We and our boys must meet one of these days. It's funny and reassuring to know that these things are happening to other kids of the same age - they're just going through steps that everyone else takes as well.<br /><br />Hillary - REET NOW is very cute. And exactly the kind of thing that you say for the rest of your life, and the family knows the precise reference, and it's just so special.<br /><br />cla517 - Thank you! Gosh, I suppose it's just going to keep happening for the rest of our lives. As for the selling, no, not actual. And really, only occasionally imagined. :)<br /><br />carly - Thank you! You know, I love having these, because my recollections are so fuzzy. And I know I blur things together. I love being able to look back and know what he was up to and what was new, month by month.<br /><br />Kate - I just can't believe how fast he changes. I can't believe how I can leave for work and when I come home, he's saying new things. He was just my baby and now he's my big boy.<br /><br />Jane - It is just amazing to see in action. I didn't understand how incredible it is. Turns out theoretical linguistics does overlap with everyday life, huh? Can't wait to see you!<br /><br />Sean - Oh, you've got a little baby! How fun! Enjoy!<br /><br />Go-Betty - Oh, that is sweet. Aside you on the tofa. Cute cute cute. I love these little expressions, and they seem so fleeting that I can't bear it. Like, we've already gone from "hutta" to "hacopter" and I'm sure he'll be saying the word correctly very soon. I am going to miss all these babyisms.<br /><br />Jessica - He really likes getting into our shoes - particularly mine. Cracks me up.<br /><br />And yes, I guess it could be adorable if he had clown feet...Lemon Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07280085058516960260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-58486511149749584772011-05-20T14:11:40.547-04:002011-05-20T14:11:40.547-04:00I just had to let you know that I didn't reali...I just had to let you know that I didn't realize, until the 3rd time I looked at the photo here, that J is wearing your shoes, and his feet aren't that big.<br /><br />Though that *would* be adorable.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11838430978051872591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-70134442956546859392011-05-19T18:57:22.175-04:002011-05-19T18:57:22.175-04:00Please s'cuse while I get some paper towels to...Please s'cuse while I get some paper towels to mop my heart up off the floor cause it just melted everywhere. Your boy is just adorable and so are you. This post brings back memories of my nearly 18 yr old and the things he used to say when he was a baby. One was when he finished eating something or when he was younger finished his bottle it was "All gone nownow" in a singsong voice, I loved that and we still say it occasionally. He also used to say aside instead of beside and tofa instead of sofa so it was "I will sit aside you on a tofa ahy mum" lol I can still picture his little chubbiness perched beside me on the couch as he said this to me. Damn my heart just melted all over my keyboard now. Have a spectacular weekend Guys.
