[quote=Anonymous]My 14 month old can say mama -- I've heard him practice in his crib and if you ask him to say mamama, he will (if he feels like it). But when I ask him to call me Mama, he responds, "Baba!" Daddy is Dada but I am Baba. Cats, dogs, his rabbit lovey, and the roomba vaccuum that he loves are all also baba. I think he knows what I'm asking him to do because he has no problem repeating various sounds after us, but in his mind apparently I am Baba, and he has no intention of calling me anything else. It's a bit discouraging but what can you do. He is also fairly delayed in speaking, I think -- at least he's behind the other kids in his daycare -- so I'm just glad he calls me anything. [/quote]
