Words with Munchie: Funny sayings

New words or phrases:

• I farted, mommy did you fart?  We even sing a little song, "I farted and it stinks" Hahahaha

• Because? She'll say "because" but won't say anything afterwards. 

• Oh no a car! Watch out! We're safe.:  I'm really glad she does that because it let's us know that she knows when to cross the street.

• I got a Murphy! or I have a big ole' murphy:  She even pulls them out on her own.

• I love it so much: she says this when you give her something or when there is something she wants or likes.  Christiana will take whatever item, hug it, and say "I love it so much."  For example, we have pictures on our fridge and she takes a picture of herself off of it.  She says, "That's me.  That's me when I was a baby (then she hugs the picture), I love it so much."  Or there was another time when she got a new Dora doll.  She takes her doll and says, "For me? I love her so much. (While hugging her tightly)"

• They're best friends: She uses this phrase like she does for "cheers", except she does this when she's dealing with people, pictures, dolls, or animals.  For example, I finally bought her a Doc McStuffins doll (she needed a new character doll) so she puts her next to Dora and says "they're best friends."  She did this again with two pictures that she took off the fridge.  Again with two Finding Nemo and Dory pez dispensers.  I'm loving all the connections she's making.

• Cheers:  She does this when anyone has something that matches what she has.
• Here's an example of her saying "cheers":  I was trying on a new wig and she wanted a wig on also, of course I give her one.  Well once she put it on, she said cheers momma and pulled my head towards her so our wigs can bump one another.  :O)
• Another "cheers" story:  I scraped my ankle and ended up with a noticeable wound.  Day after day she would ask, "You have a boo-boo momma?" then she'd rub it and ask if I was okay. I'd answer, "I'm okay baby, you made it feel allll better" Well she ended up with a little boo-boo on her ankle as well.  So we went through the whole, "you have a boo-boo momma?", are you okay daily check in.  That day she changed it up on me, after the rubbing of my wound, she said "cheers momma" then tapped her ankle wound with mine.

• That's my/your song: when it comes to her deciding our (me or daddy Teems) song, it's based on the gender, the beat, or tone of the song.  Don't let us start singing her song, she'll tells us "Nooo, that's MY song." If we say we like that particular song, she'll say "don't like that song, that's my song."

• Let's do this guys, come on guys, Hi guys, thanks guys

I am truly enjoying watching Christiana grow and learn new words and phrases. Sometimes I just stare and listen to her as she's playing with her toys or friends with a smile on my face.  My baby is just growing up.

Again don't be afraid to leave a message, Christiana will enjoy reading them when she gets older.  :0)

Words with Munchie: Chatterbox cutie

 

 

 

Munchie is just blossoming (as she should right?)!  It seems like everything is in overdrive since she has turned 2.  She has so much personality and is becoming MORE vocal.

Here's a new list of words/phrases & growing personality:

• I can't - this one reminds of me of the phrase "faget about it".  For example, if I say Christiana put your markers away.  "I caaaan't" or Christiana do you want a graham cracker?  "I caaaan't".  Or how about Munchie take your shoes off and put them in your shoe drawer.  "I caaaan't".  You may be wondering where she got this from?  Well so are we.
• It's so sunny outside, I need to put my glasses on - One day after I picked her up from school I was super bright outside & I said "Whew it's so sunny outside I need to put my glasses on".  So from then on everytime I pick her up from school she says it.  Her outside sounds more like "outshide".  Man do I love that girl!
• Leave me alone: This sounds more like "Yeave me yone"
• Give it back: More like "Gib it" or "Gib it back"
• Hi Guys
• What are you doing?: She asks this even if she doesn't want anything. 
• She speaks and waves to everyone
• She's always singing songs from her favorite shows and songs that we listen to from Pandora radio.  Right now she is really loving the songs from Yo Gabba Gabba!
• She's very protective of our belongings: For example, if something belongs to me, she doesn't want anyone else to touch it.  She'll say "That's momma's" or "No daddy, that's momma's" while moving it away from him and making sure she hands it to me. 

Oh I decided to start using pictures that I have on my cell phone in some of my posts.  I have sooo many pictures of her that I just have to share. :O)

You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
(Deuteronomy 6:7 ESV)

Words with Munchie: She knows what she wants

It's been a couple of weeks since my last entry and there is so much to share.  As Christiana is getting closer to the "Terrific Two's" she's been a semi-piece of work; all of which I enjoy (even the tantrums).  Her latest milestone are her short sentence making skills.  Little ones always have a way of expressing what they want whether it's crying, shaking their heads, or grabbing or shooing things.  Weeeell Munchie has mastered the skill of saying when she doesn't want something!  She says "I don't want it" and while she is saying this she is also waving whatever it may be away.  The other day I told her to pick up the crayons that she threw onto the floor (one of her tantrums), this little mamacita told me "I don't want to crayons" and walked away from them.  Can you believe that?!

Words with Christiana

Christiana just loves talking, here are a few words that she's been using on a regular:

• doggie - almost every animal is doggie, but she does know a doggie when she sees one.  She even barks when she sees one.  Toooo cute!
• duckie - I'm trying to get her to make the quacking sounds like she does for the dog
• some - she says this when she wants to eat something
• momma - self explanatory
• daddy - self explanatory
• bubble - she just loves bubbles! Even the iridescent Easter eggs were bubbles; tooo cute!
• more please - when we're in the car she puts her little hand up and asks for snacks.  It's not as clear as when we say it, but she does the little sounds
• thank you - again it's not as clear as when we say it, but she does the sounds



Man, she's just growing up before my eyes. Christiana says other words but right now they are in baby language ;) so we can't quite figure it out. Soon, very soon. I will say that when she's upset or frustrated we can tell & when she's happy we can tell. I know real soon I'll be writing another post about her growing vocabulary. Yaaay!
