Words of the Weekend!

We went to Casper for the weekend, which brought new places, familiar faces and new words for Kaylen to learn! Here is the additions to her vocabulary:

Pink: (every color is pink - apparently it is her favorite color)
Orange: "Oungh"
Blue: "Bluoooo"
Ethan: "E-an"
Avery: "Aay-wree"
Z-Man: "E-man"
Cartoon
Swimming: "Weeming"
Pool: "Pooh"
Swim suit: "Weem suit"
Motorcyle: "Mimo" (I know...this one is a stretch, but she say's it everytime she sees a motorcycle)

Silly girl!

I just had to post these pictures because they make me laugh every time I look at them! The first is Kaylen wearing the camera case on her head like a hat. She did this as we took a drive through Yellowstone a few weeks ago. Amazingly this kept her occupied for a good hour of the trip; put it on, take it off, repeat process! Then she would laugh at herself, or better yet, get us to laugh at her! As I have said before, she is all about the accessories. Let's just hope she finds some better accessories!

The second is Kaylen on the swings at the park. What is it about swings and kids? It gets a giggle out of them every time! She just loves the wind blowing through her hair and that flying sensation. Whatever it is, it makes for a darn cute picture ♥

More new words!

So many new words from Kaylen, they are hard to keep up with. Here are a few from the last week:

Pretty: "Peddy"
Kaylen: "Kay-en"
Come on
Truck: "Tuck"
Outside: "Oh-Side"
Slide: "Side"
See you
Drink: "Dink"

☼Fireworks☼

Happy Fourth of July! As you can tell by the pictures, Aiden was way more excited about fireworks then Kaylen - she feel asleep about half way through the show. Aiden was so excited about his "rocket" firework, but was so sad after we set it off! I guess all things must come to an end, including rocket fireworks.

The learning curve!

I keep saying that Kaylen is literally learning at least one new word a day. Sometimes I find it hard to remember all the things she can say, and I don't think others really believe me just how fast she is really picking up on it. So, I've decided to start blogging them! I love this stage; their little minds are like a sponge and pick up on everything that goes on around them. Really I think Kaylen is learning to talk so rapidly because Aiden quizzes her ALL THE TIME. Most every day, when we are driving to daycare, Aiden is in the back seat saying "Kaylen can you say....". Amazingly, she like this and she will at least try to say everything he asks her to say. So here are a few of her most recent words:

Shoes: "sues"
Juice: "sues" (sounds exactly like shoes - this gets very confusing)
Snack: "Sack"
Aiden: "A-e"
Peek-a-Boo: "Pee-Boo"
Elmo (she loves Elmo)
Elmo movie: "Elmo mooee" (also loves the elmo move - we watch ALOT)
Come on: "Cuh on"
Bike
Hat

These of course are in addition to the many words she has said for a while; Mama, Dada, Poppy, Papa, Nany, Nana, ball, dog, cat, cow, eyes, nose, mouth, book, Love You, night-night, hot (learned that one the hard way), no-no and many more. It is so fun to see her grow up!

What a goof!

This is Aiden as he was getting ready to go play on the slip-n-slip in the backyard. No, I didn't make him hike up those swim trunks to his armpits; that was all him! He saw no problem with it, but did agree to lowing the waist line to a bit more "normal" level. Then, of course, he had to show off his muscles and act silly for some pictures!

Kaylen Pictures

These are a few old pictures I found of Kaylen; I can't believe how much she has grown up in the past few months. Her hair is longer and face has changed so much. Our sweet little girl! It is hard to believe that we will be celebrating her second birthday in just a few months.
