My Little Chatterboxes

Drew has always been a very vocal baby, but as of late, he is starting to be able to express himself in ways I can understand, rather than screaming. Today he actually said, "More cracker, please." Granted, it wasn't that clear; it sounded more like: "Muh cuckuh, peeeaaase." Drew says please for everything. We were in Shopko last week, looking at pool toys and Drew kept pointing at random things and saying, "Peeeaaase!" I've been trying to get Owen to say please, and his version sounds like "tease." It's very cute.
Owen, as a general rule, is the more quiet of the two boys. He's incredibly observant, and I think he's pretty sensitive to what is happening around him. Today, though, he was chatting on a toy phone, and "talked" more than usual. He was sitting at the foot of the stairs, saying all his favorite "words" like unguh and hey-o-bah, and suddenly he started laughing hysterically. Whoever he was chatting with (probably Grandpa or Dad) must have told a funny joke. It cracked me up, watching him. He usually walks around the room when he chats on the phone (I think he learned that from David, who kind of paces around when he talks), but today he just sat on the steps, laughing and chatting.

So cute when they are learning to talk. When our daughter was learning to talk she had her own language and our son could "understand her" and he would say, "she said she wants a cracker". I would then give her a cracker and she would shut up! Crazy, but true. Thankfully, she finally learned to speak Pennsylvania Dutch and later on, English! lol
