Breanna was just nibbling on some food that she had leftover from an earlier snack. Since supper is in about 20 minutes (the smell of Butter Chicken is KILLING me I am so hungry ohmygod), I said that maybe she should put it down for now and have it later.

“Okay Mum. I’ll put it down right here.”

1. When did she get big enough to call me MUM for god’s sake?
2. When did she learn to speak in complete sentences complete with contractions?

I still remember when “Mama” and “Dada” were exciting, even when they were just sounds and didn’t mean anything in particular. My little baby is growing up.
