Bear with me on this one. Recall that this blog also serves not only potential entertainment value for its viewers but perhaps more importantly a mind-numbingly dull chronicle of Micah's life so that when our new parent-friends ask, "When did Micah do _______ ?"or, "Did Micah ever do _______?" I can actually access this information...because damn! how quickly one forgets! I digress, however. I better throw in a cute picture to hold your attention:
Micah's words
Of course you'll all recall: "Mama", "Dada", "up" and his first, "kitty cat". But now we've added "out", "ball", "go", "hi", "bye-bye", "baby", "cheese", "eyes", "key" and some animal sounds: "Whoo Whoo" for an owl, "moo" for a cow, "woof woof" for--you guessed it, a dog! and my personal favorite "Co-Cu -Cu Cu-Cooo!" like an Arrested Development chicken:
There are some words only a parent might recognize: "down" (sounds like a garbled "gown"), two closely related sounds "Uh!" that depending upon intonation and context means "on" or "off", "flou" is flower, "Ha" is hot, "Ko" is cold. "Peek-a-boo" is getting closer everyday. He'll say, "bu" when he sees a bus, "boo" for book, "pu" for puzzle and yesterday, Chrisy as my witness, Micah said his first two word phrase, "All done" (clear as day to this mother's ears) and this morning I heard him working on "thank you" with Zack. These last two words fall under the category of mimicking. (Update: this morning he clearly said "thank you" in an appropriate context and completely unprompted.)
We live with a parrot. While back East Zack was calling for Chris, "Mooooom!" Next thing you hear Micah repeating, "Moooom!"
This all means one of us seriously needs to start watching her potty mouth.
