Funny Things...

Oakley is finally learning to talk. He's caught up with lightening speed. He talks in sentences full time pretty much now. He says things all the time that we aren't expecting or didn't know he knew. And he attempts to say new things all throughout the day.

Some of my favorite things lately:

Whenever we leave and are walking thru the garage, he always says "'scuse me" as we file through.

Recently:
O: "I wanna EAT."
Me: "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
O: pause... "FOOD."
Me: LOL

As we were waiting in line at the bank in our car, Ryden started to cry. Oakley looks over and says, "Bunny, i's o.k." I often say "Honey-bunny" when Ryden is crying or tell him "It's okay." Dakota has started to use the same phrase. So I thought it was so cute when Oakley suddenly busted it out. It was also very sweet.

The other day we went fishing at Pineview Resevoir and had to hike down to a beachy area. After a while, Oakley couldn't resist going in the water, so we let him wade in his clothes. He started throwing mud and got it all over himself. When I helped him out of the water to move down to another area, he exclaims, "I wet! I a MESS. I eed a BAFF!" Yes, yes you do my little boy!

Whenever we are in the car, Oak feels the need to talk. So our car rides usually consist of,
"Mama? (or Daddy, or Koda or Jichan or whomever is in the car)... Whe'e awe you?" You say, "I'm right here," and he moves on to the next person. But he will ask over and over and over again.

Or he likes to tell you everything he sees which is usually one of three things:
O: "Uh, Mama?"
Me: "What, Oakley?"
O: "I 'ee a bode" (bird)
or
"I 'ee caws" (cars)
or
"I 'ee a ay-plane" (airplane)
Occasionally he throws in 'trees' or 'horse' or 'house'. But he will tell you 50 times in one short drive that he sees a bird. EVERY SINGLE BIRD that flies by his window he is sure to tell us about. :)
