The Mystery of "Pachee"

It's been a while! Life has been busy or full of vacation time. It was fun, Noelle had a blast, and she changed so much over the vacation! She was certainly the star of the whole week. I think some of our favorite memories will be all the funny things she did on vacation. It was great getting to spend a week just playing with her - and she is getting more and more of a personality every day!

Part of this personality involves lot of chatty talk. Some of them are actual words, some of them are noises she learns fro her Daddy. And then some of them we don't know what they are at all.

The most mysterious of these communications is what we call "Pachee"!

She started doing it a bit before vacation, but then did it ALOT on the plane ride (to complete strangers of course). Now that we are back, she continues to do it, and responds to our promptings of "pachee".

Basically she takes one hand, holds the wrist of her other hand, looks at you with those big blue eyes and mutters, "pachee" - although on occasion it can sound more like "bajee".

Take a look for yourself...

So she wasn't doing it in the clearest fashion, but I think you get the point. And you also get a glimpse into her clearer "thank you" - which had started by a very distinct "dah doo" a couple weeks ago.

If you think you have the mystery solved on "pachee" please let us know. She talks about "pachee" everywhere. At meal time, in the carseat, in the bath, walking around the house. We've even tried other words to see if we say them and it prompts more "pachee" and therefore solves the mystery. No dice.

Maybe someday we will know... Until then, "pachee" to you and yours.
