Ma...Ma...Ma!!

Eli is so funny.  Every morning when he wants to get up and out of bed he yells and screeches "ma".  It's never in a full complete name of "mom" or "mama".Whenever he yells for or at Nichole at other times throughout the day, it's always in an angry or demanding voice to get her attention.  Contrast that to the way he asks for me or tries to get my attention.  It is always in such a sweet, happy and innocent voice with a tone of softness and respect..."dada".  There's always a happy face when asking for the dad.  However, there is always a stern face when trying to get mom.
