Ellie has mastered saying ‘mama’ and ‘da!’ appropriately for me and Nic. It blows me away at how much earlier she’s getting the communication stuff! She might not be crawling, buy she’s waving and saying mama and da! (mama is always murmured in quiet affection, particularly nursing, DA! Is usually shouted in excitement when he comes into view or shouted with irritation at whatever doorway he just left through)
