the most beautiful syllables in the universe

for the record: week 33, 20.5 lbs, about 70cm long

this past week dd has been keeping to her routine - in the daytime anyways. but what's more significant than her night wakings (or rather night wailings), which have occurred ever since we went away on holiday 3 weeks ago, is that her vocalisations actually mean something these days.

for quite a while now dd has been babbling loads ("mama, dada, baba" seemingly indiscriminately), but this past week i have noticed that whenever she desperately wants something she would call out, "Ma ma!"

now, whether "mama" = help, get me outta here OR "mama"= mummy,
only time (or dd) will tell!

whatever, "ma" is definitely the most beautiful syllable in the universe, and the combo "mama" the sweetest.
