More words!

Trey has had a surge in vocabulary this week! He has said "trash" when we walked by the large trash cans at Wal-Mart, "phone", "car", "paste" for toothpaste, nose (he can point to it for awhile now but just said it the other day when it was running), Na-na for Grannie, "eyes", "off" (as in I want this costume off!). He also says hot & cold but gets them mixed up sometimes.

He also loves to point out that the "baby" in all his photos needs "shoes"! I like to see his cute little (ok, not so little!) feet in photos so I leave him barefooted. He keeps pointing to the framed photos we have hung in the dining room & saying shoes, shoes, over & over.

All children are babies to him, I realized today. We saw a group of kids walking across the street & he kept saying babies. They were about 4-8 yrs old. I told him they were bigger babies than him.

His latest trick has been stripping his pajamas off in the morning before I get upstairs to get him from the crib. And yesterday (on the coldest morning we've had yet this fall) he was completely naked! The diaper & all. Little stinker was just grinning at me! They need to make PJ's that zip up the back!

Trey's words...

door, key, light, juice, shoes...these are just a few of the words that have been flying out of little man's mouth the last few days. He seems to have a new one every couple of days & is really amazing us w/ them. He pronounces light as "ight" & points at the light in the ceiling.

He said door to Ruben Sunday when they were backing out of the driveway. He pointed to the garage door & said door, making Ruben realize he was leaving the garage door open. Ruben called me at work to tell me & I couldn't believe it!

Other words: thank you(he first said it as "tink you" just after a year old, now it has somehow evolved to "thanking ya".

He turned 21 months last Saturday & is quickly approaching that 2 year old milestone that seems impossible for me to fathom. That age is definitely not a b-a-b-y anymore-shh, don't let Trey know! I want all the time holding him & rocking him to sleep I can get. Before he's a little boy handling frogs or heaven forbid a sullen teenager!

I have been slacking(as one of my friends pointed out!) in keeping this blog up to date lately. Life has a nasty way of getting in the way sometimes. But lots of holidays are coming so I need to get back to it.
