Not So Idle Chit Chat

Well, you'll have to forgive me, I had a baby and lost my head recently, so I'm behind a little on telling you all of the wonderful things Big Brother can do and say. I've been trying to keep up with informing you of all of his new words on a regular basis and he has learned some new ones. Here's a short list of what I can think of off the top of my head. I've misplaced my official list, but I'm sure all the Mommies out there can understand that!

In addition to the previous lists from May 2006 posts, he can say: room (where he likes to play), meat (a favorite for him and Daddy...my "meat and potato" guys), chicken (he says "chick"), "lope" for cantelope, melon for watermelon, down, up, poop, nap, march, off, fries (a fast food staple), dog, street (for Sesame Street), tub for Teletubbies, red, blue, orange, grape, "app" for apple, cup, block, 1, 2, whee, 4, 5, GO, slide, clap, splash, "fish" for goldfish crackers, LaLa, duck, teeth, lotion (says "lo"), sock, shoe, wipes, diaper (says "dipe"), of course he says No but not Yes, and we are finding that he will try to say anything you ask him to....therefore, we are curbing our language around the house, if ya know what I mean? (nudge nudge)

Gabe is now saying 2 syllable words. He can say 'raisin', 'open', and 'water' more clearly and is learning to say more difficult words every day it seems. He is also beginning to make requests for things that require him to put 2 words together. This is still a new skill, but he's really trying hard, especially when he wants something...smart boy! He says things like, 'Mom, hi' and 'more please'. He's just a little sponge for learning.


Just look at all those teeth--they help me talk more too.
