I especially love hearing Reid say his sister's name. Somehow Olivia in his language is Be-bop, or sometimes (when speaking more formally) O-Be-Bop. It's tough to get him to perform on cue for the camera, but here's a bit of him speaking his language with some not-so-subtle encouragement from Mommy.
He says something new everyday and often surprises me with the words he knows and things he understands. We really have to watch what we say around him! It's so fun to see his verbal skills developing, but part of me wishes I could hit a pause button and Olivia could be Be-bop forever. Oh well, maybe the name will stick and she will always be our sweet little Be-bop.
