I realize it's what they do. Talk. But when you are just so used to the baby coos followed by the toddler jibberish and leading up to the real deal, it just seems like it happens overnight. Griffin will tell us stories, rehash old memories, play jokes on his sissy, all while using such great words and sentences.
While rocking the other night, we had a talk about his pacifier (baba).
Me: Pretty soon we will have to stop using baba because you are such a big boy now.
G: Yeah, baba for babies. Me big boy.
Me: That's right, bubs, you are a big boy.
G: Me saw baby with baba.
Me: We did, didn't we? Babies need babaas.
G: Me no need baba. ::goes to his dresser and sets it on top::
Me: Wow, bubs, you are such a big boy! You don't need baba?
G: No me need baba.
::rocking for a few minutes in silence::
G: Mommy?
Me: Yeah bubs?
G: Me baby. ::runs over and grabs baba::
So much for getting rid of it, going that route.
