My daughter Catherine (days away from 16 months), says Dada pretty
clearly, and a number of "b" words, such as ball, baby, bubble and bear.
She also says Mama, or so I thought.  Tonight, as we were playing, I
heard her say mama, and looked up to say "Yes sweetheart?" and noticed
that she was not looking at me, but at Pippin, who was hiding in a box.
She was saying "meow meow", which means cat, I suppose.  She did it
several times this evening, always in the context of a real or toy cat.

So either I'm a cat too, or I just have to wait to hear Mommy.

Cheers
