We've been trying to teach Jemima to wave hello and goodbye for weeks, familiarising her with the hand movement every time we greet her and say bye-bye. Today, my parents came up to see their treasure - sadly that just isn't me any more !! - and as they were leaving, doing the obligatory crazy voice/manic waving routine, Jemima decided to waggle her hand in return !! I managed to catch the 2nd or 3rd go... how sweet !

What I found frustrating is that Jemima's mummy called me mama after being able to say dada, cat (in Greek!) and tata her doll. Ma..ma.. syllables came came last. Obviously the formation of ma..ma.. is more difficult and nature is having a laugh with this. It is the most important sound to a mother who has been waiting 15 months from conception to a 6 month old baby to hear the magic word!
Oh well, it will come sooner or later and its music is the sweetest in the world.
