D.C. Area Babies

they grow up so fast!

I just noticed that Warner says "chicken" correctly now. For the past year he has said "chichen" and it was adorable :-(

And when he stops saying blueberrlies and strawberrlies, I'll really be upset!!!

eta: the other one that has fallen by the wayside that makes me want to cry is that he used to say "hopper-topper" for helicopter. 

What does your LO say that is adorably incorrect? 

Re: they grow up so fast!

  • He says TT for TV (he doesn't get a lot of it, but that's what he asks for).

    He says glug-glug for jacket.

    He also says that bunnies go "pop pop" instead of "hop hop."

  • DD - nothing!

    She used to use the word "furniture" in a weird context, I'd say, let's go (somewhere) and she'd say, "just a minute, I have to go get my furniture," and then she'd go to another room, pretend to get something w/ her fingers and be ready to go. The same with "posh," as in "I have to get my posh," I have no idea what that meant LOL

    DS is in early stages of talking and he's been saying "mehmeh" and we couldn't figure out what it meant but my Mom got it, she is pretty sure he means "Grammy."

    oh, blueberries, with DD, were for the longest time "booberries" and blackberries were "black booberies" - made us LOL every time

     

     

  • Teemote = remote

    Help YOU = Help ME (I guess because we always ask "Do you want me to help you?"

    And my absolute favorite, that I really want to get on tape: If he's demanding something, I'll ask him to say it nicely and say please. So, he says, sweet as sugar "Nicelllllyyyyy, please". 

  • DD's latest is to say last morning for sometime in the past.  Makes me laugh. 
  • DS used to say bluebabies, blackbabies, and strawbabies.  I was actually kind of relieved that he stopped that one, despite how much it amused me, b/c he was prone to screaming that he wanted to eat blackbabies when we were in the grocery store.

     ETA:  He still gets ask and tell confused.  He'll say, "I need to tell you something" and then ask you a question.  Or, he'll say, "Can you ask me about why trees change color in the fall?" but he really just wants to know why.

  • Molly for a little while said bippers instead of slippers - so cute.  Maggie used to say "Hold you me" for Hold me.
  • Monday night, because of the new time change, it was dark out when I picked DS up from daycare.  When we came outside, he told me the "sun is sleeping", then pointed to the moon, and told me he needed a rocket ship and a helmet.

  • My daughter used to not be able to prounouce her own name. She used to say EE-Ya but now she can say it correctly. She also says "Happy Dirtday" which is so cute.

    The other funny thing is since we have all girls in our house (including the dog) except for DH, she always says "her" and "she" when referring to DH.

    She used to say "boat" instead of "bowl". I guess she thought they were the same thing which is pretty smart because a bowl does sort of look like a boat.

    The other thing she used to say is "I want to pick you up." (instead of pick me up).

    Gosh, they are so sweet and they do grow up so fast.

  • T also says "pick you up" instead of "pick me up."  It's pretty cute.

    I'll miss "badybug" for ladybug and "moosic" for music.

    Little miss also decided to start calling me "mommy" in the last week.  Before that it was "mom" for a month or so (originally "momma").  This one is actually going in the right direction.  Having her call me "mom" made her sound so adolescent.  Though I guess I also have "moooommeeeeee" in the whiniest voice to look forward to :P

  • Some of these are hilarious!

    DD has a lot that are funny:

    She'll say "it's darken in here/outside," "goggy" instead of doggy, "me hold it," and whenever she's talking about berries, she adds a few extra syllables at the end, so it will be "strawberray-ay-ay" or "blueberray-ay-ay."

    Also, DH always sings DD a song about cantaloupe when she eats it, so now she thinks it's hilarious to say "canta-loop-ee."

  • DD #2:  I hear you on the blue-burlies and black-burlies and straw-burlies!  When DD #2 stops saying those I'll cry.  Also snuggly - "snuggerly."  When she wants to hear another song on the radio she says "I want another one song!"  Rainbow = "rainboat."  She also wildly mispronounces the word hand - she says "ha-oo-nd" and pants are "pa-oo-nts."

    DD #1 used to call a hamburger a "hanga-burg"  Gosh I can't remember more of hers... I shoulda written them down!

     

     

    Wife, Musician, Fed, WW-er, and Mom of three little kids - not necessarily in that order.
  • J says kanga-roos "candy-roos."

    He somehow conflated alligators and elevators (I guess they *do* kind of sound the same) and he pronounces them "effi-gator." Every time we walk by the elevator in our building he says "effi-gator go chomp chomp."

    He also does a similar thing when he wants to be carried--he says "carry you" instead of "carry me," although he pronounces it "cray you."

    Oh, and we recently discovered that he pronounces gloves as "blops." And he calls the co-op down the street from us the "co-lop store."

    We've been writing them all down because I know he's going to start talking like a real kid soon and I will be SAD.
