Denniphur and Deff
Melina has suddenly started calling us by our first names. I swear she used my name 80 times today. It's one thing to constantly hear "mommy? mommy?" but another thing to hear your given name called out over and over, from every part of the house. With Jeff, she alternates between Da-da, Daddy, Dad, and Dzeff - with me it's usually Mommy, Mom, or Denniphur. I wonder if this is a typical phase? She's also started mimicking me saying "Jeh-eh-eff" when Jeff takes a turn too fast in the car or commits some similar act of foolishness. And yesterday at Trader Joe's she said "Mo-o-om, you NEVER let me have ANYTHING I want." I felt like I had a teenager on my hands.

Jasper called Jon "Jon" for a long time, with an occassional "Da'ee" but never called Stacie anything but Mama. I think Jasper still calls Jon "Jon." So it must be a normal developmental phase.
I thought it was pretty funny when I heard her call you by your first name, like the way parents use a child's full name when they're in trouble.
