Learning to talk

A. is at that most entertaining time when he's starting to talk a lot, and starting to become understandable, but still at an entertainingly low level of verbal accuracy. Some recent gems:

  • "Bibby Bec! Bibby Bec!" when looking for auntie Bec
  • Cucumbers have been variously referred to as "Doobadabbas" and "Cubacubbas" as he gets more of the consonants in line
  • There is a crane yard near our house that we occasionally drive by. It's very exciting for boys who are fans of Cranky the Crane. Thus, the cries of "Ganky Gane! Ganky Gane!" when we drove by yesterday. Poor old Ganky has been a popular toy lately with A., leading to some water damage when he was played with outside in the rain.
  • D is becoming a fan of Guitar Hero now that he can actually play it a bit. So both boys were singing along to Cherry Pie. A.'s rendition of the lyrics "She's my cherry pie": "Cheers my beppy bye"
