Eggshell Green

Slow down Cameron!

I can’t believe how fast my little boy is growing.

Cameron likes to push and chase things

Cameron is now 8 months old. In this past week, he has cut his third tooth, started crawling and even pulling himself up on things!

Ooh what's up here then

Uh oh here comes Cameron

Judging by how fast he’s picked up things, I suspect Cameron will be walking by the time he’s a year old…

(Below is a video of Abby crawling at 8 months. She commando crawled, without using much of her legs, up until she was 12 months old before taking her first steps.)

Just when you think things are going to get easier, they become mobile – yikes!

Holy swear word, Batman

Holy crap. I’ve been saying I need to watch my potty mouth with Abby around – today she’s decided to say “holy cap”. I’ll try and pass that as a Christmas hat.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Abby chat

Me: What do you want for breakfast Abby?
Abby: Snacks!
Me: You can’t have snacks for breakfast. How about toast, or cereal?
Abby: How about chips?

Smart-arse.

The conversations I have with Abby can be so hilarious. She sometimes surprises me with her responses. Often she goes off topic and blurts out something random.

She seems to be a lot more articulate than the average two year old, probably because she loves to copy what you say. It will be very soon that I will regret swearing within her earshot!

It’s nice to have someone to talk to during the day, even if it’s with a two year old :)

I like sax

Abby has a huge vocabulary and says some pretty impressive sentences for a two year old, like “Mummy hold Abby up high”. There’s a subject, verb, object, preposition and an adjective in that – or are the last two words both prepositions… and one of those can be an adverb too I suppose… anyway…

She can also declare to the world if someone has farted, before giggling about it. (It’s never me because ladies don’t fart.)

And then there’s the word “sax”. Abby likes sax, yummy sax, and wants sax all the time – even begging “sax pleeeeease”. She means, of course, “snacks” (nuts and raisins etc). I know what she means, but people at the park aren’t so learned when she yells out “Abby have sax!”

Abby also likes being a trike fairy

Cameron on the other hand, thinks my yucca is yummy and nibbles at the leaves like a rabbit. He also discovered that he can put handfuls of its dirt in his mouth today. What have you got to say for yourself Mister?? Nothing – yet.
