Month Twenty
July was a busy month! We had cookouts and celebrated birthdays (Mama is getting old!) and you survived the longest kitchen renovation ever. You got to spend a lot of time with your Nanny and Baba during that week, and now when you get mad at us, you call us “meanies” and yell for your grandparents to come help you.
You love to go out and play in Daddy’s truck. You climb all over the seats like a monkey. He lets you “drive” and turn on the windshield wipers and flash the lights. You aren’t yet strong enough to honk the horn, but you love it when Daddy does.
You love music and dance to it when we turn on the tv music channels. You put on Soren’s hat and try to hop around. Your funniest trick now is the Bedtime Negotiation. When we tell you it’s bedtime, you immediately respond with “A minnit? ONE minnit!” and hold up one curved little finger to indicate your offer. We usually fall over laughing and let you stay up another 15 or so. (Your sense of time is horribly warped, as is your sense of humor.)
You love to read books. You bring them to Mom and Dad to read to you every night. You will even sit down with one by yourself and babble through all the pages.
Some of your new words include: mizic (music), naken (naked), body, tunny (tummy), no mahnit (I don’t want it), truck, minning (raining), fall down, sad, mahnit book (I want the book), ghee-up (get up), sit dow, pay (play), sorn (Soren!), choo-choo, noise, daddy hum? (Daddy home?), gum, hon (phone), brr (motorcycle sound), one minnit, cookie, growling, piddies, pretty!, pazza (pizza), ay-buddy (everybody).
Four more months to go until you are two!! How is it possible? You are growing too fast, but you will always be our baby muffin. Love you!
