Daddy is the lucky one..Ching Ern 'chooses' to call her papa first among the family members just this evening. Needless to say, daddy is so happy and smile till "see teeth and can't see the eye" type.
She can pronouces 'papa' very clearly although she paused for a while before she said the second 'pa'. Maybe like 2 seconds.
She is able to relate 'papa' as daddy now. However, she gave me a 'blur" look when I asked her 'where is mama?"...
Poh Poh said most kids started to call Daddy first instead of Mummy...What about your child?

Kelvin called "Papa" when he's about 9 mths plus, and he is able to point at daddy when i ask him " where is daddy?". Same same here, when i ask him, "where is mummy?" he will give me blank look. Eh...can't remember where i read the article, it says, whoever the baby call first, that person need to work hard and support the family. So second thought, calling daddy before mummy is good ya! haha!
Evan also started off with Da-da.. Then he said Ma-ma.. but now he's decided to forget Ma-ma and stick with Da-da.. Sigh
Charlotte started with "Mama" (but that's not mommy, that's Ah Ma) and until today she calls "Mama" the loudest and clearest. She calls daddy "di", auntie brenda (my maid) "ti", and mommy "ma-i" LOL!!
I can't remember also, but I think it was Daddy and Mommy at roughly the same time with Ethan, although he only goes "mah-meeee" when he is in real need for comfort now. Most of the time, it is "daddy" "daddy"...
when he sees Pete. Makes his day though :)
Anne also calls daddy first!
