Buh-bye!

I love that you talk so much now. It really does crack me up. Such a big girl. I'm not sure I could list everything you say, but you know me... I'll try. :) Here's the quick list I can remember of words I have either heard you say more than once or you say regularly:

Buh-bye (plus fill-in-the-blank: Daddy, Mommy, Baby, Binkie, Elmo, etc. etc.)
Melmo (Elmo)
Mommy
Daddy
Baby
I love you
Mamaw (Grandma)
Bee (also sometimes Beebee = Binkie)
Doggie
Pincess (Princess - the dog)
BALL! (most commonly said word in our house, and the only word you will say when talking on the phone?!)
What's that?
Car
Go
Bah, Bah-bah or Bah-nah (banana)
Cackeh (cracker)
Milk
Wa-wa (water, agua)
Cup
Cahtoon (cartoon)
Poop
Pooh (as in Winnie the...)
Minnie
Owie
Bubble! (this words means "bath")
Uh-oh
Shoe
Sock
NO!
Book

Edited to add additional words:
Mine! (thanks, Chris)
Cacka (cracker)
Juice
and the best one so far - hee hee - "Go Sox!" (of course, it's more like "Go daws!" but that's close enough)

Eh, that's all I can remember right now. You're saying quite a lot now that I look at the list. And they're more clear all the time. It's pretty fun.

I thought we'd end up staying home today. Your teacher thought you had a fever and you were acting sick all evening. Very clingy and sleepy. I thought we'd have a horrible night. You fell asleep around 7, then woke up around 9:15. I gave you some Benadryl and Tylenol (no fever actually, but you acted like something hurt), and you fell back asleep and stayed there until 6:30 a.m.! Hurrah! This morning, you were awake and cheerful and low temperature'd. I shipped you off to school and hopefully it was just something random. You have a tiny bit of diaper rash which might have been frustrating things some. But I am really busy at work and Daddy's doing a practicum at a school today and tomorrow so we really need you to not get sick until Friday. Good? Good. And Grandma's out of town until Friday too so she can't help. Hopefully you're fine and it's a non-issue.

Incidentally, you've had a lot of - uh - unpleasant intestinal manifestations (read: poop) lately. I have decided to go ahead and seek out a Celiac Disease blood test for you. Not that I actually think you have it, but I admit it's a possibility. And most importantly, I want to just be able to rule it out and stop wondering. If I don't know for sure, then everytime you have diarrhea or random painful cries it makes me wonder if maybe - just maybe - you do actually have it. So, let's just find out and put that one to bed. And if you do... Well, better the Devil you know and all that, right? You'll get your flu shot next Friday so I'll ask for a pediatric gastroenterologist referral then. Yay.

And how 'bout them Sox? Dang that was a good game. Riot gear and all.
