After giving me a bath, and while dressing me, my Mummy in jest, said, 'Mama, Mama, Mama, MOMMY!'.
On hearing this, it occurred to me that I could say 'Mama' more easily than 'Mommy'.
So I took a deep breath, and hollered, 'MAMA !!'.
This got Mommy and Daddy really excited. It was the first time I spoke something they really wanted to hear.
They asked me to say, 'Papa Mama' and after I struggled for some moments to control my mouth and lips, I hollered, 'BABA, MA !'.
I think I made their day. And they got me to say it all again on film.
That day, I was still shy of 5 months old. To them, it was a FANTASTIC BREAKTHROUGH because most babies only speak after they are a year old or later. They think I am gifted !
