Baby Language

I have an ongoing list for both Andrew and Abigail's baby words.  Since they are 2 and 3 1/2 years old and I've never written one word in either of their baby books (I'm too busy taking pictures which not one of has ever been printed), I just have the words on 2 pieces of scrap paper.  The other day, I thought I lost these lists.  However, I have since found these lists and am going to write them in this blog entry so I am never in jeopardy of losing them again.
