Wonder-boy

Owen is 8 months old, and generally a quiet boy. I realize that I might be crazy, but he has been using starting to vocalize a bit more, which is normal, but the abnormal thing is that I SWEAR he says "mama ma ma ma" when he wants me, and I'm around him. But says "dadadadad" if Ryan is playing with him. Is it even possible that he could be saying words rather than just making sounds?

I have been taking some pretty heavy mocking from Ryan and my sister, Savanna. She will say, "hey! did you hear that? Owen just said 'hello Toodles, it's good to see you!' "

Regardless of whether or not he's really talking, Owen is becoming his own person, and I'm finding his personality so much fun. He has pretty much got me wrapped around his finger and spends most of his day on my hip. I just hate to see him curl that lower lip out and so I rarely put him down. I know that I need to give him more floor time, though, or my early-talker won't be able to keep up with his crawling pals.
