We've been trying to get Alaina to say "Dada" too. The other day we were trying to get her to say it, and she looked right at her dad and said "Bob" and grinned. It was pretty funny. Brad's not sure how he feels about being called Bob, so we're working with her. For now she just smiles really big whenever we say "Dada".This has led me to remember listening to a conversation my sisters-in-law had about their kids saying "Mama" when they're sad, and "Dada" when they're happy. At the time I thought it was really funny. Now I'm not really laughing because I want Alaina to say "Mama" when she's happy too. Maybe that will come later. For now, I'm happy she loves her Daddy so much, but knows she can call her "Mmmah-mmah" when she's sad.

It's so true! James did say mama first, but once he started saying dada, he even called me dada-when he was happy, when he was sad he would call for mama.
Bob, huh, that's funny.
She is getting so big! What a cutie!
Neither of my kids said Mama first...I've been cheated!
Maybe we should all call Brad, Bob for a while. That gave me a good chuckle.
Don't worry the day will come when she says Mama when she's happy too...though I find that when the kids are sad or upset or hurt...they still look for Mama...
I can't believe she is already starting to get so big and say mama. She is just too cute! That is funny she said Bob. I agree with Leslie maybe we should call Brad Bob for a while : )
