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.

The Shot Heard Round the World!
Those of you with little ones and pap-eye-ers (that's what we call them) or nuks or binkys or the like will know what I mean by the title of this blog...When we put Boo down for his naps or bedtime, he always has his papeyer in tow. We snuggle him, settle him down, make sure the papeyer is in place, leave the room, and then we wait...
...for the "shot heard round the world". It is the moment we hear, over the monitor, that the papeyer has left his mouth! The papeyer drops out on to his mattress or hits the side of the crib with a seemingly LOUD crack and B-man and I hold our breath as we rush to the video monitor to see if our Lil Boo will stay asleep now that the coveted papeyer is awry, or if the shot heard round the world was loud enough to rouse him out of his slumber and send him over the edge!!! If he doesn't move for about 30 seconds or so, we're usually safe and he will sleep for a little while longer. If he immediately starts moving, especially if he tries to get his fingers in his mouth, we're in for multiple trips to his room to get him back to sleep. Does this sound familiar to anyone??
Where did we come up with the "shot heard round the world" line?
One day we were in the car and Boo was "fussy". I reached back to appease him with said papeyer and...it worked. Only to be followed by a quiet "click" sound as it dropped out of his mouth onto the carseat. I looked at B-man and said, "Did you hear his papeyer fall out of his mouth?". B-man replied with... "Of course I did, everybody did...it was the 'shot heard round the world'!! I thought the line to be quite funny and appropriate!

Awesome Prayer
I was reading the blog of a friend of mine and a group of gals she went to college with (B-mama and friends over at Building Cathedrals) and came across this prayer that one of the ladies posted. It was a prayer she prayed on a summer retreat as part of her morning quiet time. I thought it to be a great prayer to start your day in the right frame of mind, remembering to offer your day to the Lord. I hope you find it as comforting as I do.
God my Father, Lord of heaven and earth, Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier. I adore You and love You with all my heart. I thank you for counting me worthy to stand in your presence and serve you.
I offer you on this day my prayer, my work and effort, my suffering and joy. I ask that I can do all of this out of love for you and according to your will.
Grant me perseverance in living my Christian vocation, patience in suffering, courage in proclaiming my faith, wisdom in my life journey, and charity in my dealings with others.
Free me from all sin and from all evil. May your grace always remain with me and with all those who are dear to me.
Amen.
Of course, a blog post of this proud mama wouldn't be complete without a Lil Boo update so, here is your dose of a happy little boy!
He's starting to figure out how to use his hands to bring things to his mouth.
