Toddler Talk

Posted by Picasa

It seems Mathias talks the most while we are in the car. He is such a smart little bugger and picks up on things pretty fast. His favorite things to point out while we are in the car are:
  • windmills (by the point of the mountain)
  • power plants (he learned his first one at the mouth of Provo Canyon)
  • airplanes
  • the sun
  • merican flag (American flag, he learned this over 4th and 24th of July)
  • moon
  • helicopter
  • cement truck
  • pick up truck (and yes he says it just like that)
  • dump truck (I love that he knows the difference in all these trucks)
  • semi trucks (and yes that is what he calls them)
  • motorcycle
  • scooter (he also knows the difference between the two when he sees them)
  • jeeps
  • pine tree (he learned this at the gardens at Thanksgiving Point when we went with our fam)
  • firetruck
  • police car (one lives in our complex)
  • allabance (ambulance)
  • train
  • water fountain (as you enter or leave Pleasant Grove they have one)
  • fire hydrant (this is his new favorite to point out for some reason)
  • mountains
  • horse trailer (not sure where or when he learned that one)
  • four wheelers or motorcylces on a trailer (he gets pretty excited about this. He will also tell you that the truck is pulling the trailer.)
  • school bus (and a normal bus)
  • fast car (sadly, he even says this when he hears a ricer's fart pipe because he thinks it's fast. It makes Devin cry a little inside)
Some of my favorite things Mathias has said recently are:

Mathias: mom there's a airplane
me: yup
Mathias: hi airplane
after a second...
Mathias: bye airplane, have a nice day.
I laughed out loud when I heard him say that, I have no idea where he picked it up from. (Dev's note: my dad says that whenever we leave my parent's house, along with "write if you find work")

Monday, while we went on a walk with his new wagon :
Mathias: mom there's a helicopter
me: there sure is
A few minutes later
Mathias: where did the helicopter go mom?
Me: I am not sure
Mathias: I think he went home for lunch.

Really, you just put that together all by yourself? Ok, you can stop growing up NOW!!

The other day Dev was taking Mathias to Kelly's so she could watch him while we went to work. He got to the stop light by our house when he realized he forgot the diaper bag and turned around to go back and get it.
Mathias: why we going back home, daddy?
Dev: because I forgot your diaper bag
Mathias: oh.
I love how he is suddenly talking in complete sentences. It just amazes me how fast he learns!

That is all I can think of for now, I had a bunch written down so I would not forget them but Dev threw it away :( (Dev's note: Bad Devin! Bad! Bad!)
