Baby Talk

I orignally started blogging to record all the fun and minor events of my son's daily life. An online journal to remember all the little things that fill the days with happiness and smiles. I've found many other things to talk about however keeping a log of my son's exploits will always rank high on my list of reasons why.
So, that being said, I wanted to record a few things that recently disappeared from my daily life, some before I started blogging. These precious things are those words or phrases that are unique to Jake as he has learned to speak. All the other parents out there will know to what I'm refering. Every parent I've met can recall the funny little words and phrases their kids used when they were little.
I'm going to use today's post to see if I can keep track of some of the words that have disappeared recently. I so love that Jake's vocabulary skills are growing but with each stride in growth one of those precious heartwarming misspoken words diappears forever. So, here are the ones I can remember today, I may add more later.
Nuggle - This is so much more than a snuggle. Those little arms wrapped tight around my neck, those chubby cheeks pressed up against mine...pure heaven.
Mo - When Jake first started talking this was what he called cars...any cars. It comes from the noise that we do to immitate the sound of a car's engine. You know how it goes...mmmm mmmm mmmmo! A trash truck was a much revered Mo. He would run around the house on trash day, so scared of the big noise but in awe of the BIG truck. He'd have this look of rapture on his cherubic face and whisper in a low gutteral voice "Mommy.....Mo!"
Pack Pack - This is the most recent phrase to leave us, for which I grieve. Jake has several backpacks and loves to carry his comfy monkey (that's another one, the monkey's name has become Comfy Monkey) and other toys around in his 'pack pack'. The other day I noticed he had finally figured out that it is a back pack...I was heartbroken.
Smooky - Every night after dinner Jake goes around the house and turns off all the lights, saying with a mischevious grin, "I'm going to make it all smooky in here!"
As I think of other words I'll post them here, but I would also love to hear what your children's funniest or most cherished words were. They touch us in so many ways, those little voices, don't they?
