This beautiful little boy says Mama. Imants thinks it's for me. I thought it was mindless babble. He says it and smiles. I say it back to him and he smiles bigger and brighter. I laugh and say, "He doesn't mean Mama. He doesn't mean me", but inside I'm loving it. I'm starting to believe he means me.
So I ask around to some adoptive parents, "When did your child say mama?" I waited for the answer, all proud of my boy and myself. Then I find out that Ma or Mama is Korean baby talk for food. Suddenly I flash to all those sweet little times he said mama.... from his highchair. Oh well.... he'll say it and mean it one day. For now, the boy loves his food.

This story made me laugh out loud.
Awww..... he loves his ma as much as his food :)
He is a handsome boy!!
His picture just makes me smile:) What a sweet boy...and a cute story.
Look at those side swept bangs and perfect little lips. He is just stunning! I guess, the way to his heart is through his stomach--too cute!
