We think Uma's getting an idea about words. Specifically, "mama." Sometimes it's "ma ma ma." Or "ma ma ma ma ma ma ma." It can pop out when she sees Jessica. It also pops out when she sees a picture of her. She babbles it happily as she races across the floor towards her. On the other hand, sometimes she babbles it when Jessica isn't around, too. Maybe she just likes saying it because it makes her think of Mommy. Who knows what's going on in there. Still, though she's not consistent and reliable, she's too consistent and reliable for it to be a fluke. Attempts to teach her "dada" have been a miserable failure. She'll probably say "Molly" before she does that. It's ok. I can cope.
