On a bright and gentle morning, Mama tiptoed into the nursery, her eyes alight with love for her baby. The little one, nestled amid a tangle of blankets, watched the mobile spin, wide-eyed and curious. Mama leaned over the crib, her face glowing with anticipation.
Mama picked up her baby, settling onto the soft rug where Papa waited with a bright rattle. Papa grinned, his eyes twinkling, and shook the rattle gently to catch the baby's attention. "Can you say 'mama'?" she asked softly, her voice musical and patient.

Papa smiled, repeating the word slowly and clearly. "Ma-ma. Ma-ma. Can you try?" The baby watched intently, lips pursed in concentration. A soft babble escaped, "ma...ma," sparking delighted laughter from both parents.

Each time the baby giggled, Mama would cover her face and then reveal it, saying, "Mama!" Papa joined in, his deep voice clear as he said, "Papa!" The baby’s eyes sparkled, trying to mimic the sounds, "pa-pa," the word tumbling out with newfound excitement.

Both parents showered the baby with praise, their faces beaming with pride. "You did it! Mama and Papa are so proud of you," Mama whispered, planting a gentle kiss on the baby's forehead. The child giggled, repeating the cherished words once more, "mama, papa," as the family hugged close.
As the day ended, Mama and Papa stood together, watching their child settle peacefully. Each small sound, every attempt at "mama" and "papa," had been a victory, the beginning of a lifelong conversation. Outside, the night was calm, and inside, love and words blossomed, one precious sound at a time.
