Sense

Ethan has always been very articulate. But, every once in a while, he still comes out with some funny kid verbage. The other day he came running up to me after counting his money (a favorite pastime of late) and said, "Mom, I have way more cents than I thought I did." I had to laugh because of course I was thinking "sense."

Speaking of verbage, Gabe is now babbling away. He says, "Dad, Bye, Mom, Syd, Woof, Uh-oh." He tries really hard to say, "Ethan" and was even trying to copy me when I said, "I love you" the other day. He signs "more" and nods his head for yes and shakes his head for no. He still has not figured out how to crawl. He just goes backwards and in circles. I've been calling him "Little Scooter" lately . . . now I know where Scott's nickname came from.

I have to add something about Sienna now too I guess. Her latest thing is, "Awe, Mom." Perfectly drawn out to sound like a big kid completely disgusted by me (giving each word two syllables). The only thing is, it makes me smile every time she says it because she's so darn cute. I'm sure one day it will not be cute, but for now I just kind of turn my head and smile when she says it.
