Babble duce

This little guy isn't so little anymore.  He is saying so many things.  Its amazing to us since Colin had his own secret language for a while.  Just a few of the things I can think of that Joel now says:
*babble duce = apple juice
*please
*moo = cow
*duck (for duck but also any bird flying is also a duck)
*bubba = butterfly or any flying insect
*woof woof = dogs
*ROAR = lions, and dinosaurs
*momma
* dadda
*dooo ooo = i think for rooster = he says it when we sing old macdonald which is his favorite right now before nap time
*dis = this
*vroom vroom = for his cars
*weoooo weoooo = firetrucks

I'm sure there are more but thats all off the top of my head.  He calls Colin something different so we'll see what ends up sticking.  Right now Joel's favorite thing is to just yell "momma. Momma" louder and louder until I yell back "joel" and then he'll start again and I'll have to yell "Joel" again and he thinks its funny.  Joel does have a certain whine to him that Colin never did "ehhhhh ehhhh ehhhh" and he'll walk around almost moaning when he doesnt get his way or tired.  Its still pretty cute.  Whats not so cute is when you tell him no he will stop, look at you, fall to the floor and then hit his head on the floor.  Not sure how to stop that one. I've been trying to ignore it and he didnt do it this weekend so hopefully thats done with. 

He keeps us on our toes thats for sure.  He is still into everything he shouldn't be. And he knows it. He already tries to see what he can get away with. And always has to be playing with the same thing Colin is.

 

I guess we can stop calling him baby joel but he's still my little baby. Even though he insists on growing up way too fast.
