More cheese

A quick photo free entry to give you a short story....
First off, as much as we love cheese, we don't get too much around here.  There's cheese in the market but your average cheddar is a bit pricy so we hold off.  However, the other day one of our friends bought us a big hunk of yummy cheddar from the US commissary.  This lovely present meant that snack time on Friday offered a wonderful opportunity to teach him not only the word cheese but also the sign for it.  Well, the next day he let his new love for cheese show when, for the first time, he used a two word sentence to ask for something that he wasn't already looking at.  Out of the blue (albeit around his usual afternoon snack time) Henry said (and signed) "More cheese?"  It's so fun watching him learn how to communicate his wants and thoughts.  On another note, we're starting to realize that he might think that "more" means "I want" but that's something we can stress over at another time.
