Life as a Bober: Talking, talking

It's been about 3 weeks since my last post and Cade's vocabulary keeps growing. Lately, it seems like there's a new word every day. Here's the growing list:
59. Fart - I can thank Sean for this one. I didn't really want our not-even-2 year old to say fart but he picked it up and now if you let one anywhere near him, he lets you know he heard it.
60. All gone - He is working on the difference between all done and all gone.
61. Eye - This is usually said while touching his eyeball or someone elses. We're still working on not touching eyes.
62. Dinner - He usually makes it almost into 2 words din - ner
63. Pop - This comes from a song from ECFE that we sing multiple times a day.
64. Fan - This popped out of his mouth while we were at Subway looking at the ceiling fans. He has always loved fans so I'm actually a little surprised that it took this long to say the word.
65. Phone (phono) - Sean got a new phone and I think Cade is in love. Well, they both are I think. There's no doubt that Cade is Sean's son. They are both techno geeks :). The other day he was holding the cordless phone and saying "dada". I asked him if he was talking to dada and he gave me a big nod and a "uh-huh".
66. Boom - Uncle Andy taught him this one during a pillow fight. However, when Cade "boomed" Phillip he was not impressed.
67. More - He usually says "more, more, more" and also signs in case I didn't get it.
68. Help - He uses our made up sign for help and then says help. He was whiny yesterday because he wanted me to do something for him. So, I told him to say "Help, mama." He did and he also said "Help, mama" to Sean :)
69. Poop - Cade and I were having a conversation on Sunday. He said, "Dada, boot on." I said, "Yep, Dada's boots are on because he's picking up trash in the backyard." Cade gave me his "ish" sound for trash. Then, I said, "Well, actually, dada is picking up poop from the dogs." Cade said, "poop." It's fun when we have a semi-conversation.
70. Burp - I guess he's truly a boy when burp and fart make the list of the first words.

Here's what we've been up to for the last 3 weeks. Cade and I went to pick up Belle from the vet after she had been gone for 10 days. There were 4 cats getting "discharged" that day and Cade wanted to look in all the empty kennels to find the cats. After our instructions from the vet, we finally got Belle. Cade and I were very happy and excited to see her. She has been back for almost 3 weeks and is doing really well and looks so much healthier.
Phil came down that same weekend and we went to brunch with him on Sunday and then to MOA. Cade was happy to spend some time with Grandpa Phil. Andy, Jill and Phillip met us at the mall too and we went to Underwater World. Cade likes the fish and especially likes getting to walk/run around by himself and splash in the water at the "petting zoo" part of the aquarium. I've taken Cade there a few times since we have a pass.

Look at that smile

Then, 2 weeks ago, we took care of Phillip on Saturday while Jill worked and Andy was on his way home from a business trip. It's fun to have the boys together. Phillip is busy learning how to talk too. He's got quite a few words already.

Last Thursday, my parents came down just because they missed Cade. Cade was excited to have bama and papa Reg here. He asked to be picked up by them quite a few times. In fact, my mom thought she was going to hurt her arm in Sam's club because Cade wanted to be carried everywhere. "Upadae bama." She was loving it, of course. Both grandma and grandpa had a good time playing with Cade. On Friday night, auntie Marcy and JR came over for dinner and some time with Cade. When Marcy told JR that my parents were coming because they missed Cade, he said he missed Cade too. :) I think Marcy has a good guy. My parents went home on Saturday and we headed up to the salon to get our hair cut. After Sean and Cade got their hair cut, they went to play with Phillip and Andy while I got my hair cut and colored. It works out really well that the girls get a chance to talk and the boys get a chance to play. We stayed for dinner and Andy cooked a wonderful Thai dish. Getting my hair done and having someone else make dinner is a great day for me.
