So, even though I am sadly behind, I still want to look back and remember. So I am going to try to play catch up now while I still kinda remember yesterday!
TODAY - October 4, 2010
Today, Barret is 17 months and 5 days old. (Not quite 1 1/2 years, even though that is what I tell people when they ask how old his is...because I hate saying 17 months!) Today he woke up at around 7:15. This is a little early for him. Over the weekend, he slept from 7:30 pm to almost 8:00 am!!! He is a dream sleeper! Thank you God!!
I went into his room, and picked up the whiney man and snuggled for a few minutes. Daddy heard us and came to get his morning snuggle in as well...but for some reason Barret only wanted mommy this morning. This is very very rare...so I enjoy it while I can. Usually, he is a daddy's boy. He cheered up when I said lets go and get a drink. He replied with "yooce?" which is a very quiet whisper of the word "juice". He got a breakfast bar and milk, ate the whole thing and then emphatically told me "MORE!" This is a very new word. just started saying it yesterday! And after the 3rd time of saying it, he then signed it to make sure I knew what he was saying. Sadly, I didn't give him more...because Mrs. Donna ALSO feeds him breakfast...so this is just his snack breakfast!
He is a big time talker! Here are his words as of today!!
- Dada - he says it all the time....but mostly as "DA!" He usually says it when Travis is not around and he is trying to find him. He also says it everytime he picks up my phone! He loves to talk to "Da" on the phone!
- Ma.Ma.Ma. - He only says my name when he is mad at me or really wants something. So imagine Ma...said over and over in a very whiney voice! lucky me!
- Ball! - this is one of his all time favorite words...he loves a ball. He can spot a ball on ANYTHING including the top of an ornate decoration. He also only yells this word, in a voice that closely resembles a siren.
- Dog - he says dog in the same siren voice.
- bye bye - he mostly says this for travis.
- more - the new word which he really enjoys saying. It is so fun to see the words building in his mind!
- uh-oh - another favorite word. especially when he is throwing something from his high-chair!
- no - he can say it, but very rarely. He hasn't learned the power of NO yet!
- huh? - one of his favorites! He has perfect comedic timing with it too! very loud, and just after the pause of you asking him a question.
- shoes - which sounds like "oosh" He has already worn through his first pair of stride rites! size 4 1/2 extra wide. I went over the weekend and bought him a 6 wide! and they really fit hi good. So I wonder now how in the world we were squeezing his foot into that 4 1/2!
- spoon - this is a new word. only heard it a few times. I didn't teach him this one...so he picked it up on his own!
- hello - which sounds like hawoo! my favorite word he says!
That is it for now, but I am sure I will be adding to the list soon! Mrs. Donna says she is impressed with how much he talks! This makes travis super proud!!
He also has a mouth FULL of teeth! 16 in total. All he needs now are his back molars!
