New Vocabulary

Since the arrival of our Lil Boo, a new vernacular has emerged in our home. And after my last post where I used our term for pacifier (papeyer), I thought it would be interesting to share other new terms and phrases with you (you might think, TMI, when you read some of them, but if you have babies, I know you know what we're talking about!!!)

1. papeyer-pacifier
2. cheese-the white "stuff" we find hiding in the folds of Boo's neck and under his arms
3. under rooskies or rooskies or roos- his diaper- ex. "Do you have on dirty roos?"
4. 'filling his shorts'- self explanatory
5. 'dirty drawers' -see #4 ;)
6. jammers-pajamas. I think I got this one from the Bradleys?
7. jet seat-This is G's car seat. He hates to get in it, so I tell him it's time to get in his jet seat and go on an important mission. What does he fly you ask? Well, the A-10 Warthog of course!
8. tummy time-play time on his tummy
9. full body smile-this is when he smiles soo big that his arms and legs flex and scrunch up. Mamas and Daddies love full body smiles. They're the best.
10. sugar-these are the kisses Mama and Daddy steal from him. BeBe got us started on this term.
11. wrap-his swaddle wrap that we snuggle him in for naps and bedtime
12. boob sleep-when he falls asleep nursing
13. Hollah!-what we say after he toots!
14. our sugar dumpling, our dismount (army inside joke), our photogenic one, our Hershey squirt (if he has 'filled his shorts' prior to waking...you can almost always hear it over the monitor...hehehe), Mr. Squeakers, Mr. Crankers, our Lil Boo, etc... these are the affectionate nick names that B-man calls G when he has to wake me at 2 or 3 a.m. to feed the little guy

What are some terms that have worked their way into your homes now that you have children?

Oh yeah, I decided to enrich our "regular" vocabulary by adding a word of the day link in the sidebar (to the left of screen) of our blog. Check it out.

1. jammy jams - pajamas
2. chunck-a-monk, boo-boo, boo-boo chicken - affectionate knickname for J
3. boob or milk drunk - that drunk look on his face after he eats, right before he falls asleep
4. rootie-tootie - self explanatory

:) my personal favorite...boo-boo chicken (bert from sesame street sings a song called "doing the coo-coo pigeon", and boo-boo chicken sort of evolved from that. so silly!)

I'm trying to think of any additional ones we have. Cute idea!
1. Binky, binkers, b-bink =pacifier
2. Bibi =lovie blanket
3. brother bath =baths together
4. dipe =diaper
5. a stinky =poopy dipe
6. squeegee =bulb syringe
7. team =the G family

Not too creative here in Gasperini-Ville. Maybe we'll come up with a few new ones with boy #3!

OK, Here is one that G's Aunt R used to say. She wore little ponytails when she was a little girl and she called them "pons" pronounced with a long "o" sound. So by the time Carolina Girl arrived, "pons" were part of our daily vocabulary.
