Words from an 18 Month Old

I love hearing little ones as they begin to talk.  Sometimes it is cute as can be, sometimes the words are very clear and other sometimes it has you scratching your head wondering what in the world they just said, and sometimes it even breaks your heart.

Hear are a few things my sweet pea has said in the last couple of days.

Buh lomp a bleen

This could fall into the cute as can be category and the WHAT?? category.  But I speak baby-ese and I knew exactly what she was saying.  Do you have a good guess?

Well, if you guessed trampoline, you were correct!  Cute as can be, huh?

Here is another cute one….

We went to the zoo not long ago and she was able to pet the goats.  Her word for goat came out one of two ways: Gloat or Goak.  Later that evening she asked for some milk or Muck.  So the older children asked her if she wanted goat milk.  Now we have all the children laughing at her as she asks for Gloat Muck.

Now this falls into the break your heart category.

We were at worship service this past Lord’s Day and little Bella was sitting on my lap.  She pointed at every man that walked through the door.  (We were sitting by the door.)  After worship had started, she looked up at me, pointed at the door, and in a questioning tone said, “Daddy??”

I said, “I’m sorry honey, but daddy isn’t here. Do you miss him?”

She nodded her head yes and replied, “Daddy, bye-bye,” and proceeded to lay her head on my chest, arms wrapped around me.

Heartbreak.
