This weekend I triumphed once again. King, our second child, said Dada and Daddy. He says no other words, right now, he’s only 7 months.
Lil’ Man also said Dada first, much to Wifey’s chagrin. In fact Lil’ Man said a whole host of other words before he said Mama at 15 months. He said Dada at 8 months.
So what it boils down to is that after 9 months of carrying the rugrats in her womb, a very uncomfortable 9 months, enduring childbirth twice, and endless days and nights of breastfeeding, my boys know who really runs the show! I am so proud.

Not to burst your bubble but the reason almost all children say dada before mama is because the “d” sound is easier for them to make then the “m” sound. Their little muscles aren’t developed enough to make the “m’ sound first. But it’s okay, we moms know you dads need something to gloat about. So, go ahead bask in the glory of listening to your child say “dada.” LOL
