Just gotta...

Have to quickly jot down some of the funny things Diesel is saying at the moment. His speech is coming along pretty well, and he's a regular little chatterbox, but some words are particularly funny:
  • dip-dop = helicopter (and he can spot one from a mile!)
  • melmo = Elmo (and every other Sesame Street character)
  • bee-bee = TV
  • nut-nut = donut (this is better than no-nuts which he was saying last week...)
  • moh-mut = Thomas the Tank Engine
  • boop-boop = dog (woof-woof)
  • mow = cat
  • bee, bore, BIVE = three, four, five
  • me-me = excuse me (which he says after he burps)
He also blows every time we say wind and then puts his finger to his mouth and says 'shhhh'. One of his Little Golden Books (Book of Sounds, or something like that) has the wind going 'whhhhhh' and quiet going 'shhhhh' on the same page so they obviously must always go together... Clever sod.

Here's my 36 week belly too:
I am pretty ready for this baby to arrive! Am 37+3 weeks now, so am pretty confident that baby would be FINE being born any time now! Feeling very drained, and struggling to do my normal stuff during the day, let alone chase a toddler and clear out our back room. Still... it's not so bad... Could be much worse, and I was just thinking last night how nice it is to have bubba all tucked up inside, safe and warm and all MINE! Once it comes out I have to share!!

That's all for now... have a little bit of scrapping to share but will save that for later...

Gorgeous belly shot!

Funny, Jamie says "toto" for Thomas the Tank engine. Isn't it remarkable how their language develops.

Good luck for the next few weeks. Not long to go now.

GORGEOUS belly hun.
Thanks for sharing D's language too - I really should do the same for Eli hey - he learns so much more every week and copies everything we say now.
He also says 'me-me' for excuse me but for a while there he'd go "Err (burp noise)-me-me" and then laugh hsiterically, thinking it was the best game.

He copied me and said 'bum' yesterday... oops, maybe I'll have to say bottom from now on!!

How cute are those little words of D's. What a cutie. And speaking of cuties, that belly. Just lovely. Hope these next few weeks go by without too much stress and tiredness.
