I said "More Apple" at dinner last night. "Apple" came out loud and clear. Mommy was so pleased she fed me the whole thing less skin and seeds.

So far, I can say "DaDa", "MaMa", "BaBee", "Nana", "Wil", "MiMi", "Sssss" for Cece and "Shoe" without the "e". I say "Mmmm" and make the sign for "MORE", "EAT" or "MILK" when I'm hungry.

I say "Bur" for Bird and "Weeee" when we fly. I am also a polite little boy who signs "PLEASE" and "THANK YOU" when the time is right. "Ball", "Bowl" and "Boy" all sound like "Bowel". But I've got the "No" word down cold.

It's cute when I shake my head or my hand as I say no. But Mommy only smiles when I use that special word on things I can't hold.
