Say what you need to say


Baby Guy has been so chatty lately. He loves to try to repeat back what we say to him and it seems like he surprises us with a new word or phrase of his own, every week.
At 16 months, Corbin can say all the typical first words like, "Mama, Daddy, Hi, bye bye, nose, ears, all done, up, down, more, no, uh-oh, ball, car, water, whoa!, owie, tickle tickle, etc.
But he also has suprised us by picking up on 2 and 3 word phrases like, "no, that's mine!" and "poopy diaper", "I did it!", "don't do that" (which he says as he takes of his diaper), and today in the car, "Mama!" [what?] "Mama!" [what?] "I love oo! hahahahahaha!"
Of course, it isn't perfect, and would be difficult to understand if he didn't say the same things all the the time, but we're impressed.

Aside from meet them and their first (intentional) responsive smile, this is the sweetest moment of being a mom.

I think the past few months, while he wasn't walking, he was secretly building an arsenal of vocabulary! Smart cookie.

Chase says a lot of things, but the only time she mentions my name is when she's poopy. Then she says, "P-U, Mom." What have i done wrong? ;)
