Then Zeke said...

Zeke is saying so many cute things now, that I couldn't possibly write them all down, but I wanted to write a few of my favorite words and phrases...

'Pway...pway again" = Pray...pray again (he's always eager to pray at mealtimes and randomly, and doesn't want to stop...praise God!)

"I yuv you" = I love you

"Luh-bee" - Lovey (his blankie)

"Happy laps" = He loves to run laps around his room before nap and bedtime while squealing (Mommy and Daddy often join in too)

"Z-E-K-E, spells Zeke!" = Loves to say this each night as we put him to bed and he sees his name on the wall

"Bauble" = Bible

"Hug, big hug, Mama" (also "kiss on cheek") = He wants a big hug and kiss on the cheeck, but we have to do it twice,which is okay with me!

"I okay" = I'm okay (says right after he gets hurt like he's trying to convince himself he's okay!)

"Mount moo cakes" = pancakes (not sure how this developed, he calls mountains mount moos!)

"...too" = says too after pointing out any object that he sees twice (i.e. ball...ball too, antelope, antelope too, light bulb too)

"Chelle, chickens, baby, bak-ball hoop, move car, great job, bye bye chickens" = Miss Michelle, baby, basketball hoop, move the car, great job, bye-bye chickens (all referring to his memories of swimming lessons...she has a chicken coop in her back yard!)

"Bye bye poop poos!" = When I flush his poo poo after changing his cloth diaper (sorry if that's TMI!)

"Kitty-cat, Meow" = When referring to our cats

"Geen coal wah-er" = Green cold water (his green glass water bottle)

"Papa new light bulb" = My mom had my dad replace a light bulb in their bedroom.  Now he says this every time he sees the lamp.  He also, basically, points out any light bulb he sees...ANYWHERE!

"Papa sick it" = Papa will fix it (He thinks my dad can fix anything!)

"Gunna water dat plant" = I'm going to water that plant (we have a hanging plant on the front porch he loves to help water)

"Geen boon" = green balloon, which actually refers to any color, size, or shape balloon!


I know I'll publish this and think of several others I wanted to add, but that's it for now.  He brings joy and laughter to our home everyday.  I thank God for allowing me to be Zeke's mom!
