The last few months, Baird and I have been concerned that he isn't saying as many words as his sister did at this age.  (almost 2)  She was chatting up a storm by two, and if you know her she hasn't stopped yet.  Ash knows some words... like shoe (thanks meg!) and bye bye and animal sounds... car, dog, go, yay, hi. bye... and more... but we were a little concerned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has been pointing at letters lately and making sounds.  At least thats what I thought he was doing.  The other day, he found some of Zoe's old flashcards with letters on them....  He was going through them, picking one up and saying something, then going to the next.  I really wasn't paying too much attention, I think I was being El Tigre for Zoe... then I stopped and started looking at what he was doing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And amazingly, he knew some of the letters!  He seems to know E and O and L and X and M (says Mmmmmmmm) and H.  OH MY GOODNESS... where did he learn that?  He knows like ten letters!

Now we think it would be smarter to not build with the market the way it is, and buy a house &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;that's&lt;/span&gt; a steal. The steps sound easy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Find a House&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Make an Offer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Buy House&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Move in&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've yet to make it past step one. We've found places where we LOVE the backyard, but the house is horrid.... places where we love the house, but the yard leaves something to be desired .. houses that are perfect in every way except that we aren't rich. Out out out of our price range.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now we are considering putting an offer on a house, but first Baird wants to know that he can take the kitchen that has a weird set up and make it normal. I spend some time drawing up the floor plan, and come up with a great option. I thought I'd mail it to Baird at work but didn't want to find the scanner and mess with that. So I attempted to draw it in Microsoft Paint. It made me giggle... so thought I'd upload it here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156572699542933042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_toMrn91F-eo/R4_TjK67zjI/AAAAAAAAABE/eyhvXAP8yQ4/s320/kitchenplan.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2115154186679175088-7393479674260097753?l=mommyhoodjourney.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mommyhoodjourney.blogspot.com/feeds/7393479674260097753/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2115154186679175088&amp;postID=7393479674260097753' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2115154186679175088/posts/default/7393479674260097753'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2115154186679175088/posts/default/7393479674260097753'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mommyhoodjourney.blogspot.com/2008/01/to-buy-or-build-or-sit-or-stay-or-live.html' title='To buy or build or sit or stay or live in a box...'/><author><name>Mara</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04028936346497663250</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_toMrn91F-eo/SI3gwj4s-PI/AAAAAAAAALg/-XWS-xZo37A/S220/ashmararace.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_toMrn91F-eo/R4_TjK67zjI/AAAAAAAAABE/eyhvXAP8yQ4/s72-c/kitchenplan.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115154186679175088.post-7766773293890627370</id><published>2008-01-17T13:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T20:56:41.410-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A crafty afternoon</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_toMrn91F-eo/R4_IJq67zfI/AAAAAAAAAAk/1ifYHmC8X9M/s1600-h/zoashcrafting.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156560166828363250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_toMrn91F-eo/R4_IJq67zfI/AAAAAAAAAAk/1ifYHmC8X9M/s320/zoashcrafting.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_toMrn91F-eo/R4_IJq67zgI/AAAAAAAAAAs/6IVC8lMJ17o/s1600-h/zoecolor.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156560166828363266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_toMrn91F-eo/R4_IJq67zgI/AAAAAAAAAAs/6IVC8lMJ17o/s320/zoecolor.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_toMrn91F-eo/R4_IJ667zhI/AAAAAAAAAA0/aEofS8cLcKc/s1600-h/Ashcolor.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156560171123330578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_toMrn91F-eo/R4_IJ667zhI/AAAAAAAAAA0/aEofS8cLcKc/s320/Ashcolor.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here we are after nap, doing our favorite thing.... crafting.

Also, I always feel like I should help them since its my house they are cleaning.  So instead of helping... I leave.  :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We headed to Jack in the Box and ate some very good, but very fattening sandwiches. Ash and Zoe will only eat a Supreme &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Croissant&lt;/span&gt; with cheese (no ham or egg or bacon). I have to repeat my self several times to the woman/man on the other end of the speaker. Here's a sample:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: I'd like a Supreme &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Croissant &lt;/span&gt;with a diet coke and two more &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;croissants&lt;/span&gt; with only cheese.&lt;br /&gt;Them: &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Ma am&lt;/span&gt;, the supreme &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;croissant&lt;/span&gt; comes with cheese, would you like extra cheese.&lt;br /&gt;Me: No, ONLY cheese please&lt;br /&gt;Them: It comes with cheese&lt;br /&gt;Me: I'd like a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;croissant&lt;/span&gt;, put cheese on it, close it.. give it to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Then&lt;/span&gt; the same guy comes on and saves me and says, two &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;croissants&lt;/span&gt; with cheese... I think he lives there. He is always there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby is throwing himself on the floor in despair... more later.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2115154186679175088-3993225363660462308?l=mommyhoodjourney.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mommyhoodjourney.blogspot.com/feeds/3993225363660462308/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2115154186679175088&amp;postID=3993225363660462308' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2115154186679175088/posts/default/3993225363660462308'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2115154186679175088/posts/default/3993225363660462308'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mommyhoodjourney.blogspot.com/2008/01/its-cold.html' title='It&apos;s cold!'/><author><name>Mara</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04028936346497663250</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_toMrn91F-eo/SI3gwj4s-PI/AAAAAAAAALg/-XWS-xZo37A/S220/ashmararace.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115154186679175088.post-8065810824465301974</id><published>2008-01-16T12:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T20:56:41.568-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Countdown:  Five, Four....</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;So here I am! Thrilled and excited to be starting a blog of my very own. I had about an hour free, so I sat down and started the process of starting this here blog. Little did I know, that it would take fifty of those sixty mintues, agonizing over what in the world I should call my blog. Toyed with adding my name... Mara's Mommyhood Adventures. My kids names.... The many Adventures of Zoe and Ash (reminscient of Winnie the Pooh)... I thought perhaps, if it was THEIR blog.. they should learn how to type (and read and write... being one and four.. they aren't quite there yet) and since it is MY new blog, I should leave some room for me to discuss other topics besides them (if there ever happens to be ANY)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So now, I've got a total of five minutes to write and post this very first, and very important, blog message. If I take any more time, I will not have the time to get to my daughters school to pick her up. I'm not sure that the excuse... "I'm sorry I was not here on time, but I REALLY had to finish my very first blog entry" ... would go over all that well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For all those more experienced bloggers out there. Did you get buyers remorse after clicking that button that sealed your blog name? Did you wonder if your title was just super lame? If you should take more time and do some research and come up with something that would describe you so much more completely than the one you chose? I certainly do... of course I am comforted by the fact that there is no one that knows this blog exists yet. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;One minute to go... so I'm going to leave and post this picture of two of the most important people in the world to me. And whose stories and lives will be the driving force and the content behind probably every post in this thing I call a blog.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156174641973939682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_toMrn91F-eo/R45phK67zeI/AAAAAAAAAAc/ZSTObOuW25M/s320/smallavatar200.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2115154186679175088-8065810824465301974?l=mommyhoodjourney.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mommyhoodjourney.blogspot.com/feeds/8065810824465301974/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2115154186679175088&amp;postID=8065810824465301974' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2115154186679175088/posts/default/8065810824465301974'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2115154186679175088/posts/default/8065810824465301974'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mommyhoodjourney.blogspot.com/2008/01/countdown-five-four.html' title='Countdown:  Five, Four....'/><author><name>Mara</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04028936346497663250</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_toMrn91F-eo/SI3gwj4s-PI/AAAAAAAAALg/-XWS-xZo37A/S220/ashmararace.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_toMrn91F-eo/R45phK67zeI/AAAAAAAAAAc/ZSTObOuW25M/s72-c/smallavatar200.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
