The Can Cupboard

Soren zipped into the kitchen while I was folding laundry this morning. I heard him open his favorite cupboard and start rustling around with the canned goods.

I figured he'd be occupied for a while. I just kept folding.

A few minutes later, he crawled out of the kitchen and back into the living room to play with some more conventional toys.

When I finished the folding, I got up to put the cans away. I scooped Soren up and started singing our "clean up" song while walking to the kitchen.

But when I got there, there was nothing to clean up. None of the cans where out of the cupboard. Instead, I saw this:

Milestone: New Syllable

This feels like such a silly thing to report about but it's got me tickled pink. Today Soren learned, what I feel, is the most important of all the English syllables: "ma". And it's about time. After months and months of hearing nothing but "da da da da" all day long, it's a refreshing change. I'm pretty sure that "da da" and "ma ma" don't correlate to anything in his mind yet.
