Bob



Liam talks all the time now, but he still can't say some things, but he makes up his own word, or we translate what he's trying to say into something completely different perhaps, and some people have ended up with nick names based on what he can say.

Amanda started being Panna -from another little friend she babysits just a little bit older than Liam. So that one was sort of already set, and she is Panna. Rebekah is Bekah for really the first time on a regular basis at home. Hannah is Nannah (a bit confusing sometimes with Panna). Sariah started being RaRa with younger siblings of two different friends of hers, so she is RaRa. Marissa started being called Marissa Roo somehow as a young child, and Liam has picked up on it and she is Roo Roo and sometimes Rooie. he says several of the kids friends names, but his favorite is Bob! Now Bob isn't really named Bob, but when he started saying this friend's name, Caleb - it came out Leb or Lub and that QUICKLY turned into Bob, and now that is just his name! Bob is nearly one of the family. Liam Loves Bob! We think it has something to do with the amount of estrogen at our house, and Bill isn't home during the day, so Bob is his best friend!

Bob lives across the street and has two older brothers. We've nearly adopted Bob, and he is over pretty much every day. His family went on vacation the same week the girls went to camp, then for whatever reason he wasn't really around and Sariah took another week 'off' of school, and even Rebekah started asking where Bob was at? Why wasn't he over here, she hadn't seem him lately.

Shortly after we built Liam's room, Bob was over and Liam took him by the hand and took him upstairs to play! It was so cute! When Bob leaves our house to go home he gets upset, when he hears the knocking on the front door, he runs, yelling Bob! Bob! Bob is very patient and kind to actually play with Liam, and the other day when I was gone (Perhaps last week when I was at one of the births), he climbed up on the couch next to Bob, crawled onto his lap and fell asleep. How cute is that?!?
