look who's talking - russell has been testing out his vocal cords lately. just this weekend, he seems to have discovered shouting. he's not just crying loudly, but screaming for attention from his parents. he usually shouts when he's left alone or when he wants to play. he saves crying for when he's tired or hungry. i think he'll be forming words soon. naturally, i've been trying to get him to say 'da da' or 'ba ba'--the latter is chinese for 'father'.

about ten days ago, russell turned three months old. he's changed quite a bit from his more youthful days. time has passed so quickly. you can check out his latest pictures here.
