A First!

So I've finally done it. I started a blog. Iam hoping this will help my failing brain to remember all those little cute things that happen in our life. And even the not so cute things that might not be so funny now but maybe they will be someday. Speaking of firsts, Todd and I are experiencing a first as parents. I know its hard to believe after 11 years and 4 kids that there would be any firsts left. But we are experiencing the hilarious language of a child first learning to talk. I know we've had other kids that learned to talk but it was different with them. Our firstborn, Zach, was, and continues to be a freak. I mean that in a good way. He started talking at 2 in complete and in very clear sentences. I actually should say questions not sentences. Question after question after question. He was, and still is, very beyond his years. Now our second born Max just didn't talk. That's right not a word until he was 3 years old. Of course who could get a word in with Zach around. He made one sound that meant everything. It was ungungha. I highly doubt there is a correct spelling for that but phonetically that's the best I could do. Then at 3and 1/2 he started speaking in clear sentences. Now we have Lucas. His language is his own. It is so fun hearing him pronounce things and trying to decifer what he is saying. Todd and I have never had this before. It is a first for us. And frankly we are finding it quite entertaining. Isabella is entertaining in this way as well. She has a name for all of her brothers. Zach is Zah. Max is Mah. Lucas is Knute, or maybe it's newt. Not sure of the spelling but that's how it sounds. So no doubt this blog will consist of some pretty hilarious mispronounced words and sentences that have been giving us a lot of chuckles and hopefully you will get a laugh or two out of it also.
