Teiaspeak

I've mentioned before Second Child Syndrome. This is characterized by a cluster of symptoms including fewer photos and videos and a pretty empty baby book. I hear its very common. But at least we have this blog where we find some time to record some important stuff. As I was changing Teia's diaper this morning I realized how fast she is growing up and that I better record some of the stuff she says before she is not saying it anymore..... :-(

I just love toddler-talk and Teia is pretty good at it:

Pooty = poopy

Mommy, I tootied! (giggle, giggle) I tootied again = usually said while passing gas as her diaper is being changed.

Watch out Puppy and Meow, zippas coming! = also said on the change table as I am about to zip up her jammies, with Puppy and Meow raised safely over her head.

Wook Mommy/Daddy/Kai!!!! = said while enthusiastically pointing.

Wha's disa guy? = Teia's version of "what's that?"

Sowwy Mommy/Daddy/Kai = for some reason, she apologizes all of the time (part of her Canadian blood).

Ipad, Ipad, Ipad, IPAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! = this is usually followed by flinging herself dramatically to the ground if the Ipad doesn't appear (another symptom of Second Child Syndrome).

Peabop!! I saw Peabop at the zoo!!!! = Love this one. Said the other night while looking at her animal book. She really enjoyed watching the free roaming peacocks (just in case you weren't sure what a peabop was).

Meow, wanna feep with Puppy? = this is followed by Meow vigorously nodding his head and Teia and Meow are placed into her crib to nap with Puppy who is already there.

Teia did it!!! = accompanied by huge smiles over whatever feat she just accomplished.

Here ya go Mommy = usually said as she places rejected foodstuffs on my plate, sometimes pre-chewed.

Open mouth! = sung to us whenever she wishes to feed us. It is sweet but beware what she proffers.

Daddy/Mommy, I funny!

Too woud! (loud)

Mommy where did the baby wyan (lion) go? =everything is a baby and a mommy or  daddy, even big trees and small trees are mommy and baby trees.

And particularly endearing - today at lunchtime she looks across the table and says "Mommy, I wike dinosaurs and puppy tails." After I acknowledged what she said, she added "Mommy wike dinosaurs and puppy tails?"

Tonight as I'm leaving her bedroom "feep tight Mommy!" Awwwwww......
