So Silas is starting to occasionally bust out the single and doubled "Ma" and "Da" when he wants our attention. But neither of those representative syllables took off with the speed and clarity of the one presented in this latest video [
11.6Mb Quicktime movie]. Perhaps it's because so many of his current favorite things start with it?
"Jesus lives really far away in heaven, but I can just say 'Hey Jesus, will you come live in my tummy?'"
- Luke
"Guys! Come play cars with me!"
{to himself} "There's nobody playing cars with me. I don't believe it."
- Luke
Luke: "Silas, what would you like to do today?"
Silas: "Ta!"
Luke: "Okay, let's play 'ta'."
- Luke and Silas
"It looks just like a microphone!"
- Luke, after doing #2. It did.
Luke: "Jerome, what did you do today?"
Jerome the cow {played by Daddy}: "Oh, I just went to the farm and gave some milk."
Luke: "To the animals?"
- Luke
Zookeeper: "Does anyone have a question to ask about the turtle?"
Luke {raising hand and getting called on}: "He's wearing a rock."
- Luke, during a special "Critters" presentation at the Children's Museum of Atlanta. This is where he learned the whole "raising hands" concept and really got into it when he figured out how it worked.
{Luke patting my arm}
Mommy: "Yes?"
Luke: "Oh, nothing. I'm just making you into a pancake."
- Luke
{More PG potty talk}
"I wish I could throw this rock in the river. It would make a huge splash...like a poop."
- Luke
"Look! They're sharing!"
- Luke, talking about his hands as he passes a Dorito from one hand to the other
Luke: "Mommy, that chocolate was SO good."
Mommy: "What did it have in it?"
Luke: "Cheese."
- Luke, after eating a mini Milky Way
"My shoes are worried. I'm going too fast."
- Luke
"Mommy, you're hitting you. Be careful to yourself."
- Luke, watching me in my flip-flops
"I burped two times. Excuse me. Excuse me."
- Luke
Luke: "Can we go play now?"
Mommy: "In a minute. But right now we need to clean up a bit because things are disgusting and messy in this house."
Luke: "Can we go to another house?"
- Luke, trying to figure out how to work the system
"Look, Mommy. I'm driving you crazy!"
- Luke, jumping around on our bed in the morning
"Wait, Mommy! Wait for me! You have to stop...and look both ways...and there's a boy there!"
- Luke, extrapolating his knowledge base to try to get me to wait for him to go downstairs
Mommy: "Luke, let's go try to do #1 on the potty. Otherwise you'll have to go in your diaper. Do you want to go in your diaper?"
Luke: "Yes, I will on Thursday."
- Luke
Daddy: "Luke, you should go on 'The Muppet Show'."
Luke: "Daddy, I'm not an animal. I'm a boy. I just watch it. I don't live there."
- Luke, after expressing his interest in "The Muppet Show"
Daddy: "I love Mommy."
Luke: "Yes, you do."
- Luke, after seeing Daddy give Mommy a hug on his way to work
Luke: "I'd like some yogurt, please."
Mommy: "Okay, we have strawberry-kiwi and strawberry explosion. Which would you like?"
Luke: "Strawberry colon."
- Luke
