Daddy's Girl

Is there a reason babies tend to say Daddy before Mommy? Isn't it the Mommy who slaves away, day and night, changing diapers and cleaning up everything you can imagine? Then, Daddy comes home and baby looks up and plainly says, "Daddy!" My little one doesn't even say Da-Da, she plainly says, "Dad-EEEEE". She is still using signs for things like ALL-DONE after she is finished eating, but a word like DADDY came out spoken and not signed. So, this leads me to believe things from my experience so far with using Baby Signs with my daughter:

1. Some words come out signed and some words come out spoken.
2. Signing with my baby has not shown to impede her ability to acquire spoken language.

So far using Baby Signs has been successful and adorable! What more could I ask for?
