Soon we'll be hearing that word amplified and screemed at a frequency that can shatter glass. Probably in a public place like a restaurant or a library. Until then we'll enjoy him as he is now; cogenial, happy baby (with the exception of when he's hungry or tired or needs new diapers).

His hunger is the one need that has been very demanding. Barb started to breast feed but the little guy wanted more than she was capable of producing. She started using a breast pump but she started feeling like she was on an overworked on a dairy farm. At present we're giving him all formula with cereal and nothing less than six ounces per bottle!
