Morning call

This morning I was awoken at 06:45 by baby noises coming out of Lucas’ room. There's nothing unusual about that. L. is always awake from about 06:45 onwards, but he stays in his bed and plays with his Dog until I come in with his bottle at 7am. When I’m still in bed I often hear a soft tatata or dadada coming out of his room in the morning.
But this morning was different.
I heard a distinct call. “Mama!” he called out!!!
I couldn’t believe my ears. He was actually calling me to his room!
This is the first time he has ever done that. I used to think he said Mama just like he says Dada and Tata and Baba. Just a sound. No meaning.
But here he was, calling out to me!
I rushed into his room in pure joy and covered his face with good-morning kisses!

Olá, Angie! Fico muito feliz por poder visitar o teu blog e poder manter contacto com outra mãe que vive longe, num país com tradições diferentes, assim sempre podemos aprender coisas e métodos diferentes, como é o caso do adormecer os bébés. A Victória (felizmente!) já tem dormido melhor, só acorda uma vez durante a noite para beber o leitito, e às vezes nem isso, dorme a noite toda! Deixa-me dar-te os Parabéns pelo teu filhote que é um giraço!! Quanto a ti, espero que não te importes, mas linkei o teu blog no meu, para poder acompanhar-te nesta aventura...Beijinhos!
