Quick, before I get Sidetrack'd

Those first sweet coos become the early “ma-ma-ma” and “da-da-da” then the first “uh-oh” or “dan ooo” (“thank you” for the Boo uninitiated). Words that identify objects come next followed pretty quickly by words in combination and phrases. Sentences come onto the scene a few months later, and before you know it you’re carrying on a conversation with your little one.

I love that Little is conversant now, but as she gets older we lose more and more of her common mispronunciations. For instance, she used to say the sweetest little “ah-hoo” instead of “uh-oh”. We still have a few remnants of her early language, but every time I hear her say “lawnt” (want) or “goy-ul” (girl) I realize just how quickly her language skills are developing.

My little girl is rapidly becoming a preschooler and leaving her “baby” ways behind. I wish I could hold on to parts of this age (not the tantrums, thank you, though), but I know the next stage holds lots of fun and funny things as well.

The best I can do is capture a few snippets of her sweet little voice on video and record the things she says here on the blog. But can’t she just say “rimma loom” (living room) forever?
