Growing up way too fast!

So this little man isn't so little anymore. 20 months old already, he's almost 2! Man how time has flown. He's been saying new words left and right and trying to attempt to say new words. Like if we say, "can you say ..."   He'll try and say it. What a fast learner he has become. He has also been starting to notice things that are the same, such as he noticed the other day that he had jeans on and I did too. I had socks on and he did too, and as of yesterday he figured out that the neighbors had a mailbox like we had a mailbox, then he saw mailboxes across the street and further down our road and kept pointing to them, and then to ours.  It's been so much fun watching him learn these things.  What a big boy he has become. : )

What a bummer!

So today I was having a good friend over for lunch, so I decided to make a pot of chili and some cinnamon rolls. I got everything set out and ready to go, so that when she got here it would be ready to go. She only had an hour break. Caden had already ate and I was patiently waiting but Soo... starving and trying not to snitch bites. : ) My friend showed up only to have already ate! Ugh! I kept thinking, I could have already ate and why did I work so hard on lunch?  I know it's not a big deal, but I feel bummed, because I made a nice lunch for her knowing that she doesn't always eat good meals, and then she didn't eat it. : (  Looking now at it as a positive aspect, at least I don't have to make supper tonight and we have yummy homemade cinnamon rolls to go with it!

The future beach lover

Oh the beach, how this little man fell in love with the ocean. I can just see him being a beach bum when he is older. The love of the waves and the sand that is endless.

Oh the love of sand he developed, and then when he discovered the water that came up after he dug. He was so happy and kept saying water or "Wawer" as he would say.
