He's "me"

For the last coupla days, Brett has been referring to himself as "me." We noticed this, well, because it's new and it made us wonder when/how he learned it.

According to the books, it's normal for parents to refer to themselves and their kids in the third person: "Baby want a cookie?" "Mama says no more cookies!" We do this because "me" and "you" changes depending who the speaker is — pretty confusing for someone just learning the language.

Brett still can't say his own name, but that hasn't stopped him from indicating pretty clearly when it's his turn to read, or when he wants something. He either points to his chest or points and says "Ba," the closest he gets to saying Brett.

He's developing his sense of self, I guess — pretty important thing to do. Does that mean he's growing up? Do we have to stop calling him Baby Brett too?
