OK, so I've been thinking Rowan has been saying mama legitimately (meaning he's not just making the noise, but actually intends to say mama) for a few weeks now. But after tonight I'm absolutely convinced (and I have witnesses!).
We were over at Grandma Connie and Grandpa Kevin's house. Rowan was sitting in the middle of the kitchen table entertaining everyone sitting around it. As I walked over to the table, Rowan followed me the whole way and finally smiled up at me and said "maaama." He said it so purposefully and in such a sweet little voice. He totally melted my heart!
I'm counting mama as his first real word (with, of course, an asterisk about the 8-month grandpa controversy;-). I am realizing, though, how muddy the developmental milestone waters really are. It's so hard to decide what's a noise and what's a word. He seems to copy a lot of noises (baa when we make sheep noises, for example) but mama is the first word that I feel confident he says and means. Of course, I'm not biased or anything! ;-)

Oh, that's great. He's definitely more aware of the maamaa sound and what it means. You can tell he knows who he's refering to. I miss you and Rowan already and it's only been three days. I guess I'll see you tonight at Body Works! Love ya,
