Stephen is worried (and rightfully so) that we won't remember the small and cute day-to-day Felix things so I thought I'd make a list of a few of our latest favourites:
Felix Translations
- "HI FI!!!" (high five) and running up to us with an outstretched arm and huge mischievous smile
- "butty" = a combination of belly and button meaning belly button
- "Breakfischt" - his slightly German sounding version of breakfast
- "ah-do" = water
- "uppa uppa" - pick me up
- "Daddoo" - Daddy
- "spooooooooon" and "bowl" - just cute because of the sheer delight he takes in having his own spoon and bowl.
Other Cute Stuff
- bringing us books and sitting on our laps
- fake hysterical laughter and shrieks
- hugging and kissing Keith Richards (our cat) and saying "awwwwwwwwwwwwww" and "kissch"
- sweeping...he loves brooms and sweeping (DNA mystery)
- saying "dipdipdip" as he loves to dip his food into anything
- asking Felix if he wants to have a bath, him signing away and then saying "bubble"!
- trying to rip his clothes off himself as soon as Stephen starts running the bath
- he knows many animal sounds now, but my favourites are howling like a wolf (which involve throwing his head back) and chicken sounds (which involve chicken dance arm motions)
- various surprising moments when he breaks out his baby signs...we went to the library the other day and he was signing "book" over and over.
What is it with little kids and their love of cleaning and why does it not last through to the age when said cleaning is actually helpful around the home?
ReplyDeleteCan't believe how big your little guy is getting, so many fun things on his "cute" list!
