Lukas, the bilingual baby

So Lukas has started babbling what appear to be words. He says mamamamamamamamama, especially when he's annoyed or upset, but I'm sure we've gotten a 'mama' out of him once or twice. Nanny informed me today that while she was out of the room, Lukas muttered 'nana' to Grandpa.

We've also been teaching him to wave and say 'bye-bye', but for some reason it always comes out 'da-da'. Whatever works, we figure. Then last night we had an epiphany...we don't think he's saying 'da-da', but 'ata', which is 'bye' in Latvian. Makes sense, since Matiss speaks only Latvian to the little dude. Man, this bilingual thing is going to be complicated, let me tell ya. What a little smartie-pants.
