"Mommy, Becky!"

Well...it's official...Parker knows my name!! For the past couple of weeks every once in a while Parker would say something that sounded like he was calling me "Becky". We thought maybe it was all in our heads and we were just hearing what we wanted to hear. Today however, there was no denying that he said "Becky". I was changing his diaper this morning and he asked if he could have a wipe (don't ask me why but the kid LOVES to hold a wipe and "clean" things while I change his diaper). I gave him the wipe and then I said, "Parker has a wipe and mommy has a wipe". He then looked at me and said "Wipe for Parkie" (James and I call him Parkie sometimes and so he now sometimes calls himself Parkie instead of Parker...although he can say both), "Wipe for Becky". I then said, "What did you say?...Who am I?" and he said plain as day, "Becky...Becky a wipe". I guess he has just picked this up from hearing James and other people call me Becky because we have never TRIED to get him to say "Becky" or told him that my name was Becky. Then later in the day at lunch he started saying "mommy Becky, mommy Becky!" over and over again! I tried to get a video of him saying it and it kind of worked, although if you watch the video you'll see that for some reason he started calling me "yellow"! He has never called me yellow before the video and hasn't called me yellow since the video so I'm not sure what that was all about. It's like he knows when I get the camera out that I want him to do a particular thing so he kind of does what I'm wanting him to do but is ornery enough that he doesn't do exactly what I'm wanting to get on picture and/or video. Oh well...maybe someday... :)

We've thought that Parker has been saying "Becky" for a couple of weeks now but weren't sure until today.
