The first post of the new year. It's 2009! The holidays are past (more blogging about that later i hope) As we settle back into our real lives I must take some time to chronicle Grayson's ever expanding vocabulary. The words themsevles are quite simple, but the sound is oh so sweet. Let me translate...
Maaama - deliberate emphasis on the 'maaa'. This I think is the affectionate version.
Daaada - same as above.
Craka - cracker ... a favorite for sure.
Up peas - pick me up please. so very polite!
Daw - dog
At - cat
Appy - happy
Whoa - whoa (as in "whoa i almost fell off the bed again")
Outseye - outside
Ba - ball
Wawa - water (sometimes accompanied by the ASL version)
Me - milk
O - Joe's O's (aka cherrios)
Eyes - ice (and eye)
Nana - nana or banana - context is key
Gee - Gan
Eee - key
Are - star
Moo - moon (or answer to "what does the cow say"
Dow - down
ooowa - this one is actually not a word but more of a request. "Oooh Wa" is part of the chorus of one of his favorite songs "When I walk along the river" by the Lori Berkner band.
Grayson is also singing, dancing and generally loves any kind of musical instrument. Oh yea, I forgot "titar" which is toddler for guitar!
We finally got a video camera so i'm hoping to catch some of this chatter in living color. I will post again very soon.
Cheers!
d the best part... Yummy Cupcakes. This is now tradition for us, there's just no way around it as long as we live in LA. Yummy Cupcakes are indescribable really. Of the 100+ flavors offerred, we painstakingly picked 3 ... Old School (think hoho's), Red Velvet (classic) and Yummy's signature Happy Day (sprinkles inside and out!). We ordered the jumbo size for Grayson ... as you can see he found it quite pleasing :)
