Toddler Speak

I think I'm going to start a new language - the language of toddlers. It is based on the pronunciations and new words they create. Some of Rudy's new words:



eh-fa-fant : elephant (much more fun to say than the original)



peek-a-goo : peek-a-boo



nah-nay : grande ( I find myself using this word now instead of big or grande, and he usually says it with a lot of emotion and draws the word out)



goal : ball (because when we played ball with him in the hotel in Guatemala, whenever the ball would hit the wall, we'd say "Goal")





moo-me : excuse me





crash : couch (Paul was telling him the other day not to crash his car into the couch. Somehow he got crash and couch confused and now refers to the couch as the crash - seems somewhat fitting!)


Once again, the picture has nothing to do with the post. It's from our first visit to Guatemala in July 2006. Rudy was about 7 1/2 months old.
