<a href="" target="_blank"><img src="" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

he was really trying to say "Obama"

I guess he really likes him. :-)

1. Congrats! He is adorable! from a fellow Obama Mama!

I predict great things from that boy! :hi:

My son's first word was "da-kee" (he loved a yellow rubber duckie). My daughter's was "elmo"

[OhioBlue]

2. thank you!!!

He makes me so happy!

4. as a 3 or 4 year old, my niece used to call her yellow duck - "yallo guck"

I still tease her about it, she is over 10 now and speaks English & Italian fluently, thanks to bi-lingual schools in the Chicago public school system.

You said "Obama Mama", there is a song called Bahama Mama, released almost 30 years ago by "Boney M" in UK, album is - Oceans of Fantasy:

http://www.goldlyrics.com/band/boney_m/oceans_of_fantasy/

Bahama, Bahama Mama
Got the biggest house in town Bahama Mama
Bahama, Bahama Mama
But her trouble's getting down Bahama Mama

She has six daughters
And not one of them is married yet
And she's looking high and low
And none of them plays ever hard to get
So if you're lonesome go there go

Bahama, Bahama Mama
You should all be looking for Bahama Mama
Bahama, Bahama Mama
And I'm sure you will adore Bahama Mama

Bahama, Bahama Mama
Got the biggest house in town Bahama Mama
Bahama, Bahama Mama
But her trouble's getting down Bahama Mama

You'll meet her daughters
They 'll be treatin' you to honeycake
They'll be sweet and nice to you
And maybe there is one you'd like to take
Well then you'll know just what to do

Bahama, Bahama Mama
She is really in a fix Bahama Mama
Bahama, Bahama Mama
Being stuck with all them six Bahama Mama

What's the matter with men today
Six beautiful roses
And nobody to pluck them
It's a crying shame

Bahama, Bahama Mama
Got the biggest house in town Bahama Mama
Bahama, Bahama Mama
But her trouble's getting down Bahama Mama

The thing is each of them looks
Like a gorgeous moviequeen
Every one a perfect find
And if a man refused that temptin' scene
He simply can't make up his mind

Bahama, Bahama Mama
Got the biggest house in town Bahama Mama
Bahama, Bahama Mama
But her trouble's getting down Bahama Mama.

5. I knew that if I kept surfing here I would find something that would make me happy and amused

I'm happy for you. The pic's not coming through for me, though. Netnannies, probably

[MeDeMax]

6. I think it has to do with DU re-assigning the use of various brackets, see link

[OhioBlue]

9. thank you max!

[OhioBlue]

8. Thank you. :-)

I tried to edit but I'm past the time period. maybe I should have just posted the link rather than the html code?

This is only the second time I've posted a pic - the other time it was too large and made the thread really wide.

[Kukesa]

12. What a darling child.

And I can tell that he's as smart as his Mama!

Enjoy -- they grow up way too fast.

[OhioBlue]

13. oh thank you K!

He is so sweet. He fell asleep in my arms earlier as I rocked him to sleep and he just had the sweetest smile that he kept giving me as his eyes fluttered as he fought the need to go to sleep. I still haven't been able to do the "cry it out" thing and just put him down for a nap/bed time. Everyone keeps telling me I will regret it, but it just breaks my heart to leave him in his room all alone crying.

[Kukesa]
