Today I’ve got a gift basket giveaway that enhances life with little ones. Since this blog is about simplicity, and since it’s geared towards parents, these products align perfectly with our entire philosophy here. Plus, I love that every one of these companies are mom-owned and operated.
One reader will receive all of these items as one gift basket plethora of childlike goodness! Read on.
Oliver Handmade
Erin has a darling shop, Oliver Handmade, where she sells her hand-appliqued and embroidered onesies, shirts, and bibs for little ones. I especially love the animals – she’s got everything from elephants to crabs to elks!
For the gift basket, Oliver Handmade is giving a 3-6 month short-sleeved onesie with her Gerry the Giraffe design. Too cute.
Swingset Mamas
These two moms named Swingset Mamas are song writers and performers who’ve collaborated on two CDs of music for the entire family. Their lyrics are fun and educational, and – well, let’s just say their music doesn’t sound too much like kids’ music. The parents won’t go insane listening to it. It’s a win-win!
Swingset Mamas is giving away one copy of their latest DVD, Swing, Dance and Sing. You can see more by heading here for a compilation of their work.
Shape-Its
Michelle, a busy mom, invented Shape-Its, which are aluminum cook-top and oven-safe food shapers. They come in over 30 different designs, and you can create concoctions like individual turtle pizzas, pterodactyl pancakes, giant airplane cookies, and heart hamburgers. What kid wouldn’t love that?
Shape-Its is giving away two holiday kits, just in time for Christmas! Each kit contains a tree, star, and angel shape, along with decorating gel, sprinkles, and four food-safe markers. And because they’ve donated two, that means one additional reader will win a kit! Thank you, Michelle.
Little Alouette
This is a very sweet mom-and-pop shop (literally), where they make all-natural wooden toys and baby gear for little ones from their home. Little Alouette creates blocks, rattles, and more, using maple wood and organic seed oils as a finish. Their stuff is beautifully simple.
Little Alouette is giving away a maple rattler teether, perfect for your baby or for a baby shower gift. Let the drooling begin.
Ambajam
Ambajam carries the cutest baby gear, including mix-n-match clothing and accessories and some really great blankets, quilts, and pillows. Their cuddle blankets get rave reviews around the blogosphere – most have said they’re like squeezing a cloud.
Ambajam is donating a mini cuddle to the gift basket, a great on-the-go blanket made with double-sided plush felt, and adorned with an embroidered baby turtle. Love it.
Swaddlebees
Margarita began sewing diapers for her newborn in 2004, and today, she runs Swaddlebees, her organic fabric diaper business that also sells covers, accessories, and high-quality cloth diapers in 32 designer fabrics. The diapers are lined with organic cotton, which is non-toxic and non-irritating, and contain no bleach, chlorine, or pesticides. Its specially-woven microfleece is 95 percent less susceptible to detergent build-up. Cloth diapering is now just as easy an option as disposable, with so many choices, supplies, and well-made materials. They just make so much sense ecologically and economically.
Swaddlebees is giving one reader one of their latest pocket Econappis in a fun print. This is perfect for the parent who wants to give cloth diapering a spin.
Laugh-Friendly
Two sisters, Elizabeth Sills and Elena Patrice, created the world of Nana Star based on characters created years ago by their grandmother. The stories are above all concerned with inspiring character by encouraging traditional values like compassion, kindness, and generosity. Their beautifully-illustrated picture books are created to build character in youngsters – they promote positive values in a simple and imaginative manner. So sweet.
The Laugh Friendly publishers are giving a wonderful set to the gift basket – the books “Nana Star” and “Nana Star and The Moonman,” a Nana Star poseable doll, and a Moonman Lovey. In addition – and this is what I just love – they will give the winner an additional one to donate to their favorite charity, children’s hospital, library, school, organization, or caregiver. What a quality company.
MetroTots
Mary Ann Schwanewede of MetroTots is an urban mom in New York City, and had a problem I can definitely relate to – where to store the stroller. Those of us that live in metropolitan cities – and the suburbs, too – know that storage space is at a premium, and strollers can be cumbersome-yet-essential gear. She created the StrollAway, an over-the-door storage system that works for most models of strollers. It’s made of durable steel and is adjustable to nine different positions. So simple, but it’s brilliant.
MetroTots is giving one StrollAway to the gift basket. You better believe I’m psyched about a product that is both created by a mom and reduces clutter and streamlines home organization. I’m in love with this thing.
Whew… What a giveaway, no? The total value is over $230 – most of this would make wonderful Christmas presents, so it’s just in time for the holidays.
How To Win
1. Leave a comment on this post and tell me something cute your little one does or says (or if you’re not a parent, it can be any little one in your life). I know this will be really challenging for you.
2. For a second entry, blog or Twitter about this giveaway and make sure I know about it.
No secret code this time… I’m still recovering from the last secret code giveaway.
This giveaway ends on Wednesday, December 3 at midnight CST.
I hope you win!

My little girl bleeps instead of sleeps. She often tells me “Mommy, I no want to go to bleep now.”
Oh dear, I’d love to win this! My little one has another 13 weeks before she makes her appearance, so right now the cutest thing she does is kick when my dh says goodbye to her in the morning, when he leaves for work!
Tammy´s last blog post…~Happy Thanksgiving!~
My dd is learning to play the “biolin” (violin)
My little guy is 6 mths old and he flaps his arms like a penguin when he’s excited about something. If you bring out a favorite toy or a book he loves, it’s his way of saying “YES YES YES!!”
As we were walking through the store this week, my four-year-old queried, “Mommy, does Santa obey God?” … and I realized that when the idea of Santa has to find definition in a child’s theology, it might be time to dispel the myth.

I have a four year old as well who is starting to ask similar questions. I bought the book “God Gave us Christmas” and she is going to get it on the first day of advent. It’s a really cute book about the real reason we celebrate. There is a little bit about how Santa is nice because he teaches us generosity but really focuses on God and Jesus.
Michelle´s last blog post…Art will take you places.
Ah, so many cute things. I love that my son asks for a massage. “Mommy, can you give me a massage?”
How can I say no to a massage lovin’ kiddo?
Kris Reply:
November 30th, 2008 at 3:00 am
My just turned 3 year old daughter also asks for massages, once she said ” Momma, my chest hurts can you massage my legs?”
Awhile back when driving in the car, in her cutest little chimpmunk voice ever, she said “Mom your cool, wanna go break some rules?”
She also corrected a family member that they were not eating avacado but instead they were eating ‘blocamole’.
When she has gas (which is quite often) she calls it ‘poofing’. She says “Oops, I poofed.”
She calls her father and I by our first names and she yells to him from atop the stairs in the evening when he come home “Hey Doug, how was your day?”
…it’s too funny..
Only one… my littledt daughter always asks her big sister to “sing me to sweep”. Then I hear my older one begin “Jesus Loves Me” only she says “Jesus loves Livvie”.
Wow… lots of fabulous goodies!!
My 5 yr. old dd has a sweet thing she’s started to say… i’ll ask her to clean up or to do something, and she’ll say, “I know, you know, I know”. lol!! Makes me laugh everytime!! Oh.. can I add something else? My 1 1/2 yr old loves nothing better than jumping on the couch when she’s not supposed to stand *or* jump on them… we always put her down on her bottom and say “bum bum!”, so she’ll start jumping on the couch saying “Bum!!! bum!!!!”. lol!!
Carla´s last blog post…Morning ladies!
A little toot & Blog candy anyone?
Oh my, I could write a book of cute things!
My amazing little 4 month old is just starting to laugh, which is an instant stress reliever. My 2 and 1/2 year old is pretty much the coolest kid ever, and everything he does is cute (except putting things in the toilet!). One of my favorite things that he does is that he ALWAYS has to have a notebook to carry around because he always find “Blues Clues” wherever we go, so he has to put it in his “Hannie Dannie bopbook!!” I would love to win this, I’m crossing my fingers-my sweet little guys would love it all!
Becky´s last blog post…Ughhh…
On of my favorite things that my 2 y/o daughter says right now is: when something is upside down, she asks you to make it “upside up!” It actually makes more sense than the “correct” way.
There are so many cute things that it’s hard to choose one though. Thanks for a great giveaway!

PsychMamma´s last blog post…My New Mirror
My 3 year old was in the car with Grandma when she had some difficulty backing up out of the driveway. He then said, “Memaw, are you sure you know how to drive?”.
When my husband leaves for work in the mornings, as shes saying goodbye, my 3.5yr old goes thru this routine of hand signs with Daddy. First is a wave goodbye, then the ASL sign for I Love You, then two fingers up for Peace, then, to show school spirit equally, she shows us the horns (UTxAustin), the roadrunner (UTxSA), and ‘guns up’ (TxTech). It’s so cute. A little OCD, but cute nonetheless.
Eryn´s last blog post…supermom’s phone and printer needs
My 3 yr old, Evan, loves to pray! I’m blessed for this and it ALWAYS makes for interesting conversations with God (not to mention an eye opening experience for mom & dad). The other night Evan was praying and he added at the end, “and please help my not put my hands in my pants”??!! HHMMMM
Our 2 year old, Kini, says” I bub boo” for I love you! It warms my heart every time!
What a great giveaway! The cutest thing my little one does right now is say “please” and “thank you” including signs. Adorable.
We can always tell when our six-month daughter is tired, because she puts both of her hands behind her head in the “ah, this is the life” pose. One day she was playing in her exersaucer, and I looked over to see her sitting there with her hands behind her head! Definitely time for a snooze!
My daughter came to me this morning with the turkey baster, and the bulb part had come off. She said, “Mama, this came into parts!”
Alexis´s last blog post…Early Thanksgiving Morning Miscellany
This pack looks like a lot of fun
My kids say funny things all the time. It’s just hard to remember them. My daughter who is 3 was shouting ebra (Arriba) on the potty the other day. I think she learned it from Dora.
My 17 month old is so adorable jabbering on her play phone and my 3 week old smiled at me this wee, that was pretty cute!
What a wonderful packed giveaway!
My oldest tells me “You are my favorite Mommy” whenever I tell him that he’s my favorite Sam. It makes my heart smile every time he says it.
Heather G´s last blog post…"No Whammy!"
Oh what a lovely basket of goodies!
My oldest will be 4 next week and when I recently asked him if I could take his photo with his baby brother he said in a most serious voice:
“Sure mom, when it’s fourty-o’clock.”
Gotta love kids
Angie´s last blog post…Thankful for friends.
My 3 year old always calls dessert- bessert and when something is ruined it’s really ruint. I know I should probably correct her, but it cracks me up.
Candace (Mama Mia)´s last blog post…Give thanks
My daughter, who is not quite 1.5 yet, tells me “No, no, no” when I do something that she thinks I shouldn’t have done. I never let her see me laugh, and I tell her that she can’t talk to Momma like that, but to hear her say it makes me laugh riotously every time (in my head).
I also Tweeted. @Feelslikehom
Tara @ Feels like home´s last blog post…Pomegranates
When it’s a good snowfall outside, My 4 year old says, “It’s snowing like it’s Christmas.” He has also observed that “Mommy only lays one person at a time” (He’s referring to childbirth). When my 18 month old wants candy or anything really sweet he poinmts to it and makes a “nya” sound followed by a toungue click.
Even though he can say “Da-da”, my 16-month-old boy calls his Daddy “Tat-tat” and the name has stuck! DH even refers to himself as Tat-tat at work, lol. Thanks for the chance to win!
my little guy is only 2 months old, so his tricks are limited. but my favorite is when he’s “standing” on daddy’s lap, and daddy swings his legs around and makes kung-fu sounds and moves…
My two are 4 and 7. I’m entering this giveaway for my dear friend who is expecting her first baby-what a great gift to give her.
My 7 year old says rerase instead of erase. I don’t correct her because it’s just one more thing that slips away as they grow up so fast!
Paula, Stuff 2b Organized´s last blog post…What is the Only Thing I am Asking for This Year? A Butler Bag
The cutest thing was just yesterday when my 3 year old grandson came on the phone and sang me the entire alphabet song. I was totally shocked! He was born 3 months premature and has so many medical problems always getting poked and prodded by the doctors and nurses yet he is always so happy. Yet to hear him sing that song was pure joy. He sounded so cute. Thank you!
He’s grown out of this pronunciation, but my son used to say:
“I sisa waka you.”
Translation: I want to sit on your lap.
He would usually say it as he was climbing onto my lap for a cuddle.
It’s so sad when they grow out of their baby ways of saying things. More than little toes, or sleepers or tiny shoes, I miss the way little ones talk.
What a fab giveaway! I have a 16-month-old, so he’s really into “dipping” his food right now. Doesn’t matter what it is–as long as he can dip it into something, he will eat it! Even the hottest salsa at the Mexican restaurant!!
i have several little ones so i’ll just pick a recent thing- my 3 month old son has started talking in his sleep! not cooing but mumbling! we hold the phone up so grandma far away can hear too. my husband and other 6 kids all talk in their sleep so i figure it’s genetic lol

My 2 year old has recently started feeding his money by holding him in the nursing position like how momma feeds the baby.
Shannon´s last blog post…Thankful…
Hi! Thanks for the contest and this wonderful website!
My oldest, who is 3, wakes up each and every morning with a big smile and hug and says to me, “Good morning, sunshine! I love you, Mommy!”. It’s the sweetest thing and it warms my heart each morning to see his bright face.
Sarah´s last blog post…Happy Thanksgiving!
Just put up a blog about this
My 19mo just discovered thank you, and now he loves to say “thank you,” and hear me say “you’re welcome” over and over and over for any or no reason.
What an incredible giveaway! Since we don’t have kids, I would have too much fun passing on each item to different friends, each to whoever would most appreciate it.
Recently at a friends’ house, their 1 year old figured out how to open up the seat of a plastic scooter toy. He opened and closed the lid, putting in and removing a ball, several dozen times. Each time he jabbered, “Whehz da baaaa?” (translation “where’s the ball?!”) Afterwards when someone marveled at how entertained he was by the lid of a scooter seat, my husband remarked that the truly funny thing was how half a dozen adults were entertained by him by opening and closing the seat lid!
lizzykristine @ Uplifted Eyes´s last blog post…7 Quick Takes
My four year old daughter heaved a big sigh one morning, so big that I looked up from my work and asked, “What’s wrong, baby?”
“I miss God,” she replied.
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“I used to see Him all the time when he was making me, but now I don’t see Him so much any more.”

Ivana, one of our 4 year old granddaughters calls the chicken coop a chicken booth. We call her our chicken chaser.
lylah ledner´s last blog post…you get only one guess
Well. . .how can I possibly only mention ONE cute thing my little Henry (8 months) does??? He’s taken to only wanting his daddy once he gets home from work, he loves to be on the bed when you’re making it (and to help fluff and straighten the sheets), he makes the sweetest little cooing sounds, he loves to be kissed over and over on his forhead and back of his head, he makes little oh’s with his mouth and then giggles adorably when you do it back. . .
Sorry, I guess you really did ask for only one cute thing. . .
I hope I win!!!

Vanessa van der Meer´s last blog post…Remembrance Day
While babysitting some of my friends boys (at the time were ages 6 and 4), I asked them if they would like to go sledding. The oldest said “No thanks, but my dad will be home soon, he can take you sledding when he gets home.” It was the cutest and funniest response! My friends are raising thoughtful little boys
I have a 3 yr old little girl who is ALWAYS eating, unlike her 4 yr old brother who NEVER eats. It is pretty adorable to us, because she looks at us innocently at the kitchen table WAITING patiently for her food, And she blurts out the word “poo”. At first we had no clue what she was saying until finally we realized that she was saying “spoon”. So now everyday she says it knowing that it will make us crack up.

So cute!
tuesday´s last blog post…Happy Thanksgiving * Now With More Giveaways!
We found out my sister-in-law is pregnant with #3 yesterday (Thanksgiving Day). When we told my daughter (age two) we said Auntie is going to have a baby and she said, “for me?” She then asked if she was going to get the baby at the grocery store. She is very puzzled over the whole thing.
My son, age 4, is in love with Buzz Lightyear. When he is playing he will put his arms out straight in front of him and say, “to infipipi and yeyon.” (To Infinity and Beyond.)
My son likes to call other people by his name, which is pretty cute.
I baked oatmeal butterscotch cookies the other day. When my son was eating one, he wandered up to me, looking at his cookie. “Are there carrots in this?” “No” “Is it cheese?” “No – son, what are you talking about?” “I see something orange in my cookie…”
So funny, he’s sure I’m constantly sneaking healthy food into his treats! :0) (Which is fair, because usually, I am!)
Wow, I would love to win this pack…some great giveaways!
Well in Sept my 2yo daughter moved up from the nursery to sunday school at our church…now every sunday when we are getting ready to go to church…she says, “yes, i get to go and sing about Jesus and pray!” She also asks us to pray when we put her down for a nap and at night time….out of the mouths of babes….:)
shirley rempel´s last blog post…My Favorite Christmas Music
When people say “she’s so cute I could just eat her” about my daughter, her older brother always says “you can’t eat her, she’s people!”
Ellen´s last blog post…Thankful
Early yesterday morning (yes, Thanksgiving Day) we took my little guy to the ER. He’s 9 months. He was such a trooper as the doctor checked him out, at one point he looked up at me and smiled. It melted my heart, it was like he was saying, “I’m okay, mom”. Although we didn’t get home until 4am, I’m thankful he was okay (dr says the croup).
Jen B´s last blog post…Shopping Tragedy
Whenever we say something contradictory to what my three year old feels, he puts his hands on his hips and emphatically says, “Yes I ARE!”
My 7 month old is the cutest, sweetest baby ever! She is learning to do so many things right now. If I had to pick one thing, it is when she sucks on her little lips! It is the cutest thing ever and she does it all the time. I love it!
I’m blogging about your giveaway right now!!!! I hope I win!!!
mary p´s last blog post…Happy Thanksgiving!
i hope i win, too. this is a great basket! hmm…our toddler beatrice is a constant source of cuteness and humor (at least to my husband and i). one thing that she does that is really funny is she mimicks the toungue motion of our dog. she does not talk yet but when we ask, “how does the dog kiss” she pushes her tounge in and out of her mouth just like our dog barry! it’s hilarious.
The cutest thing my 3 year old ever did was during my pregnancy. I had a very hard 2nd pregnancy and was constantly holding my belly, and I guess I complained quite a bit about the baby kicking. It got to the point where my son would come sit next to me, and hold his belly too saying “ooooohhh, my belly hurts – the baby’s kicking sooooo hard”. The first time he said that I laughed so hard I cried. It made me smile and realize what a wonderful little boy I had!
*I twittered about this fantastic giveaway
our little guy (2) says ‘i hold you’ with arms upstretched when he’s ready for you to pick him up – totally loving it!
jodi´s last blog post…Take the Challenge?
The cutest thing my son does lately is refer to the Incredible Hulk as the “Terrible Honk”.
After almost two years of being photographed almost daily, my daughter has finally mastered the art of smiling on command for a photo. The only problem is that she is also senstive to light and flashes so every photo now features her smiling with her eyes tightly closed. Still cute but also funny
Debbie C´s last blog post…Thankful
What an awesome giveaway! My six year old just made me laugh when he was recently writing out a list of things he was thankful for. One of them was his ” two bros” which surprised me because he usually tries to sound things phonetically, at least. I asked him why he spelled it like that and he said because of Mario Bros! Too much nintendo, maybe?
My little princess has a bit of a lisp- when we’re out and holding hands in a line, her favorite thing to say is, “wook mommy, we’re just wike a fanniwee.” Translated- look mommy, we’re just like a family!!
Thanks for the great giveaway!!
Jenn W´s last blog post…Financial Freedom Giveaway
Great giveaway!
I guess you only want us to tell you ONE cute thing our little ones say? My current favorite is my 2yo says calls her pee “peep”… “I went peep in my diaper.”
Thank you!
Mandi´s last blog post…Some hope…
My little guy calls Santa “Ho Ho”. Anytime we see something in a red and white suit he yells out “Ho Ho”! So cute!
My oldest (3 1/2) has decided to change the words from Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to “Ribbit Ribbit Little Frog, How I see you on a log”. I crack up…especially when she add her jumping frog part to the song.
DD (21mos) has started to say “okay” for any positive answer.
Julia, do you want to go outside? “Okay”
Julia screams: “juice, juice, juice!” we respond: “You’d like some juice?” Julia, in a very calm tone: “okay” as if we’d never heard her screaming.
Us: “do you like Stella (the new lab)” Julia: “okay”
We have a silly girl. And I don’t have a blog, or twitter account, so this is my one shot!
Thanks for your insights!
~Claire
Currently my three year old loves to tell me things are an accident. If she does something she knows she’s not supposed to, she always says, “Don’t worry mommy, it was an accident and accidents happen.” I guess that’s what I get for telling her accident’s happen when we were potty training.
What a great giveaway!
My current favorites are my 2.5 yo says “peep” instead of “pee”, “I went peep in my diaper.” And my 1 yo says “balalala” for “banana.” My 4 yo pretty much keeps us laughing all the time. Yesterday she stayed the night at my mom’s, but I was a little worried because she had an upset stomach. A couple hours after we left, she said, “I think we better call mom and tell her everything’s going to be all right.”
Thanks, and I tweeted you too (@DoodlesPlace).
Mandi´s last blog post…Some hope…
After drilling my 2 and a half year old nephew about what’s in his own mommy’s tummy (his baby brother due January 2009), I finally have him trained on the difference between siblings and cousins (in anticipation of the birth of our first in March 2009). When I ask him what’s in mommy’s tummy, he replies, “A baby.” When asked what kind, he replies, “A regular baby.” When asked what’s in Aunt Rachel’s tummy, he replies, “A cousin baby.” Too sweet–I guess babies come in all forms including regular and cousin….
My kids say SO many funny things. My fav story is when my youngest was VERY attached to his sippy cup. It was his security blanket…er, sippy?
On a long road trip out to Texas my husband excitedly told the children, “Look guys, once we’re over this river we’ll be in Mississippi!” At this point my youngest began wailing in near hysterics. Finally he calmed down enough to choke out between sobs, “It’s NOT Mrs. Sippy…. It’s MY sippy!!!!!!!!!”
I’m happy to report we did not drive off the road laughing… but it was a close call. Of course the little one was NOT amused that we were laughing either which prompted MORE tears. Eventually he calmed down and all was well.
R Lander´s last blog post…Giving thanks…
My 18 month old daughter loves to look at books with us. When she wants us to read with her she plops down on the floor with her book, pats the floor next to her and says very seriously, “Dow!” How could we not sit down and enjoy that book with our cutie?
What an amazing giveaway! Ok here are a couple of things – she calls our dog ‘Ford’ instead of his name “Clifford” We hear her calling “Ford” all over the house
When she thinks we should be leaving someplace, she yells ‘bye’ as loud as she can. She is 18 months old so it is all still quite precious 
Carmen´s last blog post…From the mouths of babes & Art 101
I still look pregnant. I told her that when you have a baby your tummy stretches and it takes some time to get back to normal. My son pipes up and says, Mom that was six months ago and that’s half a year and that’s a long time.
Nice. Thanks son.
I’ve blogged about the giveaway on my blog.
At 4 m0nths old, my son is constantly blowing raspberries. Even his cries are punctuated with “pbbthbthb”. Naturally I find this adorable!
My daughter loves to pretend she has coffee and it’s hot hot, she is 23 months old. It’s hilarious.

Just this morning my two year old son asked for his fan (small battery powered) while he was sitting in his highchair for breakfast…when I gave it to him, he started fanning his oatmeal and told me “too hot!”. Too Cute!
Thanks again, Simple Mom for such generous giveways!
There are tons of cute things my kids say, cause, of course, they are the cutest little muffins IN THE WORLD. My favorite thing though is how my six year old says theaters. VIDE-ERS. I love, love, love it!
Great giveaway!!!
Mrs. F´s last blog post…You Are A Boob
My three-year-old (only child) gives her baby doll pretend food, dresses her warmly if it is cold out, and even carried around a bowl for the doll to “throw up” in one day.
After I had made lunch, my 3 yr old daughter told me “Mommy, you are such a good maker!”… melted my heart!
Great giveaway!
What a fantastic giveaway! The funny things my daughter says keep me laughing all day long! The other day when we I told her we were going to a restaurant for dinner she said, “Oh my wonderful!”
kate´s last blog post…Happy Thanksgiving!
For my first entry: I am 22 wks pregnant with our first, so I will tell something my sweet nephew does. He just turned 3 and is one cuddly guy. I get to spend a lot of time with him and he has been doing this for the past year. Whenever it’s time for his nap he will say “ok come on Aunt Laura lets go lay down” Without a doubt whenever I am there he will do this and then when we lay down he will just put his little arm around me and pat my back or rub my head. It is just the sweetest thing! Makes my heart melt every time. Even though I will sneak out once he is asleep, it makes his day, and mine
For my second entry I blogged about this giveaway

Laura´s last blog post…Great Giveaway
My 18 month old has just learned to say Hooray, but says it “OOOH-AY” and punches his little fist in the air with the biggest grin you’ve ever seen.
What a great giveaway! I have a 2 year old and a six month old. My 2 year old makes us laugh all the time. Her Daddy plays the guitar and whenever he gets his out, she gets out her play guitar too so she can play with Daddy. It doesn’t seem to matter what song he’s singing, she always sings “Yeeeees Jesus loves meeeeeee!” as she strums away on her guitar!
My little one finally can get her big toe in her mouth. She’s been working on this skill for several weeks and just mastered it. It’s the little things…that’s what is so cool about having a child. The simple little things provide great amounts of joy!
Jan´s last blog post…I love spending less!
My 10-month-old said her first word last week… “uh-oh.”
We thought it was a mistake, but now she says it anytime anything drops to the floor… She’ll throw her pacifier out of the crib and yell “uh-oh” and even looked at a stranger in the grocery store when they dropped a box of pasta… “uh-oh.”
We still can’t believe she learned “uh-oh” before “mama” or “dada”!!
Oh, how to choose just one?!?!
OK, my daughter is 16 months old, and she loves to squeeze our nose and say “honk, honk.” It’s really cute.

My 8 month old is just learning how to play peek-a-boo with me. She will bring a blanket or toy over her face and lay perfectly still until some asks “where is Emma”. Then she moves the blanket and squeals when you say “there she is!!”.
I have a 3 year old who has a few good bedtime excuses: “Quarterbacks do not brush their teeth” and for not having to go to sleep in HIS room, “There is not enough air in there.” Hmmm…I’ll have to note oxygen on the grocery list for the next trip.
Well, can I get an entry for a “cute” thing that is a little risque?? My 3 year old was inquiring about pubic hair and asked “Mommy, how come the hair dresser doesn’t cut that hair??”
*Ahem*
My 10 month old son can say “Hi Daadee” when my husband walks in the door. Just priceless!!
Thumper should be making his/her grand entrance in 8 weeks (or 10 at the most). His/her favorite thing to do is kick Daddy in the head when my husband puts his head down near my belly. I don’t know if it’s the sound of his voice, but something certainly sets the child off.
If I don’t win, I have to get one of those Giraffe onesies. Between my husband and I our kid is guaranteed to be tall (already is according to the last ultrasound).
My little one has done two new sign-language signs this week- food and all done!

I have 2 grandsons, ages 2 years and 2 months. I also have a great niece who is 11 months old so I have lots of cute things going on around all the time!
But, the cutest thing, I think, is that my 2 year old grandson says “Oh, okay” for “yes”. For instance, he could be crying over something and when we try to redirect his attention to something else, he immediately stops crying and says “oh, okay”. It’s so cute, and his little voice is just so sweet.
Okay one more thing: I love it when I walk into his house and he says, very excitedly, “HI Nana!”
I could go on and on, but I’ll stop!
Thanks for the opportunity! I hope I win for those 3 great kids!

Oh, there are so many…
Last year my then 4 year old said “Mommy, you make my heart feel like a diamond”.
And my 2 year old says “oh my goodness” or “goodness gracious” and it just melts my heart.
What a wonderful giveaway!
Right now my boys (5 + 3) are loving Peter Pan – the most recent live action version. They make swords out of everything they can find, from carrots to my spatulas and mixing spoons, and re-enact scenes from the movie. My 3 y.o. is usually Hook. So much fun.
The other day I forgot to turn the baby monitor off before going up to get my 23 month old when he awoke from his nap. When we came downstairs it was buzzing away, I turned it off and my son said “turn mommy’s music ON!” Great selection of music I listen to, right!?
Thanks for the giveaway – all items are fabulous. I hope I win.
My middle daughter, who just turned three, puts her hands on her hips and says “Well, actually…” when she starts talking about something.

My Girlie has just started singing & making up songs with words. Her favorite right now is, “Happy day…happy day…happy day!” It makes me smile!

My 15 month old daughter…how she entertains me! It’s hard to narrow it down to one thing…just this morning she was sitting with her Daddy on the futon, playing Playstation. She has her own control (not hooked up!) to be just like Daddy…two peas in a pod!!!!

My little guy is only four months old and can’t talk, sit, or roll over yet. But he does have his little way of talking – and it always sounds Really Important! I posted a video on my blog for the relatives a while back:

Super cute! Well, to me, anyway. I also love his little laughs (but who doesn’t like baby laughs?).

What an awesome giveaway full of things my baby would love in his stocking! My 4 year old daughter is always saying cute things, like heartbeep instead of heartbeat and pinktails instead of pigtails. My baby boy has just learned how to wrinkle his nose, and he does it all the time! Too cute!
Gina´s last blog post…Meme
My 13 month old loves to drop things from her high chair. Except right before she lets them go she looks at us quite earnestly and says “Uh Oh…” As if to let us know she’s really going to do it. Too cute. Although what doesn’t she do that’s cute?
Thanks for the great giveaway!
murphys(at)rowan(dot)edu
So many cute things my 20 month old does… I just don’t know which one to choose!! Her latest thing is to say “Cuuu-ute!” whenever she sees something she likes. It has caused me to buy many new outfits for her. Neither of us can resist something “Cuuu-ute”
Claire´s last blog post…From the Archives
My son used to think eleven was a huge number, so if he wanted to indicate that he wanted a whole lot of something, he’d say, “Mom, I want BUNCHES of elevens!”
My Maddie likes to eat “girl cheese sandwiches” instead of “grilled cheese” and insists that boys aren’t allowed to eat them!
Something cute that my baby does is he poots everytime I peep in the leg of his diaper to see if he is clean and my niece is so cute because she is always doing the itsy bitsy spider with her hands and she isn’t even singing,she just likes the part you do with your hands!
WOW! What a giveaway!
My daughter is just beginning to talk, so everything she says is a treasure to me. The other day I was laying down with her so she would fall asleep for her nap. She rubbed my forehead and said “Mommy close eyes.” I guess she wanted some company during her nap!

My nine month old is on the chubby side. Everyone is calling him by a food, I guess it’s because Thanksgiving is on their mind. He’s been called a stick of butter, yummy delight and of course a Butterball! He’s still taught himself to stand on his own for about a minute even though he’s chubby.

Keilah´s last blog post…December 3 is Giveaway Day!!
What a fantastic giveaway!
One thing my 3 year old says after dinner is, “Mom, will you do service for me?” when he wants me to clear his plate. How can I say no to that?! I really love it when he says, “Mom, I will do service for you.” and clears my plate!
Each of my kids has had a different word for banana. 2 yr. old Ellie says “bana,” 3 yr. old Ben just recently stopped saying “buh-bana,” and 5 yr. old Will USED to say “manna.” I’m sad when they start saying the correct word.

Thanks for the give-away. I love reading your blog!
My husband works quite long hours and so sometimes it feels like he isn’t here very much. He is currently at home for a month and my son told his teacher that he was the “luckiest boy in town because his dad is home for Christmas.” It’s amazing the things kids say that really explain what is going on in their hearts.
Amanda´s last blog post…handmade holidays
My 9 month old son recently started trying to wrestle my husband if he is lying on the floor near him. My son crawls over and throws himself on my husband repeatedly and giggles. Very cute!
Fox’s way of saying he wants to be held is to say “I wanna hold you” instead of “Hold me” – it is so funny!
Oh, it’s hard to choose just one cute thing my kids do or say. The first thing that came to my mind is my daughter says O-Tay instead of okay. I love it! My 16 month old waves his hand when he wants to say Yes- his own little sign language. I could go on forever…
Thanks for the chance!
Amber´s last blog post…Thankful
Mine says “Ah jeeez” in a really loud voice.
My littlest one still uses many of his own words for things. The stairs, for instance, are “bumpity,” as in, “bumpity, bumpity down the stairs.” If he wants to go up or down stairs, he says, “Me Bumpity!”

I love when my baby smiles! He’s only 6 weeks old, so most of them are probably not on purpose, but it’s still too cute!!!
Tweeted
Don’t know how cute it is… but it makes us laugh every time… my 4-year-old learned all about the pres. candidates at school and was telling his little brother (almost 2) all the scoop. Well, now every *single* time we see Barack Obama or here his name on the radio… the little guy gets soooooo excited and jumps up and down and yells “Grock Omama, mama!! Grock O-ma-ma, mama!!”
My son isn’t speaking yet, but he’s certainly isn’t lacking in the cute category! After a while of rigorous play, he slumps against the nearest object that will support his weight and acts as though he’s completely worn out. Just taking a break for the next round….
My son (he’s almost 3) likes to go to ‘Home Deep-toh’ with his daddy. He calls Snoopy “Noofy” and he used to call his paci his “bapsee”.

Great giveaway! Everything my 2-year-old son does and says is so cute to me right now. He’s just at that super-cute age. His latest “cute-ism” is walking around the house bellowing the song “Mr. Turkey” at the top of his lungs.
My almost 2 year old daughter is so funny. Sometimes when she is in trouble she looks at me and says “Hug, You need a hug.” How can you be upset with that.
Every morning I can tell when my oldest (22 months) wakes up because she looks over at her (9 months) brother’s crib and yells, “HI DAT!!!” (His name is Dax) I love that she’s so excited to see him.

My DS is big on trucks – so he’s constantly walking around making truck sounds like he’s starting the engine or backing up. He really gets into it too!
My son carries on full conversations with his picture of his daddy. (Daddy is overseas right now and calls are infrequent) He will talk and then pause and then talk some more like Daddy is really answering him. Sad, but sweet.
Thanks for the great giveaway!

Today as we were getting out the Christmas ornaments, I was telling our son how the ornaments are not toys, they are just too look at. He always says he is just tending. So, today he said, “I’m just tending they are toys, okay mom?” And of course, he was playing with them.

My daughter doesn’t say much yet, but I am a daycare teacher. One of my little girls was swinging around a pole on the play ground and shouting, “It’s a miracle! Look Ms. Emily, it’s a miracle!” She was trying to say merry-go-round.
My youngest says that “Santa” is going to catch our new baby…who is due around Christmas-time.
Gosh – I’d have to say at the current minute – singing. . .well, screaming actually, “Miss Mary Mack” at the top of his lungs. . .all the verses. . .LOL –

My daughter who is 2 1/2 believes she is a princess & wears a princess dress (that is in tattered rags) every single day & when we meet people out & about, she glows when they compliment her outfit & she will twirl & say,
” LOOK AT ME!! I AM A PRINCESS!”
I love the innocence and deep belief that she has that this is true. I wish she could keep it forever.
My almost 3 year old was riding in the car one morning looking out the window, and the moon was still visible, even though the sun was relatively high in the sky. She was confused to the moon and sun both being out together, then she said, ” I know what happened, the sun asked the moon to stay for a donut!” Also, the other day, we were out walking and saw two different people with puppies and she said to me, “I wanted a puppy, but all I got was Molly.” (Molly is her baby sister) We would everything in this giveaway! Thanks for the chance to talk about our cuties!
What a great basket! My little boy who will be 2 in March is a bit behind in his language skills. Everything he says or attempts to say is so cute to me. But what is super sweet is when he is “helping” me put away the silverware, he will get it out of the basket and hand it to me and say thank you which sounds something like “tane too”. He says when he hands me anything he knows he isn’t supposed to have and also when I put him in his high chair to eat.
I LOVE IT!

When my little guy doesn’t want to get up he says “Just a little more cuddle mom”. Melts my heart every time.
Our two year old is constantly taking stock of who is in the house, or car, or wherever we are at. We’ll hear her in the kitchen going, ‘Mommy, Daddy, Deyah (what she calls herself) sometimes adding in the cats or grandmas or friends who aren’t there. When she says their name she quickly follows it with a ‘no!’ and a bout of laughter. Because obviously that’s hilarious!
It’s sweet and I just have to wonder what’s going on in her head!

I have a funny one- when I mad at my older I say I brought you into this world and I can take you out…..one of the others runs to the backdoor and says bye bye..the other looks at me and says he is to big to go back in- he is gonna hurt you…see so kids look and hear things differently
When my daughter was very young, she used to get beginning consonants and syllables mixed up. Here are some of her more memorable words: chock hotlick (hot chocolate), chee cains (key chains), wonderland (underwear), patterkillers (caterpillars), and poo taste (toothpaste)! She cracked us up all the time, and I felt kind of sad when she started saying words correctly.

My 5 mo old son likes to take his pacifier out of his mouth, remove his sock and suck on his toes while using his other leg to keep his bouncy seat bouncing.
My 4 year old always says, “Ha, ha, ha- just don’t you worry about that, momma.” My one year old always smiles impishly and shrugs when you ask her a question.
My littlest, Elijah, only 3 months old, hums as he snuggles in to go to sleep, with each breath out. He seems to do it out of peace, happiness, and security, because it stops when we lay him down in his bed… Love that!

What a fab giveaway! With a 2-year old and one on the way, I’m drooling just scrolling through the goodies.
Lately, my 2yo has seen me pretty sick with morning sickness, and she always pats my head and says “Don’t cry mama, I loooove you!” Just breaks my heart!
Kate´s last blog post…Highland Girl
Today my four year old asked which cloud heaven was on. When I asked why he said he needed to know so he could lasso our dog Teeter-tot and bring her back from heaven.
My little one will dance stop what she is doing and try to dance when she hears music. Although I think she got her dad’s rhythm. She kind of wobbles and sticks her belly out when she is trying to dance.
Our little guy (4 months) smiles and laughs and it is super cute!
When my son son says I’m sorry to my daughter he pats and rubs her head. I think it’s hilarious!
What a great basket!
My little guy (2 years) had a cold last week and his nose was stuffy. He told me “There is a noise in my nose!” He keeps me smiling.
My 9 month old son does the mini “hulk.” He clenches his fists, holds his breath making his face go red, ending in an explosive grunt! I don’t know where (or who) he got it from!
My little man (2 yrs) is always trying to eat off out plates, or whining or various other things. So we tell him he needs to ask. So he always comes back with, “Ask, yeah ask. Foooood? Mease? Okay.” And then he thinks he can grab whatever it was. Cracks me up.

WOW! I would love to win the goodies. I will be a grandma in 4 months and can hardly wait. This will be my first grand child!
I don’t have my own little one, but my nephew is absolutely adorable – so hard to narrow down the cute things he does! He’s such a polite little kid, and I’ve noticed that every time anyone gives him something, wipes his mouth, holds his hand, or just sits with him, he’ll say “Thank You.” It’s so simple, but so sweet to see such a polite little guy (and he’s not even two yet).

My 3-year-old Emily has learned the Zaccheus song in Sunday School. She knows most of the words and the melody and sings it all with great gusto. The second line puzzled us for awhile. She sings it “He climbed up in the sic-him-up (sycamore) tree”. She also wants to be called by whatever name she decides. Right now, that is “Big-Girl-Emily-Elizabeth-Barnes-Doctor-Princess-Mei-Mei (Chinese for little sister).
The cutest thing a little boy in my life does is talk about another little girl as “My Bella.” Her name is Bella. And he talks about her until he sees her and then gets all shy. They are going to be so embarrassed when they grow up!
I have a 4 month-old, and I think just about every little thing she does is cute. (I am a wee bit biased.) I find it funny that she grunts when she poops. It’s too stinkin’ cute – literally.

Even though my daughter is 3 1/2 and can pronounce words correctly she still holds on to her baby pronunciation of the words “lellow” for yellow and “plano” for piano. It’s so sweet and I never correct her because it reminds me that she’s still my baby!
My 2 year old ds likes to repeat my own little mannerisms. His latest thing is that he will say “Ok, Ok, Ok!” when I ask him to do something. Imust say that a lot to him! I just love it though …. it makes him seem so grown up!
I’ve loved reading everyone elses’s stories. We have a bunch of little characters around here!
I hope I win! I just love these products, especially the StrollAway. How HANDY!
I just tweeted about this!
my 18 month old holds her nose and shakes her head when she needs a diaper change
My 2 1/2 year old says, “It’s a disaster in here,” when the house needs to be picked up. I guess he has heard his mommy say it a few times.
My 8 month old is now saying, “Mamamama,” which causes me to beam every time! Love the giveaway! Hope I win!
Pamela´s last blog post…I finally made a decision!
My quite agreeable, 2.5 year old son has started saying “sure”. It sounds more like “ssshhhhhhUUUUUUrrr”. Too cute!
My little gut likes to carry around a sheaf of scrap papers. They are his very ” meportant” working. cute!
My little guy misses his older sister when she’s at school, and she misses him. When we go to pick her up, he excitedly says “i missed you!” and she says it back. Very cute at 2 & 4 years old.
When my 3-year old is sad he says “I hold you” instead of “you hold me”.
My 2 1/2 year old sweet pea amazes me every day with something cute and new to say. Sheesh, I must be reading too many Dr. Seuss books. Anyway…two of my favorite things she says is lasterday for yesterday and yesternight for last night.
A cute thing she does lately is that she knows Mama loves to scrapbook and still does not like to smile for the camera. She is meeting me in the middle by smiling with only her eyes. Yep, her mouth stays straight and her eyes squint up a smile. Too funny!
We are just starting the simplicity process and think you have picked wonderful items for your give away!

We are within 3 weeks of a new baby brother being born. My 3 yr old son asks to “sit next to” his brother. So, I’ll sit down, he’ll pull my shirt above my belly, and the he’ll lay his arm across “his brother” and gently pat him with his hand. My husband saw it for the first time last night and melted.

My 2 year old wakes up early and always wants to wake everyone else up, with “Morning Sunshine!” She will ask to wake her baby sister up with “morning sunshine?” My answer is usually “No!” Let the baby sleep
She is also very excited about Christmas and will dance around saying “Mismis, Mismis!”

My favorite thing that my twin 19 month old boys are doing right now is singing. They sing some recognizable songs and I love to hear them sing about Jesus’ love for them but I also thoroughly enjoy when they sing, in their sweet voices, songs that they have made up. It truly makes my day and reminds me how blessed I am to be a mommy.
Becky´s last blog post…Contentment
All of my children have always said “Hold you!” when they want to be held. It’s so precious. I was distraught when my five year old stopped saying it. There are so many other things, but that’s the first thing that popped into my head.
My 3 1/2 yr old nephew recently saw a mini-van in a parking lot and told his mom that he wanted one. My sister-in-law, ever the simple mom, explained that since they only had 2 kids, they didn’t need one. At Thanksgiving dinner yesterday, my nephew announces that his mommy is going to have 2 more babies, Toodles and Kiki, and that they’ll then get a mini-van. When pressed further about the babies, he sighed with exasperation and replied, “Ugh! We don’t have them now, because Mommy hasn’t cooked them yet!
I was driving with my three year old in the backseat when I driver cut me off. I bit my tongue trying not to swear and instead said, “What a turkey!” and my three year old said, “Where, mommy, where is the turkey?” He really truly thought that there was a Thanksgiving turkey in the road!
My two year olds think that their Daddy lives in the computer because we chat with him via Skype while he’s in Iraq. The other day one of them asked where I had gone and my friend in the other room with the girls said I was on the computer. My sweet Maggie said, “Oh, she’s gone to get Daddy out?!?” Too funny!

shannon´s last blog post…For Grandma and Aunt Michelle
The girl has loved books since she first saw one when she was a few days old. We read every night when she was a baby, and read every night now. Today she asked, “Where is that adult Bible that you have? I’m going to read it when I get home.” I tried to explain that it was a hard book, that I’d been reading it for years and hadn’t read all of it yet, but she was undeterred. And she’s sitting on her bed reading it now (she’s 7). I don’t need to win, but it would be great to have a cache of shower presents in the house.
Im a simplenana and EVERYTHING my too little girlies do is adorable!
I cant wait to win this so I can give give give it all away! thanks ahead of time!
My little one has 8 weeks to go before his long anticipated arrival but our favorite game is to give my belly a push when he’s kicking and feeling him push back. Its amazing being pregnant, I can’t wait to meet him!!
My 10-month old makes this clacking noise with his tongue, and right after he does it he giggles, he literally makes himself burst into laughter.

Our little grandson calls all dogs “Buddy” since that is the name of our dog. It is the clearest word that he can pronounce.
My little girl is almost two and has a thing for closing doors, drawers and cabinets. If there is one open she has to shut it right then. My little boy who is 6 months loves it when you rub his ears, every time I do it his eyes get very heavy and he starts to fall asleep. It it too cute.

What a great basket-the perfect gift for my dear friend who is, at long last 6 months pregnant.
My 2 1/2 year old guy says “popastickle” instead of popsicle which is so funny. But the sweetest thing he does is this- when he wants to give me a kiss he says “move your nose?” and I have to move my nose a little so he has a clear shot to my lips. SO sweet.
My 2 year old is having a hard time potty training. When we put him on the potty he says ” Mo Poop”. I guess he doesn’t want to poop in there. I am sure it is pretty scary sometimes.

Phew! Finally hit publish on today’s giveaway… http://is.gd/9oxO
My 6 month old daughter has just found her feet, so they are the most interesting thing in the world right now. It’s so cute!
What a wonderful array of prizes! Thank you for the opportunity to enter this giveaway. I’m really excited! My two daughters (two, and four months) really like to “play” together. Their favorite game involves my toddler bouncing on my bed while the baby lies there and watches. The first time we heard our 4mo laugh was while her sister bounced for her. They both light up when they are with each other–it really makes my heart feel good! I have three brothers, so I love seeing the two of them enjoy each others company.
My 1 year old doesn’t see her dad very much as he works from home for 2-3 months at a time. However her highchair faces some pictures of us on the wall and she always says Dada! when eating (also while walking past them carrying her). So after wards I have to bring her over to the wall and point him out to her as she says dada about 10 more times. It’s been about 2 1/2 months since she’s seen him, too.
My little one has learned to “kinda” say I LOVE YOU and then blow a kiss. She does it to everyone who comes up to her while I’m holding her!
I can’t tell you how what she does is better than any medicine. It leaves everyone she talks to in a better mood!
My 1 year old doesn’t see her dad very much as he works from home for 2-3 months at a time. Her highchair faces a wall that has several photos on it of us, and she’ll say Dada! while eating and also while I’m carrying her past them. Then I have to hold her up by them and point out Dada to her while she grins and says it again about 10 times. He’s been gone for about 2 11/2 months now, yet several times a day she does this.
Sorry about the double post – I thought I deleted it accidentally!
My 4 year old says “I love you Mommy and I like to go to your work and you are better than everyone.”
My 16 month old says “Agua, agua, agua, agua. No! Juz!”
Marketing Mommy´s last blog post…On the Thankgiving menu
My sister-in-law is pregnant…with her fourth child. She sent me this email the other day and I thought I would share part of it…my nieces are absolutely hilarious…
“It all began when Eve ate of the forbidden fruit and God put a curse on all women during child bearing and labor. . . Here I am, sick as a dog (which Emma [the eldest child, 6 y.o.] told me to go outside and eat some grass because it helps dogs when they’re sick so it might help me too!). I’m sick all day long, can’t keep much of anything down, I’m tired, moody, whiny, I’m just so delightful to be around. Last night, Scott [husband] was home and I got sick. Well, all of the girls think it’s a show and they all come to watch, like I really want an audience when I’m puking my guts out. So, Scott comes and gets them all out. I lay in bed and Isabella [3 y.o.] comes in and asks me what’s wrong. I told her I just felt sick. She grabs her stomach, and with a sick look on her face (she must’ve been copying what I looked like) she tells me she does not feel good. She then goes to the bathroom, lifts up the toilet lid, bends over and spits in the toilet. She looks up at me and says, ‘I feel much better now!’ AAAHHHHH, how I wish it was that easy!”
Kids do say the darnedest things! This basket would definitely be great for my much deserving sister-in-law.
My 2 1/2 year old son loves to announce most of his accomplishments by yelling, “Mommy, I did it!” Too cute.
@simplemom is giving away a huge gift basket for kids. Go look! http://is.gd/9oxO
My 12 month old daughter crawls around on the floor and roars like a lion. This must be something she learned from her big brother but they do this together and each one tries to be louder than the other!
What a great goodie basket!
My 1.5 yr old has taken to answering most questions with “I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know” or “yup”. So stinkin cute. My four year comes out with amazing things all the time, recently my husbands Grandma passed away and she asked us “If she went to heaven, why is everyone so sad?” Blew me away.
Michelle´s last blog post…Art will take you places.
What a great giveaway! My daughter would have said that your secret code giveaway gave you a “heady-ache”. Oh well, I think it’s cute!
My three-year-old is a chatterbox with a wide vocabulary, but he often has his own way of saying things. I guess it’s our fault as parents for not correcting him, but it’s so darn cute. Some of the things he says are: hotel = “ho-en-tel”, oatmeal = “open-meal”, cranberries = “red raisins”, raviolis used to be called “holy-colies”… those are just a few I can remember off the top of my head. I guess I should write them down before I forget them. I would love to win this as we are expecting our 2nd child in July and will have uses for everything!
I taught my friends little girl to say “Obama!” right around the election time – on her own she started saying “Gobama” and rolling “Go Obama!” into one word. Her father, a strong McCain fan, wasn’t so thrilled – I tried to teach her “Go McCain!” too – but it didnt roll off the tongue as well
Megan´s last blog post…Hiatus
My 3 y.o. has just started saying “I can’t I’ve got two hands”, if he has his hands full when you ask him a question. Hilarious, but it doesn’t help me get an answer to my question.
My little one thinks that if someone looks at the ceiling then at her it is hilarious. Every time.
My husband and I trade off putting our son to bed each night. He will ask us during the day “Are you going to night me in tonight?”. It is so sweet.
http://tinyurl.com/5k4lj2 I’m loving this giveaway by simplemom! Visit and see!
My first little one is due in 3 weeks – so the cutest thing she does right now is try to tickle me by sticking her toes under my ribs!
My 5 /2 month old has become quite the flirt. He’s constantly grabbing your attention and then hiding his head in the chest of whomever is carrying him. It’s too cute.

Well, I’ve got three little ones 5 and under, and they do lots of cute things! But the one I’ll miss the most years from now is when my baby, about to turn one, “kisses” me. Yes, his mouth is almost always open, and his tongue is often out. But baby drool never hurt anybody.
Jen G´s last blog post…
when my oldest daughter was little she would tell us “i want pizzy” now she’s almost 16 and each evening she asks “whats for dinner?”
my second oldest used to say “hold you me” now she just gives me big hugs.
my youngest daughter is still so sweet and innocent. she gently rubs my back (my favorite every)
my youngest loves for me to rub his ear when he’s tired. it always puts him to sleep.
I’ve been so blessed. I have an amazing husband and four beautiful children.
thank you for the wonderful giveaway :
missy´s last blog post…Happy Thanksgiving
My just-turned 3 year old girl said to me just the other day in the car” Mom your cool, wanna break some rules?” I couldn’t believe it, we don’t watch TV( but she has seen some videos) and she goes to a Christian daycare twice a week…not too sure where she got it. She also corrected a family member last week, they weren’t eating avacado they were eating ‘blocamole’. When she has gas she calls it poofing! She also calls her father and I by our given names which I think is funny. Her dad comes home and she yells downstairs ” Hey Doug, how was your day” …..Too funny that girl.
I have 3 Littles, but my youngest little person at 18 months is just starting to talk. Anytime she can’t see her big brother she walks around the house asking, “Ere’s Butter?” (where’s Brother) and looks under the couch, behind the door, etc to find him. We think its’ really cute and it makes us all laugh.
Great giveaway!
Clara´s last blog post…How we celebrated
My just turned 3 year old girl said to me “Mom your cool, do you want to go break some rules.” She also corrected a family member that they were not eating avacado but instead they were eating ‘blocamole’
When she has gas ( which is quite often) she calls it ‘poofing’.
She calls her father and I by our first names and she yells to him every evening when he come homes from atop the stairs “Hey Doug, how was your day?” …She’s too funny..
Though my daughter doesn’t have many words, she is constantly vocalizing her own sounds to the tune of “twinkle twinkle little star” and “frere jacques.”

I Twittered about the Big Gift Basket Giveaway!
The most wonderful thing my three-year-old does lately is say, “I love you Mommy” while giving me a big hug. Several times a day. I melt!
Hmm, which kiddo do I pick? You can pretty much count on at least one of my five saying or doing something cute or funny each day.
One that sticks out in my mind was when I overheard my 2yo and 4yo girls singing the theme song together from Barbie & the Diamond Castle together the other day. They didn’t know all the words, but it was really cute and sweet.
Whoever wins this is certainly one lucky person!

We were on an airplane last weekend when my two-year old looked out the window and asked, “Daddy, are the wings generating lift?”. (She and her daddy have had lots of discussions about how planes fly).)
Great gift basket giveaway from Simple Mom – http://tinyurl.com/5k4lj2
My baby loves to “backup” by scooting backwards on her butt whenever I say “beep, beep, beep.”
I have had terrible morning sickness & my almost 3 year old will give me a hug and kiss. He will ask” Does my love make Mommy feel better?” How cute is that!!!
I told my 2 year old son one morning that I needed to go to work to pay for all of the nice things we had – food, the house, clothes. He thought about it for a few minutes and then shouted out “Papa, I won’t eat today, so you don’t need to go to to work, so you can stay home and play all day.” Touching!
Oh my!! What a giveaway!
The cutest thing Nate does of late is put a blanket over his head and walk until he runs into something, then excitedly pull the blanket off to see where he ended up. He looks so excited every time he does it! It’s priceless. But don’t worry…we monitor for safety! LOL
Thanks for hosting this!
Jen´s last blog post…Wordless Wednesday – Good Food Means Good Friends
My 3 1/2 yr old daughter loves music/dancing. She knows the words to “You are my sunshine” and loves to sing it for anybody. Instead of singing “when skies are gray” she says “you guys are great”. She looks so adorable when she is singing it (and she knows it)!!!
My little one calls her brothers and sister “bad guys” when they do something she doesn’t like. It makes me laugh so hard, but I have to try to hide it
World’s Greatest Mommy´s last blog post…The Ow Plant and Being 11
When playing Hide and Seek, my daughter says “ready or not, where are you?”.
My little man is 8 months old and gives the best kisses! He will grab my face and pull me towards him, with his mouth open wide. They are something I will treasure forever!
just reading these are cracking me up! I am so glad you had this wonderful idea!
i was at Thanksgiving and my 2nd cousin Cody (wildman) told me to tell his cousins…. that he doesn’t “like” them anymore, that he is grown up now and now he knows they are weird. He used to run around trying to kiss them all the time. Now he tells any gal over the age of 12 they are hot. he is a hot mess! We are all related! not sure how this bit of info missed him. there are about 100 ppl on the side of the famly though.
Great giveaway! The first time my daughter saw a horse in real life she looked at it quizzically and then made the sign and sound effect for elephant. It was pretty cute.
I love when my two sweeties are asleep – they truly are the angels in my life!!
Wow! Seriously, how many awesome giveaways can there be? ;o)
Our youngest is into labeling or naming everyone in the room, and sometimes counting them. Tonight as we were sitting on the couch at my in-laws before bed, she randomly said “I love you ____” to each person in the room. It was very sweet.
Oh gosh! With three little ones at home, it’s impossible to choose just one cute thing. Let’s see…
Our oldest and only son just had his first run-in with a Salvation Army bell ringer. I gave him and his sister each a handful of coins to put in the bucket. He promptly deposited his money, then looked at the bellringer and said, “I gave you my money! Why are you still ringing that darn bell!?” I wasn’t sure whether to be mortified or to laugh, but since the bellringer was laughing, I did too.
His twin sister is so very loving, and she never has favorites among her parents. If her daddy asks if she loves him best, she’ll say, “I love you both the same, and that’s A LOT!” Melts our hearts every time.
The littlest isn’t talking very much yet, but we find it rather hilarious that if we’re slow to answer her call in the morning she’ll start saying “Mama” over and over again. If that doesn’t work, she switches to “Papa,” and if we still haven’t come to her at that point she resorts to the combination tactic, “Mapa!” I hate to admit it, but sometimes we actually leave refrain from getting her just so that we can here the progression. I know, we’re horrible parents!
Mist´s last blog post…Product Review: Knifty Knitter Long Loom
My son who is 5 has quite the vocabulary, using words like “dissipate” and “precarious” accurately and intelligently. But then he also tells me when things are “op-s0-lighded” (LOPSDIDED) and it was only a few weeks ago when I convinced him that it was a PUMP-KIN not “pumpk-man”.
Thanks for your great blog.
My little two-year old neice was with us and we were going to get cupcakes and so I asked her if she wanted a cupcake. My brother, being funny, said “Or do you want a butt kick?” She thought about that for a minute and said, “I want a butt kick mom!” She is too cute!!
When my nearly 2 year old isn’t sure which sign language he’s supposed to use (”say thank you”, “say good-bye”, “ask mommy if you can use that”…) he’ll defaul to blowing a kiss. He can ask me anything he wants and I’ll say yes if it comes with a kiss!

this is such a great give-a-way with so many fun items
To pick just one thing cute that my kids say is a hard one.
This one came to my mind first,
when ever my 5 year old introduces his 2 year old brother to others he says, “this is my brother Seth, his is just a little bit cute and sometimes really naughty.”
Oh, so hard to choose one cute thing. My 3-year-old is currently into flexing his muscles, “just bike this, Mommy!” (”bike” means like). My one-year-old…well, everything she does is cute! You know, using everything as a telephone, singing…oh the singing is almost too cute…I could go on and on. =)
We live in suburban Chicago, and as we drive by the Sears Tower, my little guy will look out the window and say, “There that Serious Tower.”

My daughter is just learning to talk and tells us to “be nice” when we tell her not to do something. It makes us laugh every time!
My five year old daughter, after asking for a special treat that she realized she wasn’t going to get, asked if it was possible she would get it. We said, ‘yes, it’s possible.’ She then asked if it was probable. Ha! She saw right through us. Probable of course meaning if it was likely to happen. Future lawyer?
Wow, I just found your website and I love it. What a wonderful give away.
We were at a family get together this last week. My 5 month old was rolling around on the floor where the kids were all playing. One of the one-year-old girl cousins sat down by him and was patting his back. My two-year-old little boy came running over and wedged his way between Mia and Nate, and threw Mia’s hand away. He shouted “No! My Nate-an! No touch!” he is suddenly very protective of his baby brother. I love it. It melts my heart.
Neat! Cool stuff…my 16 month old loves to say “Wow!” in this growly little voice and he says it at the funniest moments, too! This morning he pulled the parakeet cage off of the end table, surveyed the resulting disaster, and exclaimed…”WOW!” He keeps us giggling with that “wow”.

Television has more influence than I realised.
Our 2yo daughter and I were watching our neighbour bring in lumber for his current project. I asked “See the man carrying wood?” She replied “No, it’s shelving.” Obviously the child watches too much HGTV.
Wow, what an incredible giveaway!!!! Well, I’ll share what my 2 year old says because my 2 month old isn’t saying too much these days.
2 weeks ago i really hurt my back and dh had to come home to help out with the kids so he explained to our daughter (she just turned 2) that i had hurt my back and she needed to be careful and not ask me to do too much for her. so she blurts out, “your back sore, mommy? i call dr. jeana (our chiropractor)” then she goes and finds the phone and holds it up to her ear and says, “hello, dr. jeana, mommy’s back sore. okay. okay. bye bye.”
She is constantly saying things like make us laugh all day long. Not too long ago she saw the moon in the sky when we were driving home and she looked and me and said, “Mommy, you get the moon for me please?”

Then I said, “Okay, let’s go to bed.”
He said, “Bye Mica! Bye!,” closed up the mirror and followed me up the stairs.

French Knots´s last blog post…Friday
We recently just had our second child and when ever our 3 and 1/2 year old talks to anyone the first thing he says is “I have a baby brother”. We were so worried that he wouldn’t adjust but he has not only adjusted but fallen in love. Whenever his brother cries he goes to him and says “don’t cry, it’s okay, I’m here”.
My 3 month old stares at his older brother all day long, craneing that little neck if he has to. I can just foresee that my eldest is going to lead him into lots of mischief!
Great giveaway! I love the stroller storer!
Thanks,

Something I find is hilarious is that of my four children, all perfectly bilingual (italian/English), one has a slight Italian accent in English, on has the strongest American accent , the third speaks perfect and posh British and the wee one will always pick Italian pronouns in ANY sentence (even in English) except for him’s (which he uses to say his, and being a tot he is in the process of perfecting his language skills!)
My five year old proclaims very loudly and publicly “Mommy I think the baby wants a BOOOOOBIE!” whenever my one month old cries. This is also the kiddo that says the baby “eeeks” when he spits up. “The baby eeeked again mom”.

Kris´s last blog post…EARTHQUAKE!
My two year old always says “yours” instead of “your”. She sat me down and grabbed the sides of my face the other night and said this (in a breathy, soap opera voice…we don’t watch soap operas, don’t worry!):
“Momma, now cwose yours eyes…now shut yours mouf…now breeeeeave (breathe).” and then she planted this sweet kiss right on my lips. She was so serious I didn’t dare laugh but it sure was hard to hold that back!
laura´s last blog post…Good Cause
I have 18 month old twin boys. Right now they think they are both named Owen. It is so cute to see them run to find each other shouting ‘Owen, Owen.’ Mason will wake up from nap before Owen and when he hears Owen wake up he runs to his door, pushes it open shouting ‘Owen, Owen.’ Owen sees Mason come in to get him and immediately starts jumping up and down in his crib. At bedtime they give each other goodnight ‘kisses’ which is them leaning in towards each other and rubbing their heads or cheeks together. So sweet.
Erin Crews´s last blog post…I am thankful for…
I think it’s pretty cute the way my almost-three-year-old mimics me wearing her baby sister by wearing her stuffed animals and baby dolls, usually by stuffing them down the front of her shirt.
I also live overseas. I have a five month old little boy. All the local folks here think foreigners look the same. Recently I was babysitting for a friend’s 2 year old little girl. I ran into my neighbor who often sees me with my son. She said, ” 5 month’s old and your little boy can already walk” I replied, “yes, I was surprised how fast he growing up”. She stood there in amazement believing me until I fessed up it was my friends kid.

Kim N´s last blog post…Not Sure We Are Making Any Progress Here…
I have an almost-3 year old who is always coming out with something funny…she’s started adding to her evening prayers, “please help Bella not to jump on me.” This is in reference to her Mimi’s dog who likes to jump and play. Her papa made the mistake of saying “see ya wouldn’t wanna be ya” so on the first day of preschool when I picked her up, what do you think she said to her teacher? Yep…”see ya wouldn’t wanna be ya.” I had to laugh to disguise my embarrassment!
A GREAT giveaway here for little kiddos- http://tinyurl.com/5k4lj2
My just turned 3 year old girl said to me “Mom your cool, do you want to go break some rules.”
She also corrected a family member that they were not eating avacado but instead they were eating ‘blocamole’
When she has gas ( which is quite often) she calls it ‘poofing’. She says “Oops, I poofed.”
She calls her father and I by our first names and she yells to him from atop the stairs in the evening when he come home “Hey Doug, how was your day?” Of course it’s in the cutest little chimpmunk voice.
…She’s too funny..

My 18-month old daughter says “mem” for “amen” after we pray.
When I have something delicious on my plate (dessert!), my 2yo daughter will start asking for “a bite” and gets more insistent the longer she has to wait. It just gets funnier. “A bite? A bite. A-bite-a-bite. A-bite-a bite-a-bite. A-bite-a-bite. A-bite-a bite-a-bite!A-BITE-A-BITE-A-BITE!”
My 3-year-old daughter calls her all her babies, “sweetheart.” She says that was all parents call their kids. Too darn cute for me!
Bryssy´s last blog post…Words for Wednesday
Since we’re “home for the holidays”, I’ll comment with something cute my 22 month old girlie says. She calls my mom “monga” instead of “grandma”. Don’t know how she came up with, but my mom wants to cry everytime she hears my girl say it. It’s super precious. I hope it becomes my mom’s special name from my girlie for good.
Thanks for the great giveaway!!!
Briana´s last blog post…The Inexpressible Gift
My two year old son does not like it when I wear my hair pulled back. I got tired of him whining about it so I started telling him it wasn’t his decision how I wear my hair. Now, he’ll look at me, point to his hair and say, “no” and smile. I say, “what does Mommy say?” and he’ll say, “ce-cision”. It’s become a game rather than a fight now.
My 17 month old waves goodbye to her grandparents when they say goodbye over the phone.
I’m sure I could think of more if I thought long enough, but the latest from my 3yo…..after eating his “bite-a-min C” he has to brush his teeth with what else but his “teethbrush” (does make more sense than singular tooth, eh?).

I have eight week old twin girls, and what they do that’s especially cute is smile and coo when we talk to them. Okay, I know all babies do that, but it’s still a major milestone when it’s your own kids!
My son calls us MommyDaddy all one word and each parent is both MommyDaddy.
My 3 year old son is potty training, and he tells us that the potty eats pee and poop! Whatever works to get him motivated, I’m so sick of changing diapers.

Baby #1 currently swims about in utero and has one heck of a flickering heartbeat. Great giveaway
My little guy is at the stage where every animal is a dog to him. Whenever he see a dog, cat, bird, or whatever, he points and goes “arf arf”!
Cute thing: I have a tiny 15-month-old (19 pounds, still in 9 month clothes) who has an incredible vocabulary. Her biggest words are “microwave” and “bicycle.” It freaks people out!
My little one does many cute things. She likes to stare at herself in her mirror and laugh and laugh at herself. It is very amusing.
My little girl LOVES music and LOVES to sing. She’ll sit at the piano with me and sing along — then scream, “Yay!” when we’re done with a song, then, in a tiny, questioning voice, ask for another song title. I love it!

My baby yawns. I know it doesn’t sound very exciting, but as I post this, he is 8 hours old, and Mom is still sleeping off the effects of the birth. I have a few minutes to catch up on emails, and am already bragging about my new son!
On Thanksgiving day, my brother taught my 4 and a 1/2 month old son how to make wet raspberries. Everyone in the family is busy wiping spit from their glasses/faces from the baby’s antics, because he hasn’t quite learned how to do it right.
I have two little ones, one speaking and one not. The talker just recently walked into the kitchen while I was kicking and said, “What in the world is going on in here?” My youngest litterally acts like a monkey, so the humor in her has to be experienced.
My 14 month old isn’t exactly talking yet, but he’s getting there. Right now (as I type!) he’s running around the living room with an old cell phone up to his ear, saying “des oo” over and over again.
Wowzers, what a generous giveaway!!
I have a new mama in mind that this would bless tremendously…. crossing my fingers! = )
What a terrific giveaway! My three year old loves to play in the kitchen drawers. She took out a very small funnel and determined that it was a breast pump for her! She wore it around the house for several days. Oh so precious!
When we scratch our 2 year old daughter’s back, she says, ” oh yah, oh yah, oh yah…” She must have learned it from daddy, when mommy scratches his back. =)
My youngest is a pretty picky eater, and for a long time wouldn’t eat any meat. When he finally tried some, and liked it, he from then on called it ‘neat’. “Mommy, can I have some more neat?”
We are expecting our new little girl this Wed, Dec 3rd. The big brother- my son who is 3 yrs old wakes me up every day asking “Mommy, today we go to hopsicle (hospital) and get Baby Tess out”!!! too cute!! would sooo love to win this!!!
Welll… too much cuteness for one page! My dd is 7 months, and when she gets excited about something she rapidly kicks her right leg. I call her “Thumper” from Bambi.
I blogged about the giveaway
Keilah´s last blog post…I Give and I Give
I talk to the little ones in my life at night and say ‘good night, I love you’. When I talk to them in the morning and say ‘good morning’ they insist that its still ‘good night’ – often emphatically. There’s no reasoning with them to explain morning and night until I ask if they want to go back to sleep and then they’ll say ‘good morning’
I’d love to win this!
Something cute my lil man (21 mo) says:
“Mama, mama! Dole, (his uncle Joel) shoes. NO no shoes. BOOTS!!! Dole Boots!”
Can you guess what Uncle Joel wears on his feet most of the time?
And, I twittered! @fishbowlsense
I’d love to win! One of my favorite things about my boys right now is how they butcher some of their words…”regliar” instead of regular, “top” instead of stop, and other such cute words!
Linn´s last blog post…Farewell, bloggers & friends.
I have two boys (4 and 1). The younger is a constant babbler and conversationalist (although we have no idea what he’s saying) and the older is regularly translating for us. One day the younger was chatting away in the other room and my older son ran in and shouted, “Mom, do you know what Elliott just said?” I guessed, “Dad?” And my older son looked at me like, Lady you need a better imagination, and said, “No, hedgehog!”
p.s. Great giveaway. Thanks for the chance to win!

My 9 month old is too little to talk, but since he was just a few months old, he has found great joy in nursing. Many times when he gets himself ‘attached’ to me, he giggles without unlatching. It is the cutest!
Joanna´s last blog post…Scott Boyd
Well, my little one isn’t quite here yet, he is due in a few days. BUT, I think it is so neat when he moves around to here his dad better, or kinda pushes out at my stomach by his dad’s voice!
Ya for giveaways! I will be blogging about it for sure!
Jessica´s last blog post…I’m Thankful…
Wow, there are so many great things in that basket! Thanks for the chance to win
My daughter is 3 now, but one day last year she was playing with her orange play-doh, and I heard her whispering to herself over and over, “It’s not cheese. It’s not cheese”, and if she were willing herself not to eat it! She makes me laugh constantly!
On the way home from the library, my 4 year old son asked me, “Why is it called the libary if it doesn’t have any berries?” Then a second later he followed that up by saying, “And why is it called a butterfly if it’s not made of butter?”
Our 3-wk old makes a little “ooooh” face at random times – doesn’t appear to be linked to any of the usual ‘presents’ she gives.

My 1 1/2 year old loves to clean and throw things away. She has taken to intentionally spilling the dog’s water dish so she can go to the cabinet, get out a paper towel, clean it up, and then throw out the paper towel! It’s so cute I hate to tell her how wasteful all those paper towels are!
Gosh my two little ones say so many cute things everyday that picking one is impossible. But, here goes – lately, when I say its time for naps they both look at me, pouting, and saying NO MOMMY – naps are too boring. Cracks me up every time.
My youngest, 10 months, has the most contageous giggle! She keeps us thankful and smiling! Awesome giveaway!
While saying prayers at bedtime we always give our kids the opportunity to say what they want to thank God for. We’ll say, “Thank you God for…” and let them fill in the blank. My son, since he was old enough to start this has said, “Thank you for Papa… and Grandma… and chocwat.” Translation: Chocolate. That’s right, my son thanks God for chocolate EVERY night. His sincerity about it never ceases to crack me up!
Something funny my daughter (4 years) did was come up for a name for our unborn baby should it be a girl. She said, “Mom, I have a beautiful name for the baby. . . . Emily Sparkles!” All I could do was laugh and say, “Yes Sweetie, that is a VERY beautiful name!” Ahh the funny things kids say!
My 1 year old daughter already loves to brush her teeth. She’ll search through the bathroom drawers until she finds a toothbrush and then sticks it in her mouth like Momma and Daddy do. Good dental hygiene already!
What a great giveaway!!

My little Abby (almost 4 years old) is really into pirates right now. She’s all about the “ARRRRRRGGGHHHH.” I love it.
Carrie´s last blog post…Success
My husband and I were taking our sons, one almost three and the other who is just one to their Grandma’s house. We told the oldest we are going to Grandma’s. He said “Oh, are you and Daddy going on a date?” I think maybe Grandma is babysitting to often.
While tucking my son in to bed the other night, I said to him ” I wish you were still 4!” (He is 10.) He says to me, ” Mom, I wish you were still 27!”
So funny!
My 20 month old just learned how to make a fart noise with his mouth if you tell him to pull your finger. Sounds terribly unclassy but it’s hilarious.
*pixie*´s last blog post…We take our fort making seriously around here
This looks awesome! My 15-month old knows the alphabet! In our church nursery they have a rug with the letters running around the border. Although she’s walking well, she immediately sits down and starts crawling around the rug saying her letters with a huge grin as she goes.
My daughter (2 years old) puts plastic bags on her socks and then “skates” around the house. She recites over and over again “Annie play gockey!” (hockey) And then she pretends to body check her Raggedy Ann doll. :-l
You can tell she’s got uncles and a Papa that love hockey! They’re teaching her already!
Sarah Bessey´s last blog post…In which it is Foto Friday AKA Two tinies in a crib
‘no i dont’ is the standard answer for any question you ask my toddler these days, hope its a quick phase!
Since my little boy can’t speak yet (he’s 8 months), one of the cutest things he does is scoot on his little bum towards the door and flap his arms wildly when he hears daddy’s keys and footsteps coming up the steps! We have hardwood floors and he can be across the dining room in less than a minute!
Well, about the only thing my little one is saying these days is “No!” But it’s adorable when he says it, for the time being anyway.
What a great giveaway! Hope I win!
Julie Jones´s last blog post…
My daughter always says, “I’m a big ‘grill’.”
My husband and I “farkle” (paper, scissors, rock) over changing diapers and such sometimes and my toddler started pounding his fist to play along but he only makes a rock over and over again! So many cute things to remember.
Such a great giveaway – blogged to spread the word. Thanks.
Lynnette´s last blog post…Thanksgiving Day+change of plans + prego emotions = too much
My 3 year old daughter loves to eat burgers (i know, bad mommy, but it’s one of the few ways she’ll eat some veggies!). She calls them “hammaburgers.”
My little 11 month old loves to celebrate herself. When she does something she likes she holds both hands up above her head until I say “Yeah Emery!”
Erin´s last blog post…Simple Christmas Ideas
My newly 1 year old knows he’s not supposed to play with the vertical blinds so when we say, “Where’s the blinds?”, he responds with “uh-uh”! Now if only he’d listen to his own command and not play with the blinds!
My little one is due any day now; but the cute thing he or she does is get excited and kick me over and over after I’ve eaten beef.
My little one is 3. Instead of saying he forgot something he says he got for to do something. It’s too cute to correct!
Our baby is on the way, too, but before we were married my husband lived with some friends. We’re living in China and they speak English but mostly speak in Chinese at home. One morning while he was getting ready to go in his bedroom she came and leaned up against the door (she was only two), and said, “Are you going to take a shower today?” It was such a complete question for a Chinese speaking baby. I’m not sure where she got it.
This is a fantastic giveaway!
My 4 year old says breakfast like “brikfast” and “rigular” as regular. She often asks for ” rigular brikfast” and it cracks us up too much to correct her.
When asked if he “tooted” my little one said “No, I burped in my pants.” haha!
Mama K´s last blog post…Turkey Day Hangover
My wee one calls her belly button her “belly butt”. I love it! She walks around all day holding up her shirt with one hand and sticking her finger from her other hand in her belly button all the while shouting “belly butt! belly butt!”

My son is 22 months, and says a lot of words a little off, but my favorite is when he says “momma, peeve” meaning, momma please.

I just blogged about this
ashley´s last blog post…WE’RE IN!
I’ve never known a child as funny as my 2 year old son, but then again I’ve never been around any other child as much as him. He says and does all sorts of funny things. The latest is that he says “oh my goodness” to himself when he’s really excited. He also does this little jig when he’s really happy (not just your ordinary child dance moves either), he swings his hips back and forth, kind of like Elvis. Oh, and he also likes to tell people they have “chubby buns.” Luckily not everyone understands that is what he is saying.
Sarah´s last blog post…Happy Birthday Buddy!
nothing is more amazing and adorable to me than when my son (4 months) laughs. it just lights up my world!!!

iMommy´s last blog post…Oh, internets….I love you!
Fabulous give-away; love your blog; it helps me get through my days!
So many things I could say, but what is fresh in my mind is from today. My oldest daughter (6) came running over to me while playing in the playroom and said, “Mom, she [my 18 month old daughter] just said her first word in OUR LANGUAGE [meaning English, not baby talk]!” I smiled and said, “What did she say?” My oldest replied, “Uh Oh!” This was funny for many reasons, but a great moment with my kids this morning (three daughters: 6.5, 4.5 and 18 months)!
Now the youngest can’t stop saying, “Uh Oh!” 
We’re remodeling, and we came home from a weekend away to find our entryway stripped down to studs and wiring. Our 22-month-old son looked around and thought for a minute, then pronounced, “House. Naked.”
Emily´s last blog post…Couldn’t Pay Us Enough!
My 12 month old likes to practice brushing his teeth while I brush mine, then he likes to switch (our hands, not our toothbrushes) – he brushes mine while I brush his. He gets a kick out of this!
Meredith´s last blog post…almost unbelievable
WHAT a giveaway! I have a 15 month old, Lily. Somewhere around July 3rd, 2009 she will be promoted to “Big Sister.” So lately I have been telling her there is a baby in Mommy’s belly. Today…..she kissed the belly. It was the sweetest thing! Lily does A TON of cute things, but that stole my heart! Her and her new baby brother/sister would love these items! Off to my blog……

my three year old daughter cupped my face in her hands and said, “God painted you!”
My little girl is just shy of 4 months old and I love it when she giggles at her Daddy when he comes home from work. I will sit on the chair with Evelyn so we can see Daddy when he comes in the door. As soon as he come in Evelyn squeals and laughs and kicks and reaches for her Dada. They love each other so much.
My son often mixes up ’soggy’ and ‘foggy’. So he often tells me that his cereal in the morning is ‘foggy’.
You didn’t say how little little was, but my littlest boy is 4. If dinner was something he enjoyed (and he is always skeptical), he will ask, “Who made this?” Then, he will turn to the chef, usually me, and say, “Manks, Mama. This is deee-licious.”

My son–10 mos-has a new favorite word….BUH-OOOOOOOOOOON!
translation=balloon
Other cuteness: he’s learned the motion to “This Little Light of Mine” and often wakes up, does the motion, and waits for me to sing.
My daughter says to-mornin’ for tomorrow morning.
Shelley´s last blog post…Is It Going To Rain Today?
My almost-4-year old says two cute things, “yesternight,” and “speaking about” (instead of “speaking of…”). What a great giveaway! Wow.
My almost-4-year old says two cute things, \”yesternight,\” and \”speaking about\” (instead of \”speaking of…\”). What a great giveaway! Wow.
I love how my son calls me “Momma”. I have no clue where he picked up “Momma” but I love it!
i think it is the most amazing, adorable, wonderful thing when my son (4 months old) laughs. he has such a wonderful laugh, and it’s contagious. i can’t help laughing with him!!
sara´s last blog post…Black Bean and Butternut Squash "Lasagna"
My 2yo Niece is in the habit of saying “Sorry guys” around the house. To no one.
We’re raising my son trilingual, and there is nothing cuter than a two-year-old saying, “Oui, bitte” (French and German).
Seriously. So cute.
My little boy is only 6 weeks old at this point, but I find his smile delightful. I would love to give him this basket of goodies!
I don’t need an alarm to wake up in the morning. My daughter who is about to turn two years old, yells “Momma, Momma!” when she’s ready to get out of bed!

my son says, “i love you…so very much.”
I love all the goodies in the giveaway, what a great assortment!
Ok, as a mom to 2 little ones, the funniest thing my daughter has recently said/done which is a comment on society…
My 2 year old now pinches the hands and toes of all of her dolls and stuffed animals. Any item that doesn’t “say” something back is quickly turned over to me with the statement, “Mom it not work, it need new batteries.” UGH, how do you get a 2 year old to understand that some toys leave things up to your imagination?
Shanna
My 16 month old adores her 3 year old big brother. She walks around the house and constantly calls his name: “ju-ju, r you?” It’s adorable.
Kathy´s last blog post…Still here
My daughter puts both of her arms up in the air when you say touch down or you she sees football on the TV. She is only 11 months old so it’s pretty cute.
Carrie Lim´s last blog post…Happy Surprise 30th Birthday to the Most Wonderful Husband
Wow! What a great giveaway!
The cutest thing my 14 month old daughter does is a happy dance! It consists of her stomping/running in place and squealing with joy. She does her happy dance when we offer her bananas (her favorite!), when our dogs run near her or give her kisses, a song she likes is playing on the radio, or when she sees Mommy and Daddy after we have been gone for a little while. It’s the cutest thing to watch! Her face lights up and she can hardly control herself, thus the running in place. It’s enough to brighten anyone’s day!
when we lived on the island our little one always got excited when we would get anywhere near the airport…. she swore her grandparents lived there as that is where we always picked them up from.
Not so sure this went through. I will try again. My daughter throws her arms up in the air whenever you say touch down and when she sees football on TV. She is only 11 months so this is pretty cute.
My 3 year old loves his daddy. Tonight in the car he was talking with a friend about when he was born and he said he came out of his daddy’s tummy. Nothing from me could persuade him to change his mind. I guess that is a battle for another day.
OOOh…love this giveaway!!!! My little one (7 months old) pats my back when I am burping her. So cute….love my baby girl! And my 2 bigger boys!
Amy in CA
Not sure where it came from but my just turned 3 year old girl said to me in her cutest little chimpmunk voice ever “Mom your cool, wanna go break some rules?”
She also corrected a family member that they were not eating avacado but instead they were eating ‘blocamole’
When she has gas (which is quite often) she calls it ‘poofing’. She says “Oops, I poofed.”
She calls her father and I by our first names and she yells to him from atop the stairs in the evening when he come home “Hey Doug, how was your day?”
…it’s too funny..
