ma-ma-ma-ma-ma!!!!!!!!!!!!

She said it today!  She totally, clear as day say ma-ma to me.  I was upstairs with Mav and she was downstairs playing after breakfast.  Before Mav, this used to be one of my favorite times of day because I could come upstairs and do what I wanted after breakfast for a good 20 min or so and she was happy to play downstairs by herself.  Now, she usually whines after a few minutes because she knows I am up there with Mav and wants in on the action.  So I heard her down there this morning and she had went to the bottom of the stairs and stood at the gate and was kind of just yelling up to me, babbling and fussing.  I told her "just a minute" and then she started with the "ma ma ma" or "mum mum mum" was a little closer to how it sounded actually.  I went down the stairs so excited and said "Yes....that's me....Mum Mum."  And she totally got it.  She said it a few times throughout the day and tonight, but she will still, when I ask her to say it, look me in the eye and say "Dada" most of the time.  But she DID say it a few times, and she really does say it so sweetly it melts me.  I feel like I have waited forever for this day and I was so excited to finally hear that.  I know it would feel good to finally hear but I had no idea how good. Tula, I love you so much.  Thanks for making me feel like the most special mom in the whole wide world today.  I needed that!

I will post a video as soon as I have it.  I have a feeling that's going to take a while though!  I tried to record her saying it tonight and she wasn't havin it at all!
