Say What?!

Emily, like every toddler, has her own language. Its funny how we adapt and even start to pronounce words like she does. Some of my favorites:

Mangles = Pringles
Opee-ten = Open it
Butt-on = Diaper (where did this come from?)
Dorothy = fish (as in, Elmo's fish Dorothy)
Manga = Grandma
Sissa = Alyssa (her cousin)
I Huuuunnngy = I'm hungry
Suckits = Sunglasses

It seems like every day she is saying a new word or phrase. The other day we were on a walk/run, and she yelled out "I WANT TO WALLLLLKKK!" which of course meant she wanted to get out of her stroller and wander around aimlessly.

She knows most of the alphabet, I think we have Sesame Street to thank for that. Tonight I wrote her name on her magna-doodle, and asked her what it said and she goes "Emmy!" I was super impressed until I spelled out MOM next and asked her what it said, she said "Emmy!"

I'm just loving watching her learn and grow!

I'm baaaaaack :)

I decided today that Emily is doing so many cute and funny things that I want to remember forever! Lord knows I'm not gonna get them all written in her baby book - It's much easier for me to blog about it! Not that she hasn't been cute for the last year or so, but I sort of lost my blog motivation for a while.

So, what I want to document today is the latest oh-so-fun toddler-ism we are experiencing. It sounds a lot like THIS (click the link).

It can be...frustrating at times! But frustratioin aside, "Mom" is still my favorite word in the whole English language!!
