ba da be do ba do

For the past month or so, Berkleigh has babbled like she has never babbled before. She sounds like she is speaking, but whatever language it is, I don't understand. However, Merrick does! She will talk to him and have the most serious look on her face, and then she will smile, and Merrick will bust a gut laughing. Merrick has now joined the bandwagon and babbles contently ALL day long. 

I do not have video of him yet (he is a little camera shy) but her is Boo with her funny talk:

These are new words that the twins can say:

Rower : Flower (think Scooby Doo version) (B and M)

Ok, funny story about the word above! Both Merrick and Berkleigh can say Flower, but it started one morning bright and early right before nap time. Berkleigh was throwing a tantrum because she wanted a flower I had in a vase on the bookshelf. I told her no. She cried, and flailed her arms etc. After she stopped crying, she started pointing at it, so I picked her up and let her look at it. She started begging, you know, "uh, uh, uh" and I told her, "You cannot have the flower. I will give it to you if you say flower..." She looked right at me, and said, "rower". I gave it to her (how can I threaten and then not go through with it? And in 3 minutes there were no petals left.

booot: book (Berkleigh)

da dah :Grandpa and Grandma (Merrick)

moo: cow (Berleigh)

Nigh nigh: Night Night (B & M)

tis : kiss (Berleigh)

his Zat: Whats that? (M & B)

But Merrick's has turned into : Wha is sat?

uh oh: uh oh (M & B)

Oh no: Oh no (Merrick)

Oh Wow : (Merrick)

They both fold their arms for night time and dinner prayers, and Merrick throws his hands in the air and says, "Ahh" for Amen at the end.

They also can sign:

milk

more

eat

all done

sometimes "Thank you"
