Just Call Me Karl....

This past week we have had company with a couple different families. Before they arrived and during their stay I worked hard at working with Andrew on the names of those who were coming. For some reason while our friends/family were here....if he couldn't remember the name, Andrew called them Karl. So if you come to our house and Andrew calls you Karl....he really isn't confused......

As Andrew learns to talk more he has been involved in some heavy duty conversations.....they usually start with him jabbering quite intently with nonsense words. He truly thinks he is saying something, but we have no clue. The only thing to do is respond as if he had said something so intelligent! Andrew has been learning to say Brett's name. For the longest time he called (and we did too) him brother...because he could say it well as oppose to calling him "beh". So over the past week or so, Andrew has ventured out to calling Brett by his name instead of brother. The humorous thing is, is that Andrew can't really say his "r's" yet....so until then Brett is known as "Butt".

Brett is now 6 months old. He is rolling over tons and enjoying being around his brother and the toys that he is playing with. Brett continues to love to stand and jump in the jolly jumper. We are working on exploring sitting....as well as he is exploring the use of his feet when he is on his tummy.

Richard and I are enjoying being here. We love the camp and all the fun that it brings, but we are also being really stretched in our abilities to take on a bigger load than expected.
