Woah Baby!

Kaylen was walking around the living room this morning when she tripped on her shoe lying on the floor. She totally biffs it on the floor, pops her head up and says "Whoa baby". Guess that is her new word of the day. Here are few more that popped up in the last few days:

Baseball "bayball"
Baseball Bat "bayball bat"
Oh man (thanks Dora the explorer and swiper cartoon!)
Shut up (I know, I know. I attribute this to Trent yelling at the dogs to quit barking)
Kleenex "keenet"

Aiden's first trip away from home

We went to Casper for the weekend to celebrate Sheridan's birthday. I love spending time with my family and letting all the cousins get together to have some fun! We had planned on coming home Sunday, but with a last minute change of plans, Aiden was invited to stay a few extra days for some quality cousin time! Of course I was hesitant to leave him, as he has never been that far away from home for that length of time without Trent or I with him. I thought surely he would be home sick just thinking of it and wouldn't want to stay, but I was wrong. I thought "As soon as we start packing up our stuff to go, he will change his mind". Wrong again! As we were driving home, I kept expecting a call saying he was upset and wanted us to turn around and go get him. WRONG!
We talked with him on the phone last night, and still no feelings of missing home. Trent, who didn't go to Casper with us, said "I thought you were going to come home and see me. I'm missing you". To which Aiden replied "Daaaddd, it's only a few days. You'll be fine". We couldn't help but laugh.
So, I'm a little sad that my boy is gone, but more sad that he doesn't miss me or want to come home! I guess that is life and one of the many blows to my ego that I will endure as my little boy continue to grow up. ♥ u little man!

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!
