Colsen is very busy trying to be like everyone else -- imitating all of our speech patterns, among other things. So most of the time he sounds quite grown-up and we laugh about what a little man he is. But sometimes he comes up with his own little words and phrases that we enjoy...
For instance, he calls a banana a "go-vayna." And he likes to refer to Rayna as "Rayna-go-dayna." (Since these 2 things rhyme, we think that if he composed a song about her eating a banana, it would become a family favorite.) He also says, "Have a big, please" when he means that he wants an apple cut into big pieces, and not baby-size pieces. And when he's done with a meal, he always says, "Have a get down now."
Here are a few of my other favorite quotes of his lately...
"Wook, Mommy, it's darking outside!" (he says this a lot in the evenings when he notices it getting dark)
Pete: Colsen, should we go change your diaper?
Cole: No. Maybe tomorrow.
Me: Hey, baby!
Cole: I'm not a baby! I'm just Colsen!
Sadly, I guess he's right.
He's recently started climbing out of his crib. The first time I heard a big thump and went up to find him walking around on the floor saying that his head hurt. But after that first time he improved his technique, and now approaches it as if he was scaling a fence, putting a leg over and turning around so he lands on his feet. I guess this crib stage is about over.
And here's a little video doing some of the pretending he likes to do. In this one he's acting like he's an old man and needs a cane because his back hurts... but then he falls out of character a bit by the end. :)
C as old man
He definitely keeps us entertained.... except for when he's throwing a tantrum or a crying fit, which are becoming a little too common these days!
