    lol, exactly. 'mine' was something not said by the first, but every lil one after that spurted that out right after 'dada and mama'.

    I took my third child to get checked out becuase she wasn't mobile at a year old. Turned out she was just lazy! Her older sisters brought her everything she needed, she had no reason to move! ;)
