We're thoroughly enjoying Hannah's words these days. She had been substituting a ya or wa sound for L for a long time, and we decided to see if we could get her to fix it. So we practiced a few times - mostly in the car - and heard lots of "la-wa", and "luh, luh, wuv." Then rather suddenly, it worked.
So now she says these really exaggerated L's in her words, and it's hilarious. "Ba-lue," "Llongmont," "Aunt Ca-laire." I'll try to capture some on video soon. We even have L's where Y's belong, which makes for "lellow" and the like. Add this to our recent favorites - "rasnaut" (restaurant) and "overgirls" (overalls) and you have frequent giggles from the parents. Very fun.
We have passed the end of our rescission period on our to-be-built house, so work has started and we're on the way to being homeowners again! Here are some photos of the new foundation and the interior of another home in the neighborhood with the same floorplan. Kitchen cabinets and counter will be the same, but tile is different throughout. Should you care to see more, the builder is Markel homes and the floorplan is the Flatiron. They've made some minor changes in the plan, and ours is a 3-car garage, but you should be able to find the floorplan somewhere on that site if you search around enough.
