My ds does it too and calls his sister dada

No, their wifes/gf/whatever

my brother used to do that much to my mum's embarrassment.

He does it with his grandad, makes me feel sick.

yep - jess does it too....

oh and "HI YA" at the top of her voice to ANYBODY!

The joys of a 14 month old

god jbam
youa re going to be run ragged wiht two! didnt realise your baby was so young still

oh yes... im going to have the men in white coats round soon!

I suppose its not as bad as going over the road and knocking on neighbours door and saying 'My mum thinks youre a silly cow' - Me, age 5.

Friends of ours had a daughter 18 months before ds was born. That little girl called my dh 'daddy' from starting to talk until she was about 3 1/2.
Caused some sharp breaths occasionally from other members of the family I can tell you

I remember this- it's a funny stage!

There's some explanation for it. I think. Something to do with the way kids only gradually recognise categories of things. So at first they might call every animal a "dog" or every man "daddy" but later they refine those categories as they realise that there are infinitely more classes of things than they first thought. There- I've now turned a nice amusing story about your boy into a boring lecture. My work is done!

No dont worry, come to think of it he did used to think every animal 'meowed', but thats not as funny I suppose.

I think it is so beautiful how children reach out and make people smile. Its a lost art in adults.

For awhile any granddads at play group or at the park were a target for dd, after she meet her grandad and fell in love with him. He lives along way away.
