Trying not to forget

The day we took Emma home from the hospital

When we became new parents so many people told us how quickly it would fly by and to savor every moment and try to write things down so we will remember when they're grown all the little things the kids would do.  Well, that's part of why I started this blog.  Since I always wanted to do baby books but really never did a great job at it I figure this is sort of the family scrap book to remember some of our little moments.  It's just easier to type and drag photos than it is to sit with a physical book and have pictures printed to add in, etc. (at least for me)!

So with that said, right now Tony and I are constantly reminded of the girls getting a grasp on the English language.  As goes with being a parent to toddler/preschool age kids they frequently have us cracking up- sometimes with their actual words and sometimes with the way they use their words.  Love it.

Here are some of our current favorites:

Ada
"Kilgren" = children
"Yesternight"= last night
"Sank You" = thank you (they both say this)
"65" = this is the unit of measure that lets you know it's a wicked lot.  Like what a grown up might call a million or more.

Emma
"soor, soor, soor"= sure
"noonoos"= noodles
"all my by self" = all by myself
expressing emotion through her belly button= "that tickles my belly button", "that hurts my belly button"
"how yabout?"= how about
"I tell you someping?" = can I tell you something? (usually followed by a rambling story filled with giggle breaks, or a simple I love you)

Sadly I know there are already things I have forgotten, and some that I will keep just for me, but I try and that's what I need to focus on :)
