A Boy and His Monkey Man

And more story time with Danny...

Jimmy and I just love the little person Danny has become. He has so many cute little sayings and gestures. His voice is just the cutest and sweetest sound in the world, spoken like doting parents. Some of his more well pronounced words include:

• Dada - duh!
• Dadoo - still his term for dogs
• Nana - banana and my mom
• Apple
• Turtle
• Pee pee - with a finger point in case you're not sure where it's located
• Pee - with a crinkled nose and a swat in front of face (sign that he or Malloy went #2)
• Buh bye
• Nigh nigh
• Woo woo woo - the sound dogs make
• Boo - shouted like a ghost
• Booo - the sound cows make (obviously still not great with the "m" words - I'm baba or dada)
• Yet he spots from a mile away any picture of "mimmy!" - Mickey or Minnie Mouse
• Brr - mommy, it's windy!

Perhaps even more exciting than his spoken words is how well he understands what we say and (most of the time) ask him to do. Being a parent = fascinating stuff!

Oh heeyyyy!

Malloy's bed = Danny's reading nook

Speaking of reading, when Danny pretends to read to himself he sometimes licks the page. What's up with that?

I need this blanket/new friend

Happy Saturday!
