Typical day in the life:
The Baby (Walking up to me while I'm on the couch): Urrrgh
Me: Okay, come on.
(Both walk to kitchen)
Me: What do you want?
Baby: Chirp
Me: Here you go (Pour dry Cheerios into a bowl)
Baby: (Runs off delighted)
*Three minutes later*
Baby: Dish Won
Me: Okay
(Both walk to fridge, I hand her a bottle of milk)
Baby (Sitting on couch with Cheerios and sippy cup of milk): CAT! WHY!
Me: Which one? Cat or Why?
Baby: Cat, Why. Why.
Me: Okay. (Turn on SuperWhy from the Tivo)
Baby: (smiles)
Me: I love you. Do you love me?
Baby: Ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra My derie da mor *mumble* day!
Me: Aw, I love you too. My Cherie Amor, lovely as a summer day...
My wife just stares in awe like we have some kind of mutant power. If you spent 24 hours a day 365 days a year with someone, you'd be able to do this too. My daughter is getting better with using words, but she's only a year and a half old. Prior to now she sounded like Li Lu from from The Fifth Element when she tried talking. Do you know how long it takes to figure out what she's saying? I wear it as a badge of honor.
Apple= Apple or Banana or iPad (not sure how she figured that last one out)
Up= Pick me up or I want that thing up there.
Cocoa Cocoa= Sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Pee Pee= Sing Patty Cake
Pee Pee Pee Pee Pee= I have to use the potty.
P-O-T-T-Y= I want to read Elmo's Potty Book.
It's really quite simple. LOL
We'd make one hell of a team on the 10,000 dollar pyramid.
