Atticus: Funny Words

I have this blogging goal of one day having a consistent, well-typed, organized blog that is not too wordy and is funny in all of the right spots. But, the problem is I haven't had time to organize it. However, with Atticus beginning to talk, I want to document some of his funny sayings the way my friend Britt does on her blog of her boys - titled "Quotes of the Week". Her stories are so funny and I know I won't remember all of ours if I don't write them down. So, eventually maybe I'll have this nice organized blog, but in the meantime I will continue to type the way I talk and probably not do any grammatical checking; blog whenever I find the chance; and set a goal to have an easy to read blog one day!

Atticus has started putting two or more words together this past week! They don't necessarily form adult sentences, but they are definitely his way of telling us what is going on. For example:

"No nap."
"Das (Grace) Poop (poop) Eeeww (ew)". He loves to tell me when he thinks Grace has pooped.
"Attis (Atticus) bath poop Dada bath wut (wet)." Yes, Atticus pooped in the bathtub during his virus this past week and then another night, Vic got really wet while bathing Atticus (this would be two stories combined).
"Das ti-ey. (ti-ey is very high pitched)" Grace is tiny.

Other fun newer words right now:
"Puh-puh" (play dough); "Yayee an Tup" (Lady and the Tramp); "DuhDuh" (Dumbo); still saying "But-thi" (lion king); "buit" (book);  night night; "tuck" (truck); "ca" (car); "cuck" (porkchop); all animals: horse, taouw (cow), tat (cat, da (dog), jaff (giraffe), dut (goat), muss (mouse); "tet" (tent); "beh" (blanket); "Si-si" (Simba); "ya-ya" (Nala); "Yiah" (lion); "tar" (guitar); "pooss" (push); and my very favorite: "Am-mulls" (animals)

Clearly, it looks like we watch a lot of Disney movies and lately, he actually has watched Dumbo, Lady & The Tramp, and The Lion King quite a few times. I just have to get this stay-at-home mom routine down better. Sometimes it's just easier right now to get something done if I can pop in an hour long movie for him. Of course, as soon as I do, then Grace needs to be fed, or held, or loved on. So, then I don't get to my ever-growing to do list anyways. But, I do get to watch him enjoy his movie and talk all the way through it telling me what is happening. It's still pretty cute!

He will also repeat numbers 1 thru 10 in English and Spanish when prompted. And, the other night, while we were watching Wheel of Fortune and talking, we noticed that every time a person would call out a letter, he would repeat them. Such a fun, smart little boy!

And to end, here is a cute picture of Atticus. He has only fallen asleep in his high chair one other time that I can remember when he was much younger. But, this day he must have been exhausted! He didn't even wake up when I took him from the chair to his room for his nap.
