Ivo spends half his waking hours pretending to be other, whether he's a generic, big/small dinosaur/monster/robot or a specific favorite charater; Spiderman, Stewie or Bender... It's hilarious and neat. He stays in character - and assigns characters to Ryan and me. If he's Spiderman, one of us is Green Goblin or possibly Astroboy. That's all fine.
Lately he's been Stewie (from Family Guy). That makes me-Lois and Ryan-Peter. Sometimes Burl gets to be Brian the Dog; sometimes not. This past week, Ivo's been all about Futurama which he romantically pronounces "Future Amour." He has a shirt (pic) which has a robot on it that he thinks is Bender. Ivo likes robots, so he's Bender, making me-Lela and Ryan-Fry. After repeated nagging about who Burl should be, Ivo has decided that Burl can be "a little green alien." No actual character, no name - in effect, an extra. Ivo sticks to his assignations, telling me "Lela, the little green alien need booby" and "little green alien sad, need bao bao."

So we can remember the answer in a few years... Ivo has gone from nursing once or twice a week to nursing once or twice a day, including nighttime-go-to-sleep-booby and somewhat less frequently, wake-up-booby. Clarifying: Ivo's you/me conflation is confined to objective case. Also he's all over me/mine and my.
I'm not sure whether this is related to Ivo nursing or not; over the past couple weeks, Burl has been waking up to nurse 4 or 5 times/night.
Also Burl giggles, is ticklish under his arms, his neck and when his thighs are squeezed. When he wakes up he's always so happy and smiley:) Burl is much more drooly than Ivo was. And I'm pretty sure he's starting to get his bottom 2 front teeth! Just about at the same time he turned 4 months old, Burl made the switch from S to M diapers. Burl kicks a lot. Kicked himself off the black couch and onto the tatami last week.
