We use Mama and Papa (because they visit with Mommy and Daddy) but we DO have our own 4 kids that call us mom and dad so our 15 month old is beginning to call my husband Dad (correcting him when he refers to himself as Papa). And Mama pretty much shortens to mommmmm which is pretty much identical to mommy to a baby Soooo saying that, our intentions were good (great in fact) but the reality is with 4 other kids calling us mom and dad, mom and dad we are.
