First Words???

Mike has fully entered the baby babble phase. When he gets mad instead of crying he just shouts things like ba-ba-da-ba-be-be-da-be louder and louder with a nice mad look on his face...it is actually pretty cute. So as new parents, Brad and I are attempting to decipher and pick out words from these rants (he does it when he isn't mad as well). Yesterday when I got home from work he was sitting on the floor babbling away something that sounded ridiculously like "dada dada dada" (the sweet wife that I am, I told him to keep that one in until Sunday so he could surprise daddy with a little "dada dada" action on father's day). A few minutes later I could have sworn he switched it up to baaayyy-beeee, baaayyy-beeee. And this morning he combined the two into baayyy-beee dada dada, baaayyy-beee dada. Could my kid's first words really be baby daddy? Perhaps this is a sign that we have been living in Saint Louis a little too long.

As a funny side note, Brad introduced me to the head of the orthopedics department at SLU last night as his "baby mama." Nice honey. Nice.
