Chatty Cathy and Other Little Quirks

November 13, 2008

Marshall is quite the "Chatty Cathy." This little boy loves to TALK! I never realized how much Chris and I say "Yeah" when we are conversing with each other. Well Marshall says it all the time. Especially when Chris and I are talking with each other and he wants to be a part of the conversation. He also does it at funny times when we ask him questions.

"Marshall. Do you love Daddy?" - "YEAH"
"Marshall. Do you want a Bottle?" - "YEAH"
"Marshall. Do you love your doggies." '"YEAH"

He loves the word so much that when he is on playdates, the Library or the Mall playground he will say "YEAH" really loudly.

Marshall has a few other words he likes to say:
"LOOOEEEE" (Translation: Chloe)
"MOLLLI" (Translation: Molly)
"I LALA" (Translation: I Love You; It just melts my heart when he randomly walks to me lays his head on my shoulder and says this.)
"Yo Ybbaa yaa" (Translation: Yo Gabba Gabba - the Kiddo show on Noggin/Nickelodeon Jr.)
"Daddiii" (Daddy)
"Maahmaa" (Mommy)
"Bor" (Boris)

I said the word Dragon the other day too and I swear he mimicked me. Chris thought I was crazy until Marshall did it for him too!

There are a few words he has stopped saying " Nana" (Binky) or "Baaaaa" (Bottle). He has started to Cluck his tongue at me instead for these items.

Marshall is also walking across rooms now! It is so amazing to see his little face all scrunched up concentrating on every little step. When he gets where he wants to he will sometime congratulate himself by saying "yaaaayy" at the end of his little walk. It is super cute!

Some little toddler quirks are starting to shine through now too! YEAAHH!!! He has started this high pitched "EAHHHHH" whine whenever he doesn't get what he wants. But for the most part he is still very cute and sweet through out the day!

He also really loves Elmo. So Mommy has been busy scouring the land (Craigslist) and will probably get him some to play with. He will stop what he is doing and actually turn to the TV to watch Elmo's segment on Sesame Street.

Oh one other funny quirk this Little Man has started to do is line up his toys. We always did this for him in the bathtub, but now he does it himself and he has begun to do it on the window sills.
He sat like this at his playdate for a few minutes taking in the actions of the other kids in his playgroup. I thought it was so funny and had to get a pic.
