Keira-speak

Keira has blossomed in her language skills the past few weeks and I thought I'd share a few of her favorite words with you.

Ah-puh: apple or any other fruit/vegetable that somewhat looks like an apple such as an onion or an orange.

Is ah gon: It's all gone. One of her favorite proclamations!!

Ni-nee: night night

Nonee: her favorite stuffed lion that she sleeps with. Also sometimes used to refer to her blankies as well.

Tweet tweet: bird. I'm pretty sure she could say bird, but if asked "say bird" she just says tweet and uses the sign for bird.

Booooo: either bull or moo. Margaret thinks she is saying bull after a lesson at the Lamp farm, but it's always been moo prior to. Either way, she's talking about a cow.

Uh, peas: Up please, often said with the sweetest voice and smile on her face.

Housh: house

Shoes: her absolute favorite word. I think she's going to have a serious weakness for shoe shopping some day.

Dat: refers to just about everything she can't say, including Uncle Mark, Uncle Lonnie, and Aunt Margaret, as well as everyday objects that she wants.

Don know: with arms upraised and a question mark on her face. VERY CUTE!

Uh huh: yes

Uh uh: no

She has quite a few more words in her vocabulary, these are just a few of my favorites.
We're just loving life and enjoying each day!!

It's hard to be a big boy!

Caden has been struggling with being a big boy these last few weeks. He often wants me to feed him and tells me he wants to be a baby again so I will take care of him and do everything for him. I think it's been a little hard on him with me being gone all day at school. This morning he was struggling to get his pajama shirt off and said in frustration "I can't do it!!" I said, "Yes you can Cade. Just pull hard. Use your muscles." He replied back "I didn't eat all my meat Mom, my muscles aren't strong." He then added, "I need stronger bones too, I need more milk!"

This from the boy who would drink a gallon of milk a day if I'd let.
