The latest words to pop out of my mouth include: Kacie, puzzle, boat, truck, ear, eye, spider, please, whoa, whee, teeth, butt, back, mine, giraffe, upstairs, fish, bubble, water, mouse, neigh, roar, duck, quack, boak, what's that, juice, cheese, moon, where'd it go, stuck, get it, hat, cheerios, sticker, pizza, and beep beep.
I'm sure none of you are surprised that I can say Kacie. I have actually been able to say it for a long time but mom just remembered to add it to my board. Speaking of Kacie, all because of a balloon from Fuddruckers we have become fast friends. I learned that she loves to chase strings, so I drag the balloon around and she follows me...simply amazing! I also demand that she "get it" when she isn't following me.
Ear, eye, teeth, butt, and back are the newest body parts that I have learned about. Every time I talk about something on my body I point to it, especially my eyes and ears.
I LOVE stickers. I love to put them anywhere I can, but especially love to stick them on myself. Just yesterday I thought it would be hilarious to put stickers all over my head, but not so funny when it came time to take them off. I don't have much hair but ouch...not sure I will be doing that again.
Fish and bubble are some of my favorites. Since visiting the aquarium in Camden, NJ, I can't stop talking about fish. When I see fish on clothes or TV, I point to them and say "fishy." For Christmas, josh got me a fake aquarium that I insist my parents turn on so I can watch the fishy's. I also just got a new swimming suit that has sharks or "fishy's" all over them.
I have gotten quite proficient in my animal sounds too. I may not say what the animal is but I can tell you what they say: neigh, moo, roar, and quack. When I talk about chickens I say boak and flap my arms like one. I also roar like a lion in the tiniest little voice like a mouse. And the funniest is when I say giraffe. It doesn't sound like giraffe, but more like "raff."
Speaking of mouse, daddy can never distinguish whether I am asking to watch Manny or Mouse, thank goodness for mommy. Mouse usually refers to Mickey however, I do point to the mice in my bedtime story and say mouse. The word spider and moon also came about from other bedtime stories that mommy loves to read to me.
When playing and I lose something I turn around and question anyone in the vicinity, "where'd it go?" with such innocence that they can't help smiling. "What's that?" is another big phrase I use often to assist in my queries of life.
I rarely get to drink juice, maybe once a week, so when I said juice out of the blue one morning, it blew my mom out of the water. Another food word that I have known for quite some time but never made it on the board until now is cheese. Somewhere I picked up that I should say cheese when a picture is being taken of me. My parents did not know this until one morning they picked up the camera and I said "Cheese." This leads me to my other favorite food, Pizza! It is a once a week occurrence at least and so when I finally said pizza last week it was no surprise; I live and die for it. And when I walked up to the cabinet in the morning last week and asked for "che-ros" my mommy gladly gave in, even though I can now stick my fingers between the cabinet door and open them myself. Seems like its time for the pantry lock or I may be like my cousin Bryce and find the flour to have a little fun with. That reminds me about the story where I was playing with tupperware and I walked over to mommy to tell her "I stuck, I stuck, I stuck" to only have her find a small container stuck on my hand. Then yesterday I was playing next to couch trying to reach Kacie and the wire for surround sound system somehow got wrapped around me all the while my parents were telling me to leave the wire alone. Little did they know until they got up to look at what I was doing that I was completely entangled. Hence the reason I was telling them "I stuck, I stuck, I stuck" in response to "leave the wire alone Thad."
I am infatuated with shoes, does not matter who owns them. My latest thing is to hop in any pair, mom or dad's, and attempt to walk around in them. This spurs telling my parents whose shoes they are, and when I can't make it far enough, my temper gets the best of me! I also love to wear hats now, a complete 180 from before. This may be because I can now put them on myself. Oh and that reminds me, I am finally wearing the Elmo slippers that mommy bought me months ago. I would never put them on and if forced I would sit and cry about them. But one day I walked up and gave them to daddy and pointed to my feet. That was a big deal in the Basner household!
And finally, remember when my parents thought I was calling everything a baby. Well they finally figured out that I was say beep beep. I'm not so weird after all!
