Older Brother Devlin

Aisling has been adding to her vocabulary of words every day. It seems like just yesterday she would point and grunt for her bottle. Now, she will say "milk please" while pointing to her bottle or while taking you to the fridge. She will pull you over to the couch, and pat the cushions while requesting of you "sit please", although it sounds like "seet peese". She'll also run to the fridge to request "cheese", and her favorite treats are "Cheep" (chips) and "coo-coo" (cookie).
At bedtime, she points to her books, says "night-night book" and snuggles against me while I read her bedtime stories. If she hears her older siblings march into the bathroom to brush their teeth, she wiggles off the bed while shouting "brush tee". Of course, her most favorite word, or it seems like the one she uses most frequently is "Mommy".

The other night, while Aisling and Devlin were in the tub, this was the conversation we overheard.
D: Aisling, what's this?
A: Fish (or rather feees)
D: Can you say "boat"?
A: Boot
D: Can you say "duck"?
A: Duck
D: Can you say "dolphin"?
A: Duh.
D: It's easy. Say Doll-fin.
A: Duh.
D: DOLL FIN!
A: No.
D: Just try it - doll-fin.
A: NO!

Well, you have to give him credit. He's trying to be the big brother and teacher.
