We all froze. You could have heard a pin drop, even on the carpeted floor. We exchanged shocked expressions - did what I think just happened, just happen?

I thought, "holy crap! that's me!"

Then, my mother had the presence of mind to act. As she did, I thought, "of course! this is how we reinforce this behavior."

It was probably the most defining moment of motherhood for me thus far.

"What happened?", you ask?

Liam said "mama".

Twice.

Are you shocked he's brilliant?

Hey, we are coming to the Land of Cleve next weekend. Drop me a line if you guys will be around (can't seem to find your email address). We'd love to meet Liam, etc.

Oh my goodness!!! He's becoming cuter each day, it seems, which in itself seems impossible, and he's already said mama? Awwww :)

OK, there are those goosebumps again . . . . . :) By the time I get to meet him, he'll probably be working on his thesis....

Mara, how exciting! Little Liam is growing so big! :o)

As for Leila's blog, I just wanted to let *you* know I was relieved to see I wasn't the only one who felt the exhaustion and such associated with the first weeks (and in some cases *months*) of parenthood. It was MUCH easier the second time around, just so you know. :o)

Mara!! This is soooooooo great!!!! Congratulations!! Let's see how long he takes to go from "mama" to "Mara" :-)

Outstanding that Lindsay Lohan is getting dedicated concerning herself, she calls for rehabilitation like Mel Gibson would need a doctor, with a little luck the lady is not going to get freed from treatment quickly on this occasion as becoming released early from UCLA was in all probability the main simple reason why this girl relapsed so speedily in the 1st place, now i'm praying for you personally entirely Lindsay, seriously it's possible to succeed over your obsessions.

I think The president is more than likely wasting his time refuting Ahmadinejad as a large number of American’s happened to be lumping Ahmadinejad along side each other in to the same grouping with Obama—however , if President obama is to be trusted, and you never know in such cases, Perhaps here is the one instance where by President obama did not blame Bush.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

Wow! This could be one particular of the most beneficial blogs We have ever arrive across on this subject. Actually Great. I am also a specialist in this topic therefore I can understand your effort.

Iˇ¦m now not sure the place you are getting your information, however great topic. I must spend a while studying more or working out more. Thanks for excellent info I was searching for this info for my mission.
