The Little Miss is 8 months

I was nursing Abigail the other day while Nathan was napping, and I was taking advantage of some one-on-one time with her (which is rare somehow). We sang songs and I told her a bunch of nursery rhymes. She thought one was particulary funny and would grin (as best as she could while still nursing) and look up at me with a big smile in her eyes. Eventually when she was done, she sat up, looked and me and gave me the biggest, slobbery raspberry ever, with a huge smile. I cracked up and gave her one back and the giggle fest began. We had a raspberry "conversation" for a minute or so, laughing and enjoying a special time together.

Chatterbox

So Nathan's been talking up a storm lately and I have serious Mommy guilt for not recording his "firsts" better. I'm trying to give myself some slack for having 2 babies right now, but the guilt persists. A quick blog entry to chronicle some of his vocabulary.

Cruising through Target to get Abigail a sun hat, we passed by the lingerie section and several displays of bras, whereby he declared, "Booboo!" (Yes, the boy could probably operate my breast pump on his own...)

Yight, yadder--light, ladder

Da-do--Caillou (one of his favorite cartoons)

Deedee--cookie

Deet--cake

Night night--anyone (real or in a book) who has their eyes closed

Dide--outside

Part--park

Tut--truck

Tar--car

Dadoom--vacuum (which he grabs several times a day, unprompted!)

He's still very "French" in that words that start with "h" he leaves off the initial sound...so "hose" is "ose", "house" is "ouse", etc. Cute!

It is boggling my mind that he will be 2 in a few weeks. How is that possible????
