These are just the things Henry can consistently and intentionally say. He also has a huge passive vocabulary, and he can repeat anything you say (to your occasional chagrin). He will be 18 months old on Dec 3 and obviously enjoys using language, loves knowing the names of things. He seems way more verbal than the other three kids at his babysitter's -- then again, they are all bilingual. Henry, for the moment, is a little monoglot. Archana sometimes speaks to him in Hindi, and I've seen him look like he understands and do what she says, but I've never seen him answer in Hindi. As for Russian, I am totally dropping the ball.
