Baby Talk

I love it when little ones really start talking.  You just never know how things will come out!! 

Here's a funny one I want to make sure we remember:  "wookies."

What are 'wookies,' you say?  They are oranges. 

Many times, when Baby was asking for cookies or falling apart for whatever reason, I would pick up a piece of fruit, often an orange, and say, "Looky here!  Would you like an orange?" 

I obviously used this tactic enough that Baby things oranges are called wookies.  I just may use that terminology for the rest of my life. 

Another funny expression is his use of "cuppa (couple)."  My kids are always standing in the pantry asking for or helping themselves to snacks.  If I intervene, I'll often say, "OK, but just have a couple!"  Or the kids will ask, "Can I just have a couple?"

So, now,  Baby wanders near or looks over at the pantry, cookies on the counter, or whatever food item he has in mind and says, "cuppa!!"  So funny. 

Have a happy day!
