Say What

Brayden's brain is apparently working faster than his mouth! The last two days, he will start to say something and then can't get it out. All day long I hear "mom, umm, umm, umm, umm, mom" before he can finally get it out. He has also started saying "what" when I tell him something and he will ask "what" 4 or 5 times even when I have answered him. Two is such an amazing age and it is so fun to see how cute he is as his little personality continues to emerge!

Complete Sentences

About 3 weeks ago (I know, I haven't blogged in a while) it hit me that Brayden wasn't just using 2 or 3 words anymore, but speaking in complete sentences. Another one of those milestones that make me want to smile & cry at the same time. He has also started to pronounce words better and the kids don't like it! Here are a few of the changes we have noticed:

Ma-ma (Madyson) is now Mashon
Pe-pe (Preston) is now Preshon
Aut-aut (Austin) is now Aushin
she she (horse) is now hoshe
hit ball (golf) is now golf hit

The kids don't like his big boy pronunciation of their names and ask him to call them by the old ones before they will do what he is asking. He has always called me mom but is now calling me mommy, that one I won't complain about!

Some of our other favorite words right now are:

pie man (spider man)
nilk (milk)
ca ca (tractor)
dump dump (trampoline)
pidow (pillow)
lah (yeah) and usually it's lah-sure
pidow (pillow)

He has also picked up a few phrases that aren't so great. When he gets frustrated he will stomp his foot and say "cap" his version of crap. He also loves "what heck" and does it in a very high voice. When he doesn't like something he is told he will exclaim "fine!"

Just more reminders that he's turning into a little boy way too fast!
