Months ago Brody began to say his first couple words, hot and guck(this means truck). Then as weeks went on he added a couple more words like ouch (which he has now figured out can be shortened to just ow!) and of course the big N-O!
Then he woke up on Valentines and got a little gift from mommy and daddy that included a ball and a balloon so I guess he decided to start saying ball and boon(balloon). Among the other words he said that day were shoes and cheese.
Each day he seems to add a few words, but the real kicker came when I was giving him a bath. Brody has known for quite some time all his body parts. We ask him where his eyes are and he points, or when we ask where his buns are he pats his rear end. But then being the little BOY that he is he was touching his little boy parts and said we-rr. Hmmm.....he can't be saying what I think, right? Then he does it again and points. Yep, my son is saying weiner! I don't know if thats the most appropriate word for him to say, but he was saying it!!! He refuses to say mom or dad, but he knows how to say truck, and 'beep' when he drives a toy truck, and now he knows we-rrr!!! If that isn't a boy for you, I don't know what is!!!
But finally we have made progress! Two nights ago, Brody was looking at the wedding picture or Trevor and I that hangs in our room and he pointed and said, "mom!" and then "dad!" Yippee!!! Then he pointed at the pictured and said mom, but then pointed right at me and said mom! I know its not a big deal for most, but considering he's choosing to say EVERYTHING else besides mom and dad we were so excited. Its about time.

Brody is so cute! That's hilarious. Payton just barely started calling me mommy a few months ago. She could say it, but just never would! She said Daddy all the time, but she never really referred to me. Oh, and when I pulled up your blog, Payton saw your little wedding picture at the top, pointed at you and yelled "Cinderella!" :)
My mom says that I never used "mom" or "dad" either. I always called them "Bruce" and "Terry". I wonder if it is being an oldest child you never hear anyone else call them "mom and dad"? Of course weiner should always be at the top of the first word list! Way too funny!
Yay for that! Keahi has really gotten good at calling me "Mama". She's been calling Clint "Dada" for months and has occasionally called me "Mama" but in the last few weeks she has really turned it on! I heard her through the monitor the other morning calling "Maaaaaaaaa! Maaaaaamaaaaa!" Oh I love it!
Thats too cute! I cant get over Brody, you guys better have a lot of kiddos cuz he is so stinkin cute! enjoy this stage, its fun
isn't it so exciting when they start learning to communicate?! I love it:) BTW: I totally agree with you on the baby names:) Those two names were on our lists but nothing is feeling "right", that's why we are stuck. I think we are going to have to wait until she is born. Congrats on the second! I have been so out of the loop on reading blogs, I just don't have time anymore, so I am glad you said something! I hope you are feeling better and doing well! YAY for Brody!!:)
