"Mem!"
That's what the baby says. For him, it means "diaper's dirty" or "I'm hungry" or "Why aren't you holding me"

It can also mean "Teletubbies RAWK" or "Blocks taste like crib gates"

I wonder what life would be like if our language only consisted of one word...

5. It's all in the delivery.
I bet I could tell you "fuck" and you'd know exactly what I meant. ;)

4. Cute!
Babies are the best thing in the world. My first baby's word for everything was 'nockum'. :)

Teletubbies is out at my house. My 4 y.o. likes Boobah - which reminds me of the Teletubbies, but it's downright strange.

9. Yes, and thy name is Boobah
It was actually created by the people who did Teletubbies...someone must've had an extra bag of whatever lying around...

11. My middle son called his pacifier.."Bok"
We always referred to it as a plug.. as in "Put a plug in it"..He could not say plug, so it came out "bok".. When we took it away from him (he could only have it at night in his bed), he would be in his room and cry out.. "Bok...Bok...Bok"..

We had friend over one night and they asked us if he was doing a "chicken impression "..

Such a silly little boy he was :)
