Every day Zachary does something that makes my heart bubble over. I tell myself at that moment that I must not forget it, I must write it down. As well intentioned as I am, it doesn't always get done. I hope my dear little bird will forgive me in the future and instead be happy with the love I gave him in other ways. So in order to chronicle some of them, here are a few cute ones from this week.
* AAaahhhh.. I have taught Zachary to say aaahhh after finishing a drink. I did this originally to be funny, but now he just does it. However to make it super sweet, here's what he did this week. On Monday when he woke from his afternoon nap, he signed milk and we settled into the rocker for a little baby nuzzle time. He took a quick nip and looked up at me and said "Aaaahh" with the sweetest smile. I almost died from the cuteness.
* Orange juice. The way he says OJ is sweet. Ung-juice.
* Go Gaw-gai = Go Outside. He sounds like he's speaking Thai but when he's pounding the door yelling GO GAW-GAI we know what he wants. I think it's a combo of go outside with go bye.
* The use of the word other. Other shoe, other kitty, other drink.
* Mommy! He now yells MOMMY when he's looking for me. We also play MOMMY-BABY, which is him saying mommy and me repeating with a Baby and I differ the ups and downs in the speech and he repeats them. Very musical in a very loud way.
* The tap. He now taps my shoulder with sweet little pokes and accompanies it with a Mommy and once he has my attention, he points to the thing of interest and proceeds with his Zachary speech.
That's a few for now. More to come later.
