My DS new word (and AW your LO)
Upsidedown
Except he says it upsy-down. He loves to put his down between his legs and look at us "upsy-down." Too cute!
Anyone else have new cute things to share about their LO? I think we need a Friday AW.

Re: My DS new word (and AW your LO)
Awe!
DS knows his colors, and is getting so much better at actually saying them. It's too cute!!! The hardest is orange, which comes out like 'ohr-na'. My favorites are 'geen' and 'bluhe'.
My DS's new word is HORSE!!!
DH asks him to say it all the time because it sounds so freaking cute
S can't remember anything useful but she apparently knows a portion of the lyrics to Thunder Road. *sigh* I think it's a genetic "my brain can only be filled with song lyrics & movie quotes" disease, because I'm the same way.
She is also a rockin' puzzle worker.
This is going to be my future... I am the same way!
DS too! He says it "hawsy" and it's adorable!
All DD says is:
Hi
Hi dada
Hi dede
Hi deegle (cat's name is diesel)
but if you ask her where the fan is, she does point to it!
I'm in a big AWing mood:
DS is learning his colors too. When you ask him what color something is, he usually replies "yeyyow". But if you ask him to go pick the red flower, or the purple flower, he knows which ones.
He has become too adept at foraging for food in our garden and woods. He will pick green beans or peas and eat them raw. Also any kind of berries (straw- blue- or black-) <<This has me a little worried that he will pick something poisonous one day while we're not looking.
He has become very demanding for "uggs" (hugs) lately.
The other day, he played with his stuffed Curious George animal for about 45 minutes. Pushing him in the dump truck, dressing him in hats and diapers, then carrying him around the garden and setting him in different spots then laughing at him. He was so "mothering" with the doll, it was heart-melting.
He's also learning his letters. He gets very excited when he sees letters somewhere, and will point out the ones he knows (A, O, B, T, M)
My DD said her first 5 word sentence the other day. I told her to go get her gym shoes and she told me, "Daddy calls them tennis shoes!" My jaw dropped. She's like a real live person who talks!
2 of my favorite things that DD says (or mispronounces rather) are:
rubberband - she says "bubberand"
oink - she says "moink"
...and I swear I will never correct her because both are just SO CUTE! I want her to say these wrong as long as possible! ( :
I'm totally ready to AW DS's language skills - he's having a great week!
This week DS has learned watermelon (so cute watching him work it out one day!), Beach Boys (!), added the air to plane, and steamroller. I'm just amazed, even though I know it's totally normal.
She got every single piece of her zoo puzzle piece in the right hole the other night w/ no prompting of where it might go. She she's really getting animal noises down. Donkey (hee-ha) and rooster (doo-do) are really funny.
Of course all this comes at a price. She's still the klutziest toddler I know. Everytime her skinned knees heal, she'll fall down again and we're back to owies and bandaids. This girl will trip over her own feet and I swear sometimes it's just thin air that gets her.
I was just wondering last night when kids get colors b/c I remember my step-brother's daughter not knowing her colors at 4 yo. K is only 18 mo.
These are so fun to read! I can't help but continuing to AW.
DS loves his letters too. W is his favorite because he knows Will starts with W. He also knows if he turns W upside-down he gets M so he does this with books all the time. A couple days ago he was wearing his shirt with a W on it and he kept looking at his tummy and turning in circles to try to turn it upside-down. DH and I were cracking up.
These posts are all so cute!
DD's newest word is "beep!" And her animal stuff all seems so unusual. She pants for doggie, says "wow" for meow, says "hoo" for owl, "ba-ah" for sheep (she makes it two syllables, lol), and literally makes a howling sound for wolf.
She's at the age where I'm in total awe of what she knows just from being observant for the past year.
