When we talked to him on the phone tonight Carson had some choice words for him. He has long been repeating the sounds da da and ma ma and many others, but we don't know how many of them are really applied, and when he says them he usually just keeps saying them making it feel like he's just enjoying that sound rather than naming anything. But when talking to Travis and asked to say Da Da, he looked right at the phone and repeated it. Then repeated Ma Ma for us.
Later at the dinner table I was looking for a repeat performance but more specifically I was looking for "Avery." Many times it has appeared to me that Carson is yelling "A-ee" directly at his brother when trying to get his attention. Sure enough, at dinner, when asked to say "Avery" we heard a very clear "A-ee." What fun.
We miss you Daddy! Hurry home to us!

That's great! How fun to listen to him start talking and actually mean something.
Oh that's exciting! Too bad Travis is on rotation! My Travis just did one last week and again next week! I think we may tag along this next time though.
Great Job Carson!
Way to go Carson. Make yourself heard!
