It's way past time for the first edition of Lucy-isms! As her mom, of course I would say this, but Lucy's vocabulary amazes me at 21 months. Each day I'm so surprised at then new words, phrases and
sentences that she says. She knows, says, and points to body parts when we ask her- she even knows elbows, knees and eyebrows. She loves to be asked all of the noises that animals make. She has a book about hippos, though, and we're not sure what sound to tell her they make. Anyone know?
On this day (below), she was so proud of her knees and kept lifting up her pants and saying "knees!" "knees!"
For a long time now, this has been my favorite Lucy-ism:
Me: "I love you Lucy."
Lucy: "TOO!" (she never says I love you- just TOO! and I love that!)
And lately, this is another favorite:
Me: "Lucy?"
Lucy: "
Whut." (I know this isn't necessarily funny, but if you could hear they way she says "
whut" so seriously, you would understand)
I hear these a lot:
Lucy: "
Mommmmmmy,
ARRRREEEE you?"
Me: "I'm in the kitchen."
Lucy: "
Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaay."Me: "Where's Bella?"
Lucy: "
Aahhnoooo" (I don't know)
It's so fun to hear the "conversations" between Bella and Lucy. Lucy has gone from calling Bella "Ba" to "Ba uh" to a pretty clear "Bella" now. A couple of funny exchanges between them:
Bella: "Holy Cow!"
Lucy: "
Mooooooo!"
Bella: That bag has a "L" on it.
Lucy:
ELMO!
When Bella says something in a particularly animated way, Lucy realizes it must be important and tries to repeat it.
Bella: "
Pleassssse can I have some ice cream for
bizert?"
Pleassssse?
Lucy: "ME!" "ICE CREAM!" "
BIZERT!" "TOO!"
(
Bizert= Dessert, a Bella-ism that has kind of stuck around here for all of us)
And of course Lucy has mastered the words and phrases that are required when dealing with a sibling:
"MINE!"
"My turn!"
"That MY dolly"
Hey Lucy?
TOO!
Last weekend, my mom and I took the girls to eat at the Riverwalk. The men of our family went to see the OSU spring football game. We try to do something fun when they "abandon" us for sports. As usual, Bella's favorite part of going there is being able to dance on the stage after dinner. They both liked going to see the fountain too. It started out as just looking at the fountain. Then, they were running around it.
Pretty soon, as anyone might of guessed, they were getting wet. Lucy thought it was hilarious to stick her hand in the water. It was even more fun to try to get Bella to do it!
When we got home, since they were already slightly wet, I let them put on their rain boots and go jump in some puddles. The only problem was that there were worms in some of the puddles. Ewww. They did not want to jump in puddles that had worms. Each puddle had to be inspected before jumping.
She found some worms!
Ahhh- a nice big, worm-free puddle. Perfect!
Lucy really had fun once she learned what to do.
Bella moved on to dandelions after her feet got a little wet from all that splashing.
Then yesterday, I could not get Lucy to come downstairs. She kept saying "I coming," but she wasn't appearing. Finally, I went up to get her and I found her at the sink where she and Bella had just washed their hands. The water was still running and Lucy was wet from her belly up. She told me "I maka (making) my hair pretty." Yes, Lucy, so pretty.
