Little Voice

Some moms get all bummed about their babies getting bigger. I myself am guilty of looking at C's baby pictures both with fondness and a certain longing.

But his increasing shoe size and growing body don't make me sad. What I want to never change is his little voice.

It's the best thing in the world to hear him talk! Today, he's walking around saying "ocurt aisins" (yogurt raisins). Last night I laughed and laughed as I was putting him to bed, because he flicked his hand at himself and said "Poof! Egg!" (because his Nana and Tata tell him "want me to make you an egg? Poof! You're an egg!"). I called him "silly" and he got serious and said "Tata!", like he was saying "not me, it's Tata."

I love to hear the way he says his numbers and letters, how he tells me his "car go past (fast)" and how red and yellow are finally starting to get consonants at the beginning ("wed" and "wellow"). Also, every animal either goes "eee awww" or "moo", except dogs, who definitely go "woof" and roosters, who go "cockadoo".

I am trying to get all of this on video, but every time he sees the red light come on the Vado, he says "pone" (phone) and tries to grab for it.

So, can't his little voice just stay the same forever?
