I'll post Thunder Bay photos ASAP (later tonight twins-permitting), but first the big news. In the past week Jacob started saying his first word. Given that the word is "agooo" it is possible that only his parents are excited. Given that when Jacob paired his word with a smile, his mother pronounced, "Now he's speaking in sentences", it's possible that at least one of us has lost all perspective. Agooo seems to be a multi-purpose word. Since it arose in T-Bay for the first time, I suspect that the original meaning was "holy crap, it's cold up here".
Here's a video of a scintillating conversation between Jacob and Kate.
I won't say how many takes the video took, but here's an example of how lame it looks when Jacob is not participating in an Agoooo conversation.

This is hysterical! I actually think Jacob is speaking Amurdag, giving hope to linguists around the world that it can be revived! (There is only one other known living speaker...).
Or perhaps a northern language, in which case Agoo likely means "I think it is going to snow". Evidently, Jacob does not yet speak Sheep. Nice try Kate!
