In Search of New Vocabulary…

Written by Heather Haupt 6 Comments

Eat, sleep, get held a lot.
This is the life, isn’t it?
While I get used to the whole idea of having a little girl, she is getting plenty of lovin’s…

We eye-ball her little girl clothes with eager anticipation!!!

 And I’m thankful for little girl clothes!!!  My first words to her as she was handed to me were,
“It’s ok, buddy.  Don’t cry.”
I realized then and over the next several days how used to little boys I’ve become.  I’m working on acquiring a whole new girly vocabulary…
Even with dressing her in girly clothes, I keep calling my precious daughter ‘little guy’ , ‘buddy’, ‘bud’, ‘he’, ‘him’, etc…

 

Thankfully, she’s been very understanding.

For those of you that like that sort of thing, I’ll be writing up my birth story soon and sharing since I love reading them so much…

    I did the same thing when my little girl was born- after 4 boys it took a lot to not say buddy, sir, boy, etc…now it’s second nature to say the girly words instead. Congratulations on your new baby girl!
