A little funny

Elliana's at the stage when all her words sound alike. I know she's saying different things, but to the untrained ear, it all sounds the same. For example:

Bye-bye= "ba-ba"

Baby= "ba-ba"

Banana= "ba-ba-ba" (not totally, but you know what I mean. :) )

Bubbles= "bu-bu"

Dog= "dah"

Duck= "duh"

She says other words, but it seems like these are the ones she says a lot. Today while we were in the car, Elliana was pointing to her baby doll and said, "ba-ba" (baby). Noah said to me, "did she just say ba-ba? She's so great at saying ba-ba". It was so cute, he was really sincere...like, "wow! she's got that down pat!" :) Yes, sweet boy, she's very good at saying ba-ba."

Happy birthday, Noah

My sweet boy turned 3 on Saturday. 3? Already? We celebrated his birthday with a beach themed party--we had so much fun! I'll try and post pics soon, but here's a little taste of what the weather was like:

I guess I should have realized the power of the sun before I set out my centerpieces. sigh. Oh well. Atleast I hadn't set out the seashells in sand yet:
