Whats in a Name?

Mason has been able to recognize himself for months. We ask him "Where is Mason?" and he points to his face. The last few days, however, he has made an attempt to say his name. The conversation goes like this:

Me: Mason who is that? (pointing to Nic)
Mase: Dada
Me: Who is this? (pointing to me)
Mase: Mama
Me: And who is this? (pointing to Nell)
Mase: Nell Nell
Me: Well then who is this? (pointing to Mason)
Mason: (in his characteristic deep voice) Moose.

He now frequently refers to himself as Moose (emphasis on the "oo"). I see a new nickname in his future.

Paxton is only just now able to say his own name correctly. When he was Mason's age he would call himself "Pah-tee", which was a little too close to "potty" for my taste.

Moose, however, is a wickedly cool nickname.
