Livers has learned my name. I don't know if she necessarily understands that Mommy = Lindsay, but she definitely knows that someone by that name resides in this house. How do I know this? Because she will randomly yell out, at the top of her lungs, "LINDSAY!!" In fact, right now, between singing the first two lines of Simon & Garfunkel's "Cecilia" ("you're breakin' my heart") and babbling incomprehensibly, she is calling it out. I guess she's picked it up from her daddy.
As long as she still calls me "Mama," we'll be cool.

I have friends whose little ones' call them by their first names. Thankfully I don't think Avery has a clue what my first name is....
I wonder what she'll say when she makes the connection. :)
I new a kid that would yell out his Mom's name in a crowd because his Mom wouldn't respond to "Mom Mom Mom!" Funny!
oh that's funny.. and thanks so much for sticking that song in my head for the rest of the day!! (p.s. I need to reply to your e-mail :D I am working on things this weekend)
ahh - my daughter went through a phase when she was 3 or so and only called me my name, never mom, mommy, momma - I got nothing but Teresa. It really HURTS when they won't call you momma!!
I wonder how long before she makes the connection?
My parents have a macaw that spends the day yelling Ma, because he hears the rest of the family yelling it. Funny thing is he sounds like them and so she will respond and it's only the bird!
That's so coincidental ... my daughter is doing the same thing only she knows who she's talking to ...
BTW I gave you an award ... a yummy one :)
On behalf of Maternal Mirth, because I apparently had a brain fart and rejected the comment by accident...:
Maternal Mirth says...
Dummy calls me "Sassy" (in fact, he RARELY speaks to me using my REAL name). Wanna guess what the kids call me when they know I am chipper enough not to beat them with wet noodles???
Yup.
Sassy.
My twins just made the connection that my REAL first name is the same as the "Mary" in "Mary had a little lamb." So they've altered it slightly. "Mommy had a little lamb..."
