This blog received its title from our beloved Isaac. For a few weeks, he would often randomly say “bodygong” (said exactly how it’s spelled.) I started calling him Mr. Bodygong after that.
Isaac has some bizarre nicknames and some run of the mill nicknames. Some of the nicknames that he has had in his 15 months include:
Boog
Boogie
Booger
Boogaloo
Bugs
JubJub
Mr. Vagoo (it’s the hard g, people!)
Mr. Bodygong
Mister
Sweetheart
Bud
Buddy
Budge
Budgie
Budgeroo
Fuss Budget
I am sure I could add more to the list, but those are the ones that come to mind right now.
In other news...
I am entertained through and through by the words Isaac tries to use. My current favorites include:
Gunk (skunk,) pees (please,) yemin (lemon,) beans!, sooz (shoes,) tick (chick.)
It seems a little embarrassing, but I can’t really say what Isaac’s first word was (besides names like mama/dada/bee/daydee). He began saying things fairly early (around 8 months,) but his method was very bizarre. He would say a word almost clear as a bell, then he wouldn’t say that word again for weeks or months. I guess if I had to choose, I’d say “ball.” He’s been saying ball pretty regularly since around 8 mos. He’s going to be a little chatterbox when he learns how to ask questions.
Lastly, Isaac (Mr. Bodygong,) will be 16 months old on Sunday. We still think his eyes are changing colors and haven't settled yet. They went from being dark blue (as many newborns are,) to brighter blue, to greener, to greyish blue, to this:
What color would you say they are? (you may need to click to enlarge the eyes)

I found a lot of milestones, like first words, hard to pinpoint -- like when my girls started crawling, it was such a gradual process of them trying different things to where they were incredibly proficient at it, that when people asked when they first crawled I was like, "Um, between 7 and 9 months?!" :-) Annie would also test out a word before way later adding it into her rotation. And, Ellie had VERY hard to identify eye color -- at her one year check up I asked her doctor what color she thought they were and she was stumped, "I don't know -- they're just cool." Although I don't think 'cool colored' is an option on a drivers license for eyes. :-) (Now that she's two, they're much more brown/hazel -- at one they were gray/green/hazel/blue -- depending on the light.)
Can that kid be any cuter? He is getting so "old" looking...less like a babe and more like a kid. I think his eyes are hazel. Basically, meaning a mix of a lot of really cool colors.
We have about a million nicknames for Quinn. It will be interesting to see which ones stick.
I'm impressed at all the words he knows. Yeah for Isaac. And his eyes are very similar to my girl's eyes. Their color stumps me too. So if you figure it out, let me know.
I love when kids are learning to talk, don't love it so much when they learn to tell you off though...ha ha! Funny thing about his new nickname is it probably is something he sees daily, but you just haven't figured out quite what it is. I think his eyes will be brownish....is there a hazel brown? Either way so cute!
Oh man! He is so cute! Izzy says dada. And that's it. Can we please hang out again soon?
