Toddler Talk & Basement Update

First off the fun world of Toddler Talk!
Gavin is a much slower talker than Raegan was. Although, he doesn't have much time to get a word in edgewise with his chatterbox of a sister. He says the typical "mama" and "dada" although Bob will still get called "mama" at times. I think he is getting "more" down. We have been trying to work with him to say a couple of words instead of screaming. We are not getting very far yet, but I'm sure it's sinking in. We don't give him anything without holding it in front of his face and telling him what it is about 5 times! He probably thinks we're idiots!

While Gavin isn't saying much, Raegan is quite the little chatterbox! She really picks up on what we say and it can sometimes come back to haunt us. She frequently yells at our dog "Cara, STOP IT!!" and sounds just like me. The past couple of nights, she has ended up sleeping on the couch after a long battle in the middle of the night to get her to stay into her bed. This morning, Bob asked her why she slept on the couch. Her response "because you put me there!" Then as we were all leaving for the morning, she yelled over to me "see you next week, mom!" Another of her favorites is "probably . . . . yes (or no!)." She is really fun and a realy character!

BASEMENT UPDATE . . . .
We have hired a contractor, Branim Custom Homes. The owner is an ex-cousin-in-law of Bob's. He and his crew came in to start framing today and we just got a call that they are on their way to get drywall. I am just so excited!! Not that much longer now!
