The Little E

This little girl has had a vocabulary explosion lately. Kade and Ella have shown me in more ways than one that all kids are SO different. Kade didn't speak a single word until 17 months, I was so worried. Then he started talking and within a week he had more words than I could count and he was speaking sentences shortly after. He was also very clear and most people could understand him. Ella is like a total 180. I say she is more "normal" on the talking scale. She had a few words at 12 months and has slowly added more. And as of a few weeks ago, her vocabulary has exploded. The thing is I am sure only Bryan and I are the only ones who have a clue what most of the words are. I started making a list today of all her words and I eventually stopped because she really had more than I realized!
Here is the list:
Mama
Dada
Ade (kade)
Hi
Ho (hello)
Bye
Dadee (baby)
Boon (balloon)
Tree
This
Di (after watching I'm fairly certain this means drink)
Night night
Uh oh
Mmmmmm (when she is hungry :)
Bi (bite)
Tank eww (thank you)
Here
And there were more! She is really starting to identify things with words! I love watching babies learn at this age, it is so fun!!

Trick or Treat!

We had SO MUCH fun trick or treating this year! Kade loved it and totally understood what was going on! He is at such a precious age! Ella didn't get it at all, but she had so much fun running after Kade. She even ended up with a little candy! Bryan and I were DYING laughing at her running and watching her little cow booty shake back and forth :) We trick or treated a little on our own and then met up with Hailey and Ashlyn and went with them as well!

Kade "spied" a frog.

Going through their loot!

 

Halloween Parade

The day before Halloween, Kade was able to wear his costume to school for the school parade! it was ADORABLE! He was waving and yelling "Hey Mom!!!!" the entire time! So much fun!

 

At this point Kade kept saying, "How long is this going to take??"

Halloween Party!

Several months ago I was browsing Pinterest and causally mentioned to Bryan that we should have a Halloween party. I was half way kidding. Bryan took me serious, he was excited and the following Monday told ALL his coworkers we were having a party.

Thus, our Halloween party was born. 

I drug my feet the entire way. I really didn't want to have it. Bryan couldn't stop talking about it.He had so many ideas on what to do with the house, he even came home one day and said he needed a fog machine and a projector. I almost canceled it right then and there. I love that Bryan puts 200% into whatever it is that he is doing, but it wears me out. The party was all he could talk about for about 6 weeks. The week before the party I was over it. 

I pulled myself together and Bryan did his thing (which was basically putting the entire thing together) and it ended up being a lot of fun! As much as I made fun of my husband and his crazy ideas, he really did a great job! There were singing pumpkins in the back yard, a grave yard, black lights and neon balloons in the garage, and Halloween decor everywhere! From what I could tell everyone had fun! It was a great mix of fun for adults and kids and we might do it again next year!

I did a terrible job of taking pictures. TERRIBLE! I didn't get hardly any of all the cute decorations and set ups. So this will have to do!
