I love you

Daniel is repeating everything. It's great to realize what "sticks" with him and to know that we can teach him words so he can communicate more clearly with us. "Reach," "flowers (fowers)," "weeds," and "playground" (sounds like paygund) are new ones this week. As is, "I love you" (I wub ooo). We tell him this all of the time, and now he says it back, often at the top of his lungs. Does this mean he understands what the phrase means? I guess you can't really know until he says it first. No matter though - it melts our hearts to hear it.
