Baby Talk

Ever since Gracie's language skills took off, I love hearing her say new words. Most words she pronounces correctly, but there are those that belong to her own little language. She is also getting really good at speaking in sentences. She still leaves out articles like 'the' or 'a' but all of the important stuff is in there. Here are some cute things she says.

"No go sthore a Mommy"- I dont want to go to the store with Mom. Words like 'with', 'and', or 'to' turn into 'a'.

"Cum on Daddy, pay rosie" -Wants to play ring around the rosies

"Looka dat"- Look at that

"Oh, tute Tempy"- Aww, cute Kemp

Fif-fished- Finished

Sani-tizer- Perfect pronounciation of 'sanitizer'. Yes, we are germ freaks with the new baby around

Heva-Heva song- A Childs Prayer song

Plin-get- Piglet from Winnie the Pooh

Thinder-relly- Cinderella, her favorite movie

Blay-tet- Blanket

"Heer a go" - Here you go

"Wayn a min-uh" Wait a minute

My First Blog List

I can never do these list blogs, they are so hard for me! Then I found one that is very easy. Sean never looks at this blog unless I show him so if this post suddenly disappears, it is probably because he read it! This December we celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary so I'll just say that this list is in honor of that.

Ten Things I Love About Sean

1. He is a high achiever-(hello medical school)
2. He is a real family guy-he puts huge value in putting our family first
3. He loves kids. I didn't realize this so much until we got married and I have been stunned as we have had our own, taught primary, and interacted with neices and nephews how much he enjoys children- and they love him! (see number 4)
4. He adores our kids and can't get enough of them.
5. He is such a guy- fishing, football, shooting, camping
6. He isn't afraid to show his soft side with Gracie and Kemp. I love to hear him baby talk and be so gentle
7. He has a sincere testimony and likes to talk about spiritual things
8. He loves to cook and try out new recipes
9. He always tries to put me first
10. He is hot!!
