On what the baby can say

The baby can now say many words and so has decided that sentences are the only way forward. His version of a sentence needs some slight rearrangement ("Cup all gone, more cup?") but on the whole he's doing very well with the whole speaking thing.

Given that he's only 18 months I think that being able to say, "My Daddy a man." is a grand achievement.

In other news he has become obsessed with Nee-naws and wakes up first thing in the morning saying, "Nee naw? Nee naw?" because he once saw one go up the road out of his bedroom window first thing in the morning and now thinks this should be a regular occurrence.

He also sits in the car whispering, "Nee naw, Nee NAW, NEE NAW." over and over again like a little mantra, as if saying it repeatedly will somehow attract them to him; The mating call of an emergency vehicle.
