Twenty Months

Holy Cow!.....that sure sounds old. Just four months away from her 2nd birthday.   Yikes!

I am in constant amazement of how the time we spent waiting for a child seemed to c-r-a-w-l by and the time once that child comes seems to SPEED by.

I am soaking up every minute with her though...and by far, it was certainly worth the wait.

I've gotten such a kick out of the words she says, how she uses them and her pronunciations.  Here are a few of my favorites that I want to always remember...

• "Ah luz you." (I love you.)
• "Oookay."
• "Mote. Wash."  (Remote. Watch.) Asking to watch a video as she brings me the "mote."
• "Chuch. Jeeeezus. Shhhhh."
• "Oh deeyah."  (Oh Dear) says this A LOT!
•  Bes-shoo." (God bless you.....says without prompting after someone sneezes.)
• "Oooooh, baby."
• "Aw Bet-tah."  (All better.)
• Mee Maw & Pee Paw (Grandma & Grandpa:  her own translation)
• "Reh-deee"  (ready)
• "Wap-pul" (waffle)
• "Maaah- kss" (Max- our dog)
• "Bay-yah" (bear)
• "Bay-yull" (Bell - sounds like the cutest little country bumpkin when she says it.)
• "Sank Cue" or "Tank Cue" or "Zank cue" (Thank you.)  As Iain was helping her finish supper last night and I was doing something else, she looked up at me and said on her own, "Tank Cue, Mommy." (For preparing her supper.)  Sweet Girl.
