I love the creative names and reasons behind them. We use Mommy & Mum. These were originally intended to be Mommy & Mummy, expecting them to grow into Mom & Mum, but Milo made his own choice, starting to call both of us Mama at 6 months old. He started using Mum before he was a year old but it was many months after that that I finally got to here myself in non-generic (to me) terms. These days, though we're not even together and don't even live in the same state anymore, I hear the term MommyMum eminate from his mouth. By the way, welcome to the world of the Lmoms. You'll love it. This is always a very interesting conversation. I love the creative names and reasons behind them. We use Mommy & Mum.
