"Yes, brother, yes!"

So Cody has started having a real imagination. It's so much fun to listen to his describe his "dreams" and to find him in his crib in the morning in the midst of a fort he's built, calling it his "minivan" (he made rows of stuffed animals in "seats"), his "swing," his "chimney" (this from Mary Poppins, I think), and so on. He's also started doing voices for everyone. For instance, he'll say to Patches, "Oh Patches, I love you so much! Do you want to sit with me for lunch?" and then a second later, in a high-pitched voice, "Yes Cody, I do! And I love you too!"

He's also started speaking for Cordelia (something I suspect will happen for years; I doubt she'll ever talk, as she'll have no need to). This is hilarious, because Cordelia always happens to give him the exact answer he's hoping for. Example: "Cordelia, may I please have one of your crackers? Of course you can, brother! Here is a cracker! [taking it off of her tray]" or "Cordelia, may I please have that toy you are holding? Yes, brother, yes! I would be happy to share my toy with you! Thank you Cordelia [taking it out of her hand, beaming. She, of course, beams back, basking in his smile.]" She's endlessly accommodating.
