Another note on the "mama" thing -- my little girl came home at 14 1/2 months & she called the foster mom "Bea."
I have tried to teach her who mama is through a song where I touch my chest & say: Were is mama? (or donde esta mama?) For a while, I couldn't tell when she was saying Elmo (who's very big in our house) vs. mama.
Now the word "mama" is clearer but she taps her own chest & says "mama" -- so I think I have totally confused the little girl between her, Elmo & me....but I'm sure it will work out eventually (and she always looks to me for comfort no matter what my name is).
