Talking for 18mths baby

I am starting to worry, every time my daughter Emily watches Mr Tumble in Something Special, she says Daddy! I look nothing like Mr Tumble!
 
Usually at this age children repeat whatever they hear.So if they hear someone say mummy to you , they will repeat it and pick it up very soon.May be u can ask ur hubby to call u mummy few times a day..;)
 
Yes, it was my son that had a huge vocabulary of words, including clock, uh oh broken, and 6 Cantonese words before he said mummy!
Daddy was his 2nd word.

We don't know why, as he heard us say it all the time.
It became quite funny after a while.

Don't worry, my son is now 2 and sometimes I wish he would stop saying mummy, mummy, mummy!
