Contrary to my sister's belief, this has no additional meaning. Tonight we sat down with the kids to watch a movie. Matt chose "Baby's Day Out", a movie I have seen numerous times and couldn't wait to share with the kids. Halfway through the movie Jayen shouted the word baby with perfect enunciation. Matt and I looked at each other to make sure we both heard right. We asked Jayen to repeat it again and with no difficulty he was able to say the word. So we went a little further to see if he could finally pronounce two words we have repeatedly worked on. Once again, Matt and I looked at each other and smiled. Jayen was able to say mommy, daddy, and baby! Something finally clicked for him! We've been trying to smoosh those syllables together for months. He had been able to pronounce them in isolated syllables, but NEVER before in one word. I love this little man and know that he will continue to make progress. I am still waiting patiently for the day I hear, "I love you mommy!"
