Alden is developing his vocabulary, and it is so nice for us. Yesterday when I was taking off his pants, he said, “Papi took off!” We’ve been waiting for a long time for him to start stringing words together. He’s going to love communicating better.

The day before, he called “Eden” by her right name by himself for the first time. When he learned to talk, he called her “Hen.” Even though he has been able to pronounce all those letters for a long time, he had stuck to his original nickname.

One of his enunciation issues is with the “tr” sound. When he tries to say a word like “truck” he pronounces it with an “F”. It doesn’t sound very polite.
