Words I can say...

Now that Tavin can technically talk, I better stop talking for him! From now on I will do my best to write this blog in my own words :)

When Tavin was 18 months I decided to write down all the things he could say before there were too many to count. I wrote this list over the portion of an entire day we spent together and here's what I came up with:

By the way, now that he's inching up on 22 months, he is like a recorder... everything we say, he mimicks. He picks up at least a few words a day and stores them in the think tank... even the bad ones ;)Perhaps the cutest though is he is learning to pray. He folds his little hands together and when we're done (or sometimes in the middle) he says A-MEN! The other night when I was putting him to bed he just kept saying it even as I closed the door... what a little cutie pants.
