Shawn has mono.

We cheered when we got the phone call.

At least we know what's wrong now.

Guide to speaking preschooler, part 2

Kezie has added some new words to her vocabulary. She will be talking seriously and in complete sentences, and then one of these words slips out. It's all I can do not to burst out laughing sometimes.


Chip-unk: chipmunk.
I saw a chipunk in a tree

Chakup: ketchup
Do you want chakup on your tater tots? Chakup is good.

Kitchen: chicken

Nunkin: napkin

Placsic: plastic

Nuffin: muffin
Chocolate nuffins are my favorite.

Ivy and Kezie are dancing in the living room. They fell down, and Ivy was laughing so hard she couldn't get back up. I'm so glad my girls are such good friends...most of the time.

Kezie is wandering the house singing "Defying Gravity"

She's the only one who hasn't caught a nasty stomach bug that the rest of us are dealing with, and I think she's getting bored.

Ivy update:
20 1/3 pounds, which puts her in the tenth percentile

29 1/4 inches, in the 45 percentile for height

She says: Mom, Daddy, Kezie, Boo, thank you, cracker, milk, uh-oh

And she now WALKS!

Kezie loves having video taken. She wanted to show off her dancing and how well she can spell her name.

Ivy's new word:

Uh-oh

She's been dropping things on purpose all day so she can say it. It's so cute.
