Is there anything sadder...

than a sick baby losing his voice? Luke still has most of his lower-toned vocals, but when he gets really upset and the pitch rises, he cuts right out. Oh so sad. He's been talking to me a lot, too - generally mild grumbling with only occasional real fits.

In other vocal-news, I've noticed a distinct change in Luke's babbling. While the Wus were here with 8 month old David, it was striking how much his babbling sounded like "speech." Luke (six weeks old at the time) mostly sounded like a kitten, mewing and crying. Now, Luke is using consonants as well as vowel sounds, often in two-syllable phrases like "laa laa" or "mao lao." I've heard lots of soft consonants, including d, m, g, r, h, and l.
