Austin-isms
Here are a few of my favorite words that Austin mispronounces...
Kitchen sink: Chicken sink
Pick-up truck: Kip-up truck, or Kippuc truck
Hiccups: Hippucs
Seven: Say-zoo, or more recently Semmen
Six: Kiss
Sixteen: Kissteen
Upside-down: I-E-side-up-down (??-ha!)
Chocolate: Chock-it
Curious George: Kiss George
Austin: Authen or Ottin
Chris: Kwis
Kelli: Keyee
His name: Ot-in Fan-een
(he has been learning that Mommy&Daddy have first names, too. One day I needed something from downstairs so I called, "Hey Chris" from up here and so Austin yelled too.. "HEYYYY, KWISSSS!!" Shocked us both.
)OH, and today, when I was getting him dressed, he looked up at me and said "big hug" (that is where we hug and grunt) so I big hugged him and then he looked up at me and said "Mommy ... wuv you." AWWWW. I think I melt into a puddle about 100 times a day. (on a good day.. on a hard day, maybe 10. ha)
Well, that is all. I just wanted to write down some of these before I forget them. His speech is changing every day. He's losing more and more of his baby words all the time.
Hope everyone has a good week!

Cute! It's funny when they learn our first names. If people are talking to Cohen about me and refer to me as "mommy" he will sometimes correct them and say, "Her name is Melissa!"
I remember one time when Alyssa was about 4. I had poked my head out the back door to ask what everyone wanted for lunch. Just as I was about to shut the door, she yelled, "Mommy!" So I stuck my head back out, and she said, "I love you." What a warm glow it gave me.That's the kind of moment you never forget.
Love it! Thanks for sharing. If you ever have wondered when married couples start calling each other mom and dad, it's during this stage. The more you call each other by your names, the more your kids do too. So you start calling each other mom and dad, and it just sort of sticks. haha
