I think there are even more, but I can't think of them right now. Your first phrase was "my bottle" and you have more now.  There is also a great deal that you can understand.  You like helping Mommy and in fact you call me either Mom (like Harry does) or Mun-ee.  You call your father, Daddy most of the time.  You are already a very good communicator.  Your words are not totally clear, but you can make yourself understoood and slowly but surely people outside the family are beginning to understand you a well.

Okay, that's it for now.  Your brother is home from school and so things are about to get exciting (you are still napping since you went down for your nap a little late today).  Sweet dreams, my sweetest of boys.
