Ta Da!

Sydney's speech has really taken off this last week. Her funniest word right now has to be when she does something special and shouts out "Tada!" We all chime in and repeat it with her. She names body parts, waves and says hi and bye-bye, she answers yes/no questions with either a "no" or an "okay", she says hugs and kisses, a shouting of "mine" when Mason takes a toy, "mommy" and "daddy" vs. mama or dada, and an occasional "whoa" when she almost falls. It's amazing! This is all happening a lot sooner than we would have thought. Typical girl though.

Excuse me....

For those of you who have sons can appreciate this blog and for those of you who have baby boys....lookout. We were all at the dinner table tonight. Everyone was eating their meals happily and independently. Ahhhhh. Peace and quiet. Then I heard a noise that made me think twice as to whether or not we still owned a dog. I looked around at everyone's faces and Mason says "Excuse me." Then a few more minutes go by and Mason lets out a loud burp. I said to Matt, "Oh my gosh. All this burping and farting..." Immediately Mason passes gas once again and Matt had to leave the table because we were both about to lose it and die laughing. Mason just smiles again that sweet little smile and says "Excuse me!" Just when you think they aren't listening.......THEY ARE!

It's delicious!!!!

Those are two words Mason has picked up somewhere and now uses when he's eating something he enjoys. He said it last night during dinner which made me very happy seeing as it was a new recipe. Matt asked if he liked it and he replied, "Mmmm, yes. It's delicious!" So neat when a new words pops out of their mouths. No more yummy to my tummy......it's delicious!

Earlier today, Mason was helping Sydney put a pair of my shoes on her feet and then proceeded to help her stand up in them. She put her arms out and he pulled. They worked as a team the whole time and it was precious. Then a few moments later, Mason wanted Sydney to put the shoes back on again and she wasn't interested.....she tried to just walk away.....so he whacked her in the back with the shoe while screaming, "Sydney!" Of course, immediately after went to timeout but inside I was laughing.
*(No toddlers were hurt during the making of this scenario.)

New words everyday!

Sydney is saying new words for us everyday. Her latest and most funny word is "okay." She nows says okay when you ask her something (yes/no question). She also has added the word shoes to her vocabulary. And boy does she like her shoes. Any shoe she can find around the house, she is trying to put on and will scream in frustration if she needs help.
Today Matt went to leave for work and he was at the front door. Well, Sydney waved bye and then said "kisses." So Matt came back over and she hurried down off the couch and ran to him with her arms open for goodbye hugs and kisses. So precious that we are still talking about it.
