She's an Original!

Yes, that is a belt around her head.  She put it on this morning.  I'm not sure if she really knew what she was doing.  I'm betting that she thought it was a crown of some sort.  She really knows how to pull an outfit together though.  She's wearing a purple shirt and pink pants that only sort of match (mommy was in a hurry this morning), and this belt thing makes the whole outfit! :D

Yours, mine, Daddy's!

Since Cadence has learned to say baby, daddy AND mommy, she has become acutely aware of ownership.  Just about every night during dinner this week she's pointed out whose cup and plate is whose.  It's really cute!

We also went to the Western Idaho Fair today.  SO MUCH FUN! 

The reward's a little low.  I think she's worth a lot more than $1000! :)

It's probably not the most reverent thing to take cell phone pictures during sacrament meeting but Cadence was being so cute with her friend playing with a Mr. Potato Head, I couldn't resist!

AND Cadence learned how to say MOMMY today! I heard Derek teaching her in the other room and it was the cutest thing!

Finally!

I'm a first time mom so I worry.  Probably more than I should but hey, that's what moms are for, right?

So until this week, Cadence hasn't said much.  Her first word was ball when she was about 18 months old, and then car and kitty.  And that's about all she said for a loooong time.  Over the last month, she's added daddy, num-num, no, meow, and a weird dog growl/bark.  She'd occasionally say bye, and nite-nite.

But now she says all of those things regularly, PLUS hello (into a phone), guy, eat, Yi, duck (guck, that's my favorite), flag, and EW!  Hooray for Cadence!

Bonus picture!  She's trying to play the Wii with Daddy! :)

Our Trip to the Lake

Cadence had a ton of fun looking for rocks to throw with Daddy!
