He's All Boy

Summer time is Oregon is beautiful. And nothing is more fun in the hot summer days than playing in the sprinkler. Or taking the sprinkler and making a mud hole that's just the right size for your Diego 4x4 to go off-roading in. Whatev.

The Wide, Wide World

This week, one of the fence boards fell off. And by "fell," I mean was viciously ripped from its home by my dog and the neighbor dog yelling at each other. Anyway, this 1 foot whole opened up a entire new world to Braxton and he spent a lot of time here.

Toddler Dialect 101

Bee is talking up a storm - a lot of mimicking, but also communicating his needs and wants and likes. In case you ever need to have a conversation with him, here's a translation:

raff = giraffe
free = tree
strs = monsters (as in Monsters, inc.)
cheese = mac n' cheese (but sometimes just cheese - you have to pay attention to what he's pointing at)
emo = Nemo (as in Finding Nemo)
papa = grandpa
mama = grandma (mommy is for me... it's a different word)
Iffy = Sophie (my parents' dog)
akit = blanket
muk = milk

UPDATES (4/6/08)
afer = pacifier (I've never called it a binky)
ake oo = thank you (such a polite child!)

UPDATES (4/16/08)
if-fly = butterfly
ishin = lotion
