Ryker-isms

Good Lord that boy talks a lot now. I'll try to document his new pronunciations as best I can.

• I served him hot cocoa for the first time today. He referred to it for the next several hours as his "coffee."
• His favorite songs are "Cankle" (Twinkle Twinkle Little Star), "Hah-tay-toe" (Hot Potato), and our personal favorite, "Giggle Balls" (Jingle Bells). Favorite artists are "Boobay" (Michael Buble) and "Bee-alls" (the Beatles).
• He "yuvs" (loves) the "Wig-uhls" (Wiggles) and particularly "yikes" (likes) the "cock-uh-puhls" (octopus).
• He'll say most everyone's names now, but the cutest right now might be "Cuh-yen" (Cullen).
• Favorite toys are "cockuh ba-yul" (soccer ball), "tains" (trains), and "sub-all" (shovel).
• Winter accessories include "mitts" (mittens) and a "cack-et" (jacket).
• When movies are starting they are "coming" and then they are either "o-buh" (over) or "bow-ken" (broken).
• He's not potty-trained yet, but he'll tell us when he's "messy" or "stinky" most of the time. Sometimes he lies and says "I fi-yun" when he's clearly not.

Anyway, we're having fun deciphering what he's saying. We have to ask Jack to translate at times, and he always comes through.
