Mama

Emmett has been babbling for some time now and often says a string of Mama's and Dada's but has never really connected them with us.  That is until today.  Emmett finished his bottle in his crib, stood up, looked at me and said, "Mama."  It was a total statement, not a question, not a babble.  And, of course, I squirted out a tear.  Darn these kids.
