Baby Monitor

This morning after waking up at 6:30am and after I prepped Baby J.'s bottle, my wife was changing her diaper. The baby monitor was still on, so I could hear their entire conversation. It went something like this:

My wife: Say, 'mama'. Say 'mama'.

Baby J. emits louding farting noise.

My wife: That's not how you say 'mama'.

We have been waiting for Baby J. to start babbling 'mama' for awhile now. She will on occasion say, 'mum' or 'ma', but it's random, and she doesn't repeat it. Meanwhile, she's been babbling 'dada' for a few months now. Whenever my wife says, "say mama" to Baby J. she gets a quizzical look in response. We keep asking, and we keep waiting.
