Benjamin's Language

So here is a bit of translation help for anybody that is fortunate enough to spend some time with little Benjamin:

watee: water (I need a drink)
chank choo: thank you
peas: please
uh-oh: I just threw something on the floor. (probably food)
ballee: I want that ball that I see.
papaw: grandpa, or grandma-it works for both : )
hot: (hand held out toward object) that is dangerous--works for fire, cacti, ocean, whatever
stuck: I'm in my car seat and I want out.
owee: I'm hurt.
baby: any living thing smaller than Benjamin (worked for flies, ants, and babies)
men: amen

Actually, he's starting to say many more words and mimic sounds pretty well, I just want to make sure we remember some of the funny things he's done as he has started to talk.

Hi Sheri! I had so much fun playing with Benjamin when you were here - I'm glad you have a blog so I can keep up to date with him! He is so cute - show him a picture of "Auntie Danae" so he will remember we are friends! I have a cute picture of him climbing a tree - I'll have to send it to you!
