They Call Me Walkie-Talkie

Just a quick break from my trip reports... Mommy and Daddy have a lot of nicknames for me but the one that's most fitting these days is probably Walkie-Talkie. Why? Because those are my two favorite things to do.

We thought that since I'm 15-months-old it was a good idea to keep track of all the words and phrases that I say.

My favorite word is "down" because that's where I like to be... down on the ground, down on the beach, down in the pool, down on the grass. I also like for Mommy and Daddy to be down with me so even if I'm down and they're not I like them to get down, too.

Here are some of my other favorite words, sounds and sayings:

• Ball
• T'sat (for "What's that?")
• Out
• 'Side (for "Outside")
• Beach (quickly becoming a favorite)
• Cheese
• Peach
• Mama
• Daddy
• Mamie
• Grandpop
• Read
• Book
• Bottle
• Milk
• Hat
• Itsy-Bitsy (as in the spider of literary fame)
• Wow (usually said in repetition)
• Baby
• Bye
• Hi
• Vacation
• Charlie
• Woof-Woof
• Tweet-Tweet
• Quack
• Cookie (said in a deep voice like a certain monster)
• No

Mommy and Daddy are hoping to offset that last one by adding "please" and "thank you" to the list. I'll let you know how that's going.

Oh yeah... Daddy and I were working on another one this morning while we were reading.

"End."
