The Kid can talk!!!

Okay, so there is the strong potential that only Treva and I can actually understand what he's saying the majority of the time.  BUT, he recognizes things and says words like crazy right now!  This is a particularly enjoyable phase, he's a ton of fun with his actions..and now, he talks!  Some of his favorite words to date: 

• Mama
• Papa
• Bye-Bye
• Hi-yeeee - that means "Hello, Good Day"
• Airplane - more like "Nah-Nay!"
• Digger - "Digga!!!!!"
• Lion
• Baby
• Keys
• Strawberry - "nah-berra"
• Bus - used to miss the "S", but now he throws a lisp on the end.  Good stuff
• Socks
• Shoes
• Barcelona Futbol for Life - still in the development phase.
• Truck
• Bird - "Be-yo"
• Go - "Goooooo!"
• Eggs
• Uh-Oh - he hears his papa say this a lot....
• Hot - "Aught"
• Parker...as evidenced in the following, "Er-Ker"

The Dinner Show!!

Besides gazing into each others' eyes (and eating) during dinner, Treva and I also love spending time enjoying the local entertainment.  Of course, that's where Parker has a starring role.  I tried to capture as many of his "learned behaviors" as possible in two minutes, with the following official branding from Parker:

• His "E.T." touch-point strategy - we can do this for hours.
• The old "crooked neck, shake it out" dance move.  I swear, he put these two together on his own, we had nothing to do with it.  And now, he can't do one without the other...it's amazing.
• The "Bitter Beer Face" - he thinks it's funny.  I think it's HILARIOUS.  He does it on command too.  And he always looks at Treva with 'the look'...so funny.
• The "Zookeeper" - my favorite is the Lion.  The Cow is the same sound he makes when he eats good food....

Anyway, just a little glimpse into the fun that Treva and I are blessed with every day!!

 



Parker, are you expecting company? It's very kind of you to set the table, but are some of your friends sitting on the floor?
