While in hospital, having just taken a turn for the better, Tabby, although in G's arms, cried when I left the room. This is not unusual - she is, far more than her brothers ever were as babies, a mummies girl. She looks for me wherever I go and if I dare leave the room she gets hysterical.
Anyway - when I returned to the hospital room 30 seconds later she reached out her arms and said MUM! quite deliberately.
The boys didn't say the word MUM until, well, probably somewhere post 1 yrs old. DADA was their first word. I'm really thrilled and touched that my little girl is so attached to me that I'm her first word :-)
She said it again a couple of times after leaving hospital but with one jet lag or illness after another she stopped until Sunday when she decided that this was the day to start talking.
ALOT.
Since then we've had a constant barrage of MUMUMUMUM and RARARARARA (which Harry is determined means "Harry"), day and night!
Here's a little video of it......
