Ivar at 18 months (He’s one and a half!)
Ivar likes the L sound. We sing Allelu Allelu Allelu all the
time. He has started saying a very exaggerated “he-LOW, hello” And yesterday in
the car he kept repeating, “Lil lil Mama, Lil lil Mama” And it made me feel
good, because this mama is feeling anything but little lately.
Ivar likes to lift up the cushion on the glider rocker and
hide his trucks and balls there. So when I go in to read him books before bed,
I often feel like I have just laid a few eggs. Sometimes I try to ignore the
fact that there is a truck under me, but that’s a hard one to ignore.
I wagged my finger at Ivar telling him no, and now Ivar wags
his finger back at me, telling me no.
He loves trucks, tractors, trains, cars and airplanes. We
have a Richard Scarry book and he will only settle on four of the pages, the
ones that have proper vehicles pictured.
When we are greeted at the door at church, the greeters will
always try to talk to Ivar. And Ivar never says hello. He just buzzes his lips
and points to the parking lot as if to say, “that’s our car and I love our car,
and on the way here we saw all sorts of thrilling vehicles going fast on 494.”
Ivar’s words: ball, bottle, nana (banana), mama, dado, toonsie, kitty, bow
wow, bapa, papa, mimi, meow, cheese, mo! (more), baby, nigh nigh, nose, e’s (ears) tee (teeth), peas (please),
am (ham), uh oh, no, esss! (yes), boon (balloon), Onna (sonna), nack (snack),
fishy, wada bottle (water bottle), baththththth (bath), neigh, E-man! (Amen!)...
Ivar knows when a conversation needs to end. If he thinks we're talking to long to another person he will smile sweetly, wave and say, "Bah Bye. Bah Bye." He tried this at the doctor today when he was sick of being poked. He also pulls it out when we're talking to friends after church, people we meet while out for a walk, or anyone who seems to slow his pace of life...

So with that, I had better sign off. Bah Bye.

Now I know why the rocker felt bumpy when I read to Ivar the other night! I kept checking to see if we were sitting on something, but didn't think to check UNDER the cushion!

OHHHHHHHH!!!!! I want to spend some time with Ivar!!! What a nut! You've captured him incredibly well in this post.
Just. Too. Cute.
Bah bye:)
Btw, I decided to just go with a new blog.
blessings, flo
He sounds like a wonderful little man. :) I can just see a sweet little boy hiding his trucks under the rocker cushion.
so cute :)
Judah still has a hard time with the L sound...we practice it all the time but unless I prompt him, all L's are replaced by a W. I think he pretty much always gets the L sound right in Lucas's name but we spent a ton of time practicing.
I just figure that when he loses his little baby ways, he is officially big and I don't want to rush it so I let his w's linger :) or "winger" depending on how you want to say it...ha
You should get Llama llama red pajama if you haven't to read with him. There are lots of l's in the book and there are so many other fun Llama books to!
