The sweetest sound

Today will be the day that I remember as the first time Maddy called me 'Mama'. So exciting and worth the wait. I was sitting with her at the computer as we often do because she always wants to sit and watch what we're doing. I don't remember what I was looking at, just general surfing and she turned to me, patted me on the chest twice and said "mama, mama". Ahhhh, yippeee! She has said "dada" a long time ago and Josh has also taken "baba" (chinese for 'dad') but this was the first time she's said "mama" and I know she meant me. I was so happy that I hugged and kissed her. She was quite please with herself and then to top off an already awesome moment, she rested her head against my chest a couple of times. She said "mama" once more and then as time passed, it turn more into "mmmmah, mmmmah" which is the sound we make when she on the potty. Ha, ha! Oh well, I'll just keep playing the other moment in my head.
