Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. . .

The babies are babbling like crazy now! Their favorite consonant sound is the "d" sound - which leads to a lot of "dadadadadadadada." I know they aren't saying "Dada" for Nate - as a speech therapist (and a reasonable person) I know this. . .

But it wouldn't really hurt my feelings too much if they were saying, "Dada," and here's why:

• When they're saying "dadadadadada," I can look at Nate and say, "I think they want YOU to change their diapers/put them to bed/feed them/etc. . . "
• I also know from experience that even if they do say "Dada" before they say "Mama," they'll be saying "Mommy" the rest of their childhood. . . especially if they are anything like Isaac. . . I hear "Mommy-Mommy-Mommy-Mommy-Mommy" in my sleep these days!
