Stuff Tucker Says

Tucker FOR SURE says the following:

BATH! (sounds like BAH!) but it is FOR SURE bath. He loves bath time. Tonight he stood up to pee with one hand against the wall of the tub and then squatted down to doo doo in the water. He shakes after he poops. Always has. I had never dealt with a floating turd before. I screamed and made Tyler come and dig it out. I am SOOOO happy Madeline refused a bath with her brother tonight. I cannot even imagine the freak out a floating turd would have elicited from miss priss.

Thank you (tah too) He said it yesterday after Madeline agreed to share her afternoon Starbucks cookie with him. Every day we go for coffee and a cookie and I am sure that every day for a year he has thought, "Well #*%@!!!, when am I gonna get MY cookie?" I am very proud that he said thank you.

Duck (DUK) he has said it a couple of times when we look at his board book.

Bye (BY!) Real short and sweet. No "bye bye." Thursday I waved at a friend leaving MDO and Tucker spontaneously waved hysterically, said "BY!" and blew a kiss. SO FLIPPIN SWEET!

Gi Gi He loves his GiGi. My grandmother. They have always been best friends. She wants to eat him up.

Da Da- DUH! He loves his Dad most of all.

He will say Mama (MMMMah MMMMah) if I am not getting the food on his tray fast enough or if I have my back to him. That's about it.

Baby (Baay beee) this is my favorite. Any baby anywhere. His reflection in anything. A picture of a baby in a store. So sweet.

He still barks any time he hears a dog bark. I think he calls the dog baybe too. Or puppy. I can't decide what it sounds like.

That's all I can think of for now.
