Baby Talk

I am not one for baby talk, but I do have a few phrases that I find myself saying to Max alot- "can you say" and "yes he does." As in, "Can you say you love your daddy?" or "He loves to play, yes he does." While perhaps slightly goofy, I think this is fairly normal. But now. Oh now. I have reached a whole new level. I noticed it over Christmas, and it is not okay. Because now, I find myself just throwing these phrases into everyday conversation. When people ask me about Max (even when he's not with me), I find myself saying, "Oh he's so sweet, yes he is." Seriously. On more than one occasion. Even when the conversation is not about him. Oh my. I have even been know to ask people, "Can you say I want the tall skinny vanilla latte?" Okay, so I made that one up, but it's so close to the truth it's scary.

Then, last week, I realized I really am losing my mind. I have a habit of kissing Max on the head every time I pick him up, and I guess it has affected me more than I thought. Last week as I was cleaning I picked up a chair. And when I picked it up, what do you think I did? That's right. I kissed it then moved it to the other side of the room. Without even batting an eye. Awesome.

So...if you see me out and about you may want to steer clear. I may talk to you like a baby. Or kiss you. I'm not sure which would be worse.
