All Caden’s Words

Monday, February 8th, 2010

So I have some people asking how much Caden is talking. Hmmm… hard question. He, of course, thinks he’s talking. We have entire conversations and if you ask him a question (any question) he will nod his head and give you an affirmative “yeah”. In fact, complete strangers have thought they are having conversations with Caden so it’s very amusing.

As for words Caden knows, currently at exactly 2 1/2 years old (30 months).

  • Yeah
  • Mama
  • Uh-oh

And there you have it. All the words a 2 1/2 year old needs to know right there. Of course, the doctors will tell you that a 2 year old should have 50+ words and speak in 2 word sentences. Apparently by age 3 it’s supposed to be up toward 200+ words.

Caden doesn’t think so. With expressions like these who needs words?!!!

I know, what a slacker I am! So we’ll just pretend I’ve been updating and start from there.

We’re moving.  Back to Utah. 2 moves in less than a year. The girls are taking it well though I am sorely going to miss full day kindergarten out here. Adessa adores school, and moving to just 3 hours of it makes me cringe. I guess I don’t have to worry though about how she’ll do in first grade like many other parents though, wondering if she can handle it. Going to year round schooling is also kind of nerve wracking for me.  I believe kids need a schedule and just uprooting and changing it on them every 2 months is difficult.

Daniel closes on our new home on the 16th, very exciting. Random pics below in various stages of completion:

Outside, love the yellow w/ black door

We decided to have the girls share a room downstairs because it was just perfect. Double closets and a huuugee bedroom. Bigger than the master even. Should be fun for them.

Kitchen going in. The island is hhuuggee and I get my double ovens! :)

View from the dining room into the family room and kitchen.

Back of the house, before it was painted. It’s a very large back porch there.

We decided to finish off the basement so it’s 5 bedrooms 3.5 baths. Believe it’s 3200 sq. feet. Large backyard. Should be fun, and I’m hoping we can last for longer than 2 years in one spot. Though if you ask Daniel I all ready have my plans for our next move. I’m just being practical after all!
