things that make me giggle :)
So my little 11 month old's vocabulary is not very exstensive. He of course says Mama, referring to me and when he is hungry. He says Dada, referring to his Dad and referring to me when Dad is gone. He says Babababa on command, I have no idea what it means. He says other things I cannot even spell or understand. But what I think he says the most these days is Dat, it is quite clever if you think about it, because Dat has such a transformable (is that even a word?) meaning. It can mean "what's that?" a common question of little kids. It could mean "look at that" when he is trying to show me something. It could mean "I want that" when he is reaching for something I have. And the list goes on because he uses it for everything. But what makes me giggle is that he uses it to act like a big boy also. When he is around his little buddies that are walking and talking and a bit older than him, he will say Dat, in a more mature voice so they will think he's cool. But their response is what gets me. They will say, "I'm not your dad" to him every time. I crack up because I know he's not saying Dada, he's saying Dat. But here my little precious is trying to act grown up around his heroes and trying to make conversation with them, and they think he is calling them his daddy. Oh Asher, you crack me up!
What makes you giggle?

I'll tell you! My little boy has learned the spanish word for cow. Vaca - which he then followes up with teh appropriate MOOOOOo
Unfortunatly he says "caca" for vaca and if you don't know that means poop.
That makes me giggle every time!
I like made-up words. The last one that made me laugh was "inestitude." According to my seven-year-old, it's like "attitude," but good.
"Show me some inestitude!" she had shouted, as she got in the car.
