I set out to sift through my past Facebook statuses (I love to share the hilarity) to find all the funny/cute things Rob has said since he started talking (obviously) to today. Here's a list of my favorites so far:
---
Matt just told Robby, "Tomorrow, maybe we'll go to the Cat dealership and look at dumptrucks." Without skipping a beat, Robby replies, "MEOW!!" 1/22/10
I think Robby and I had our first actual conversation. It went like this - Rob: "Hey Mama!" Me: "What?" Rob: "Hi!" 1/27/10
Me: "Robby, say 'grandpa'." Robby: "Mama." Me: "No, 'grand-pa'." Robby: "Ma-ma." Me: "Gr-and-pa." Robby: *in patronizingly-slow tone* "Maa-maa." 2/3/10
Matt: "Hey Rob! What does Mama say?" Rob: "Ooh-ooh-ee! Moo!" 6/16/10
Matt just broke out the squirt gun for Rob to play with outside. Matt asked him, "Do you want to squirt Daddy?" Rob replies, "Squirt Mama!" 6/27/10
Rob: "Oh, Mama! That train!" Me: "Yeah, it is a train. Good job." Rob: "Hoo hoo (train noise)." 7/2/10
Matt: "We have to get ready, go bye-byes, and do stuff." Rob: "Uh-huh. Bye-bye and stuff." 7/3/10
Backstory: Our lawns are mowed on Tuesdays. Me: "Is there a guy out there weed-whacking?" Rob: "Guy out there whackin'!" 7/13/10
While talking to the toaster, prompted by me, in the cutest voice imaginable. Rob: "Come out, waffles. I want to eat you!" 7/14/10
I've been trying to emphasize different sounds so Rob can learn how to say certain words correctly. He's all of a sudden a literalist because he just came up to me asking for "fffffffff-ruit 'nacks" (fruit snacks). 8/4/10
Robby all of a sudden just yelled, "I'M SPECIAL!!" - should I worry? I mean, after I stop laughing? 8/4/10
Robby just informed us that he's "tired of Drew" and wanted him to go "night-nights". 8/15/10
Matt: "Don't say "pretty" unless you're talking about Mama. She's pretty. Do you think Mama's pretty?" Rob: "No. *giggle*" From the mouths of babes! 8/16/10
Rob tries so hard to be big. While changing his diaper, I told him, "Now, don't cry. You're a big boy." He had a bit of a rash, so he told me, "Hurt bad. Gonna cry, Mama." It broke my heart. You could tell he was trying so hard to hold back the tears, but just couldn't contain himself anymore. Poor kid. 8/23/10
I guess it's just a cute Robby day. While trying to "decide" what to "write" with his crayons, he put the crayon to his mouth, said, "Hmm...hmm...", pointed one little index finger into the air as if an thought had come to him, and continued "writing". I about died laughing - I do that while I'm writing lists! 8/23/10
Robby is taking care of me for a change. I'm laying on the couch and he came over to me, rubbed my hair, kissed my cheek, and then said, "Feel better." What a sweetie. 10/11/10
Rob: "It's a mouse!" Me: "Actually, it's supposed to be a butterfly." Rob: "Butterfly? Are you kidding?!" 10/16/10
What have I created? Rob was given an old, broken camera this weekend and now he's following me around saying, "Smile! Cheese! Mama, smile! Cheese! Mama!" If there was such a thing as karma... 10/25/10
Rob referred to pooping on the potty as "making brown" today. I about died. Excuse the bathroom humor, but too funny not to share. 10/26/10
Rob, evidently, is a literalist. He's holding the phone book to his ear and saying, "Hello? Anyone there? Hello?" 11/5/10
I survived my first Thanksgiving dinner. The only thing on the menu that didn't turn out was the Egg Nog Cream Pie. (It made for dang good pudding, though.) Favorite line today: In the middle of dinner, Robby all of sudden exclaims, "Oh! I farted!" Yeah...great memories were made. :) 11/25/10
Favorite line from the dinner table: When seeing chicken strips on his plate, Robby exclaimed, "Oh, chickens!" 11/28/10
As I'm stirring my coffee this morning, Rob comes up to me and says, "Clean Mama...very messy," and starts scrubbing away at my pant leg with a diaper wipe. Hmm. 12/16/10
I gave Rob a potato chip and he tells me, "Hershey wants one too, Mama." I'm thinking, "This kid's a con artist, now," but then he tells me, after pretending to feed the chip to his teddy bear, "Here you go, Mama. You can have it. Hershey's done." 12/21/10
Matt just told Rob that if he (Rob) made me mad, I would eat him. Rob then came over to me, got right up in my face, and said, "Don't eat me, Mama!" 12/28/10
Listening to Rob talk about his toys "freaking out". Example: "Oh no! Giraffe is freakin' out! Now dinosaur is freakin' out!" 1/6/11
Random Robby Thought: "God made lots of giraffes and Jesus loves lions." 2/3/11
Rob made up his own song: "I'm so haaapppyyy, I'm so spppeeeccciiiaaalll, I'm so haaapppyyy, I'm so spppeeeccciiiaaalll..." 3/3/11
I repeated a made-up word Rob came up with. He shook his little head and said, "You don't know what you're talking about, Mama." 3/10/11
One of the episodes of Blue's Clues, Season 4 on Netflix was dubbed over in Spanish for some reason. All the rest of them are in English. Rob keeps cracking up, saying that Joe is "talking crazy". 3/25/11
We're watching the new Alice In Wonderland and when the Red Queen came up, Rob's all, "Oh, McDonald's!" (Ronald McDonald) 3/30/11
After setting Rob's breakfast in front of him this morning, I said, "Now, eat, drink, and be merry!" He looks at me and says, "I'm not Mary! I'm Robby!" Literalist. 4/12/11
According to Rob, Old McDonald had a zebra. Who knew? 4/12/11
Rob, while standing on a pillow, tells me, "Look! I'm big now! Can I have a bicycle for my birthday, now?" 4/18/11
Rob requested eggs, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, cereal, milk with chlorophyll, and a pickle for breakfast. 4/20/11
Me: "Let me go in the kitchen to see if I can scare up some food for breakfast." Rob (running after me): "I wanna scare the food, too!" 4/26/11
Rob's watching Hansel and Gretel on Super Why. When the witch slammed the door, Rob said, "She needs to shut it quietly so she doesn't wake her witch brother!" 5/3/11
It's quite humbling to have a little voice asking you at key moments, "Hey, Mama? You remember the cross?" 5/3/11
Rob: "Hear the ocean, Mama?" Me: "No, that's the dishwasher." Rob: "Oh." 5/4/11
