I'm still waiting to hear what I'll end up being. I refer to myself as mummy, but she's only said mama twice and I'm not sure she meant me. She refers to her dad as dada now. She's blabs syllables all the time and all so far seem to be in "English". You know, doo for dog, baa for bus, boo for ball, babbai for byebye. Only "Finnish" I've heard say was this week, hehhei and then she waved.

RA- your Little One is still very young- from what she is currently saying, it sounds like she is doing very well.

Just think, it's only a few short years until she'll be saying "You suck and you're a terrible mother!" in a tantrum fit! :)

Oh gosh! I can already see it now.... Oh no. Hubby suggested that when we go to Kenya go visit my old boarding school and take a picture of her in front of the big gates, then when the tantrums start we can always suggest that she 'take a holiday' there hahaha.
