It was really satisfying to hear one's baby call one ma ma. Its like, I am finally being recognized for my months of hard work. Even when she cries out for me, she will cry for ma ma! Awww....I love her!
She has also started lifting herself up, standing and then letting go of her support! She can even stand and clap her hands! Soon, she will be running all over!
