Parker Talk

Babies are sweet and yummy, but a ton of work. I joke that we survived the first year, and THEN it gets good. I have always loved my girls, but I have to admit I especially LOVE it when they get really mobile and start talking, they start becoming PEOPLE, more and more capable of giving back (and talking back). And Parker is so there right now. She has SO many new words, it seems like every day she adds more. She's excited and proud of them, and I love it! This has been happening over the last 2 months or so. It seems like at Christmas and even afterwards, she would get so frustrated and I assumed it was because she couldn't tell us what she wanted. I'm not saying that she doesn't get frustrated now, but at least she can sometime KIND OF tell us what she needs, now she's just irritated with us that we don't understand all of her "words". Some of her favorite words:
HAPPY - This is one of my very favorite words to hear her say, she is so purely happy when she says it, or she's talking about a cake (birthday cake) and that of course makes her happy!
Mouse (anytime she sees Mickey or any other mouse)
No, Mommy, No - used frequently, and it still makes me giggle
Paypay - Payton
Mommy -used for me and for Grandma
cereal - I just think it's funny when she can tell me what she wants
apple (used for ALL fruit beyond bananas)
pizza - used for I'm hungry
Me: "Parker what do you want to eat?"
Parker: "PIZZA"
key-key - this can be her kitty, but very similar sound for her blanket
wa-er - water, really this means she want a cup, but she is only allowed to have water in a cup, this is our means of mopping the kitchen floor
rock-a-baby - she sings this and rocks her baby AND/OR is asking you to sit in the rocker with her and snuggle (briefly)
monkey
go, uh-wah-go! - I want to go, anywhere, don't care, just I want to go somewhere
peez, Daddy, peez - Daddy has food, it MUST be good and I MUST have it!
Nice - This is what she shouts at the television if there is a fight scene in a movie or show
Moo-wee - When she wants me to turn on cartoons or a movie
Bunny - She completely understands the Easter Bunny idea and loves it
Beesh - Beach, another reason to GO!
