A classy lunch out

We went out for lunch today after visiting the animals at the park. Poor Peanut was so exhausted that she fell asleep in the car on the way to Wendy's. So we're in the parking lot at Wendy's and I glance back to see her eyes flutter open as she dazedly mumbles "Fries?" Seriously, I didn't think we got Wendy's that often.

And if you didn't think it got any cuter than that, you'd be wrong. I was ordering our lunch when Peanut stands up on her and bellows at the top of her lungs "Toot! Mommy!! I toot! Mommy!! I TOOT!" Yes, Peanut, you did. Good job kiddo. : )

Big words for a small cookie

Peanut is starting the move towards using sentences. Yesterday she stood mournfully at the window and said "Daddy home me *sigh* soon". Yep, he was late coming home from work, and she missed him.
Then after her bath she scampered downstairs and found me eating ice cream. I shared a bit with her and she joyfully exclaimed "Ice cream me YUM".
Call Harvard - the kid's a genius!

All I behold is mine

Yep, she's found another new and fun word: Mine!
As in, My Bunny, My Dada, Mine, My Doose (Juice), My Baaah (Bob the Builder), and My Buhbuh (Bottle).
Of course there's no My Mama though. *sigh*

The Days of No

We knew these days were coming and I know it's an important part of Peanut's development, but gosh... "No" can get annoying.
She pronounces it "MO!!!", with a wail and a slight temble of total disagreement.

The kid can talk!

It's taken us a bit to catch on to her pronunciation of consonants, but now that we get it - man does Peanut talk a lot!
She says:
"Hey big guy!" (talking to my Dad on the phone)
"talk in here" (pointing to the wrong end of the phone)
"I love Dad!" (plastered against the front door waiting for Dad)
"apple sauce" (when asked what she'd like for breakfast)

I can't believe how often she must have been frustrated talking to us and having us reply with a generic answer like "that's true" or "how funny". Yeesh, good thing she still loves us.
