Raven has learned to clap and is quite pleased with this development.  I like it because I can say a joke and she claps which makes me feel like I'm an incredibly witty person although she probably doesn't even understand what I'm saying.  In fact, I talk to Raven all day because she is the only one around, similar to that of a crazy cat lady.  I have a feeling Raven will be the type of toddler who says very inappropriate things in mixed company in which I'll have to tell her that's not appropriate though I will be laughing on the inside.  She does have this gene, I cussed in front of the president of Purdue once and although mortified, he told me "It happens to the best of us."  As of right now, Raven can only mumble which furthers my theory that babies are similar to little drunk human beings.  I just hope her first word isn't a cuss word.
