Toddler Talk

I know it is December and we already decorated for Christmas so this picture is a little late but I promised to show you the end result of our pumpkin engraving. The "lamb family" pumpkin turned out pretty good. But the "welcome" sadly never made it. Can't wait to do this again next fall.

This main point of this post is inspired by my friend Kyra as she wrote about her triplets toddler words a couple weeks back.

Abbey has been growing so fast. I am most aware of this fact when she repeats what I say or communicates what she whats whether I like it or not. I could never understand toddler talk before becoming a mom but I now find myself translating Abbey's words for others. I thought I would try to translate for you some of the cutest and funnest of her "words".

• airpain...airplane
• sh*t...shirt
• cera...cereal
• T.D....TV
• gagee...chair
• wawa...water
• ribbit...frog
• ca key...coffee
• blue blue...blueberries
• nanananana (tongue in and out)...banana
  
• chow chow... food

Abbey doesn't stop moving from the time she wakes up, she has energy and spunk, and a day doesn't go by that we don't laugh a lot together.


These are the staff kids playing ring-around-the-rosie at the staff conference last week. They played together every moment they could: hiding in the curtains, running up and down the halls, and chasing each other until they dropped exhausted into bed.

This is Abbey eating a cupcake and sitting next to her buddy Logan (right) at Kate's (left) 2nd bitrthday party.
