Kid talk

Ella was babbling today and she said 'mama'. Ok, so I know she didn't mean it, and it was just the sound, but she still said it! Anyway, it got me thinking about all the cute things that Kayson says. So I just thought I would jot them down.
He calls Ella 'Ella Bella', almost daily he asks, 'Mommy, I want go Zoo, see animals, Puh-leez!' He wants to do things 'all my by self', in his prayers he gives thanks for and blesses Everything, ie turtles, the window, choo-choo train tracks, and always, always, Grandma's truck. If he's watching a movie, he'll say 'Mommy/Daddy, come sit by me' and pat the couch next to him until we do. The first words out of his mouth most mornings are 'I need watch monkey puh-leez!' (He Loves Curious George), and 'I need a nack'. If you ask him what a big dinosaur says, he gives a great big gutteral 'Rooaarr!', when you ask what a baby dinosaur says, he says in a tiny voice, 'rar' He often asks, 'Mommy, I go nursery tuh-day?' or 'I go park, go on big, big slide mommy?' He loves 'pink chocolate milk', and of course 'I don't want tuh go bed anymore!'
I wish I could think of more off the top of my head. I want to remember the way he says and does things, and if I don't write them down, I won't.

"It's no-ing"

This morning it was snowing. I asked Kayson too look out side and he said with great joy "It's no-ing." He plastered his face against the window and watched for a minute. Then he went into his room and called for daddy several times. When I got in there he pointed at his snow suit and asked to put it on. I didn't even know he knew what it was or even where it was. So we bundled up, put his spider man shoes on and into the mini blizard he went.

At first he just stood on the patio and watched the snow, he was just taking it all in. Finally he timidly walked out on to the tiny patch of grass (free sod) and just looked around. Finally he remembered that the wheelbarrow had water in it. He put rocks into it for a while. After being out side for 15 minutes he had had enough and he got undressed. Ahhh looks like kayson will have a great winter!

Night Night

Today Kayson and Chad took a load of junk to the dump (old H2O heater, swamp cooler, vacuum, and carpet). After that they went and picked up a twin mattress for Kayson's bed. While those two were gone Courtney went and moved Kayson's crib out of his room and set up his bed. She also set up the crib for Ella. We tried to keep him out of his room until it was bed time so he wouldn't see the surprise/horror. He went into his room and he smiled and started jumping on the bed. He didn't seem phased at all. Court read him a story and he went right to bed. He adjusts to things so well.

This photo is a little fuzzy because the room actually is pitch dark so the camera couldn't focus well. She only wakes up about once a night. Last night I, Chad, was up more than her. The neighbors were up outside talking around 3am to 5am. I need a bb gun to take out their motion sensor. They weren't too loud, infact the only things I heard were the women laughing and it was picked up by the baby monitor. I think they quit the hang out/party once it started raining.

I went out and played woodsball paintball today. It rained the WHOLE day. I think I haven't been that cold and wet since I went hunting. Woods ball is war out in the forest. This one was at the Army training base and we had to get into a cement building. We got our trash kicked :( But it was fun none the less.

Yippee!!!

Something VERY exciting has happened! Ella is sleeping through the night! I thought it might be a fluke at first, but she has been doing it for about a week now. Kayson didn't sleep all the way through the night until he was almost a year old, so 7 1/2 months feels pretty good!
