Taisei's a vegetarian. That's a premature assessment, but he definitely tends to prefer vegetables over the meat we provide him at mealtime, especially corn and broccoli. Here is proof.

Lately, whenever I call home, phone calls take longer than I expect. Taisei doesn't just know what the phone is for, he has to have long conversations with "Ba-ba" everytime he calls. It's really cute and I love to just sit and have conversations with him. Sometimes, it's not that convenient when I'm at work, sitting in a cube, surrounded by a bunch of other engineers, talking "baby-talk" at the top of my lungs. "Hi Baby! What did you do today? Were you a good boy?" etc. He definitely knows when I'm asking a yes/no question versus a "please explain" question because the answer is always an appropriate "Un!" for yes in Japanese, or a long and incoherent rambling of cute baby babble. Hopefully I can get a clip of it on here.
His favorite word lately is "ototo." He'll yell it over and over again. It means little brother. Wami asks him if he wants a brother or sister and the answer is always a resounding "ototo!" Maybe it's a sign of things to come. (No, that's not a hint - just speculation!)
