Mama Mama Mama

Brynn can say Mama! Or actually "Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma". Here's a video from last week. I thought she'd say it for a day or 2 and then move on to other sounds, but she's still going strong.


Not a great video. Clearly she needs to be louder and more assertive to be heard in this household, but I'm sure it won't take her long to figure that out.

It should be noted that Brynn has NOT said the "Dada" sound yet. She is my only child to say "Mama" before "Dada". As if it wasn't clear before that she's a Momma's girl, we now have additional proof.

And as for an update on Ethan...he hasn't been in our room in the middle of the night at all this week. Cha Ching! Actually I think he's afraid to come in our room now at all because he doesn't even come in when it's morning. All it took was ice cream the first day, a single malted milk ball the next couple days, and then the promise of a "special treat" that last couple of days. He asks for his "special treat" as soon as I see him in the morning, but I've failed to actually follow through. Problem solved, right? Wrong.

Instead of coming in our room in the morning, now he goes in Brynn's room. At around 6:20 or 6:30. One time she was already awake. The other times he has woken her up. I'm sure he knows better than to go in Blythe's room. She loves her sleep and will likely bite his head off if he tries to wake her too early. And now he thinks our room is off limits. So that leaves Brynn. And of course she acts very happy to see him every morning, so why not? Grrrrr.
