Titus isn't forming many sentences. He does string together a verb and an object or a subject and a verb occasionally, such as 洗手 (wash hands) or 妈妈抱 (mommy hold). I've been trying to teach him "I love you"/ 我爱你。 In this case he is producing the subject and the object, but not the verb, so he says "I you." Actually he usually says "I you. you you you!" He's also confused because the pronunciation for "love" in Chinese （爱）is quite similar to the word "I" in English.
As for Michael, he says "I You" in his own way. When playing with his dad, he has big eager eyes, as if entirely beguiled by his pops. When he's nursing he stops suddenly to look up and tell me something important and thoughtful, then back to the meal. He smiles at Titus and tries to follow him around the house. He erupts with giggles when big brother tickles him. Michael is such a darling!
This is what our boys looked like today, December 8th, 2010.
"he stops suddenly to look up and tell me something important and thoughtful, then back to the meal."
