's mama?" or "point to mama Caleb" and he's kind of getting into it. Last night it was time for bed and Caleb was sitting in the middle of the floor. Bob was turning off the cd player and said something like "go get mama, Caleb" or "where's mama?". Anyway, he looks at me across the room, points his cute little chubby finger and says "mama!" with a huge smile on his face. Yippee, it made my little heart go pitter patter, my baby knows me! He said it, he really said it!

Awww... that is precious, I think I might cry a little. We have the same thing here- mamamamamama all day long and dadadadadad too. But no recognition as to what he is saying.

That's great! Can't wait to hear what he calls me - that could be a bit yet.

this is very cool, i forget my machismo when stuff like that happens and tend to tear up...

and similarly, I love it when he comes racing to the door when I come home, undoubtedly prompted by the dog barking like crazy.
