we had a big day today! ely learned how to say the "k" sound. for those of you who are around ely know that her "k" sound has been the source of some misunderstandings for awhile now. she couldn't make the sound, but she wouldn't use the same substitute sound. sometimes the "k" would be substituted with an "s" or a "p". some examples:
mama kathy = mama sassy (which i think we're going to try to keep. it's so cute!)
cup = pup
cat = sat
kisses = sisses
kitchen = titchen
mama kathy = mama sassy (which i think we're going to try to keep. it's so cute!)
cup = pup
cat = sat
kisses = sisses
kitchen = titchen
cry = pry
but tonight, my baby grew up a little more. she was talking to her papa on the phone telling him about the puntin patch, and told him the ducks make a quack sound (duck used to make a "sact" or "tact" sound in our house). preston got excited and told her to go tell mommy what sound a duck made and she did! k sound and all! i then asked her to say other k words like cup and kathy. she screamed every time she did it, she was so proud of herself! she then proceeded to say other words without a "k" sound just to get me and preston excited. she said "door" and screamed, "chair" and screamed, "freezer" and screamed...you get the idea! :)
here's her "k" video. sorry if it's a little bouncy, she wouldn't sit still!
Pumpkin Hunting Season
we also went pumpkin hunting today. it was a great family day! my family has gone pumpkin hunting ever since i was little. ely is now old enough to understand what is going on and to have fun with it. she ran from ride to ride and picked up pumpkins. she threw one too. they look like balls and what do we do with balls? we throw them. :) but she apologized to the pumpkin and said that he wasn't sad anymore that she threw him.

Yea! I just watched that video with a big grin on my face. I'm so proud of you, Ely! Her K-ousin will be so proud to hear her say ann-i-Ka!
Hooray for milestones.
We are really trying to get Tracy to say M-ilk instead of nulk.
She can say, "Say mmmmm-ilk" but they we ask what's in her cup and she says nulk. nuts.
I love that you have Josiah's first baby wearing picture on your blog and an Ely milestone at the same time.
Super cute.
Funny story, we went to smart and final yesterday and they had pumpkins for $3.50 each! Tracy was so excited to get a pumpkin that she was like, "happy birthday my pumpkin!" "it's my pumpkin" "I sit by my pumpkin"
I love the mind of a child, it makes me smile.
Yes, she can say Cousin Annika and Mama Kathy! (Ely's way to say "Grandma" is "Mama.") But after she says Mama Kathy, she can still call me Mama Sassy. :-)
Grandma Kathy
