Mama, hi, A!

Baby L has been saying, "Mama, mama, mama," when he's hungry or when I am not nearby, so we're getting pretty close to calling that his official first word. He's been sick and unhappy, but he's getting better, which always makes me remember how cheery and happy he is by nature. When he's not sick, he's one of the happy generation. When he is sick, I think he's how most people walk around in the world.

But now he's got words popping out all over. He signs for milk, just like his brother did. (It's important to be able to get food.) Yesterday, while we were playing, "How big is L? So big!" over and over again, he stopped to wave at me and say, "Hi!"

This morning, C called out the window to A, who was in the backyard, "Hey, A?" and baby L said, "Aaaaaaaaaa-ay." Someone told me that the first baby's first word is, "Mama," and the second baby's first word is the first baby's name, since it's the word he hears the most. We'll see if he repeats it.
