Mack Can Talk!!! and a bit of bragging

Okay so Mack has been talking for a couple of months now.  He started to say a few words here and there after is first birthday.  His first word was mum, and daaa (dog).  With some practice he started to say daaad (dad).   Then and now all the sudden he is staying words clearly and will repeat them when asked.  He can say Mum, Mom, Mamma, Dad, Dadda, Dog, Amen, Granpa and Bye.  My mom is working on him with Grandma and every once in a while she says he can say it.  I am amazed at how quick it is all coming together with talking.  He also loves, loves, loves to talk on the phone.  He can talk for over 10 minutes on the phone.  He gibber and gabbers on and on why walking around with the phone to his ear.  It honestly is the cutest thing ever!
I am about to have a bragging moment so please don't read on if you don't want to hear me go off....Last weekend we went to a friends birthday party and all the adults kept telling me that Mack should model and how cute he is.  A lot of these people really don't know me and have no reason to tell me that.  I left the party glowing with joy.  I will be honest... it feed my ego, cause with his looks and over the top personality I am sure he is destine to go places in life.  Strangers approach me daily and comment on how darling he is.  The Relief Society President stopped by and saw a picture of Mack in my entryway and lit up to find out that I was his mom.  She said, "how can I not remember a baby that cute".  I knew instantly that I loved him more than words and of course being his mom I knew I would think he was cute but I never expected this cute.  Okay I am off my soap box.... but Mack this is entry is for you!!!  When you get older and read back on this remember that you are one good looking, eye dropping, smart, lovable, hilarious and personality plus baby!  I love you Mack and you bring such joy in everyone's lives!!!
