Mom's Hard Work Down the Drain

So I have been secretly working with Braden for the past several weeks on saying ma ma. I have to admit, it wasn't going so well and we hadn't made very much progress on it. I thought, Alexa said da da first, this time I am determined to get ma ma out of Braden. After all I deserved it, right? I am the one who was pregnant for 9 months, the one who has to give birth to these babies, the one up at night feeding them, the one who worries constantly day in and day out that everything is perfect for them and that they are as safe as possible.

This past week I could feel it coming I knew he was about to break out and just SAY SOMETHING already.

Well, he did, loud and clear....DA DA.

Not once or twice but basically that's all that has been coming out of his mouth for the last like 5 days.

How could this happen? I know Matt wasn't secretly working with him too, was he? Didn't he know how much I really wanted him to say ma ma first?

Then I realized that Matt deserved it just as much as I thought I did. He loves them just as much as I do and he is a wonderful daddy. Besides it sounds pretty dang cute when Braden says "da da da da" all day and it was cute how excited Matt was to hear it!
