The baby book says that pronouns are confusing to babies, so parents should replace pronouns with proper nouns instead. It seems to Michael that language doesn't make a whole lot of sense to babies in general, not just pronouns. But, Michael defers to the wisdom of the book. Plus, Michael is not going to pass up this rare opportunity for shameless third person speech. Michael likes.
Michael thinks Cameron is trying to escape. Michael watches Cameron on the video monitor and sees Cameron training. Cameron exhibits secret feats of strength in the quiet shadows of his room that Cameron would never show in the light of day. Cameron sits up on Cameron's own from a prone position. Cameron spins around the crib, contorting Cameron's body into various yoga-like poses. Cameron's hidden skills are impressive, yet frightening, to Michael. Cameron has taken to repetitively banging Cameron's pacifier against the side of the crib. Michael fears that he might be slowly forging an escape route a la Shawshank Redemption. Michael checks to see if Cameron is hiding wood fragments in his onesies and slowly transferring them to the yard. Michael fears the day is coming when Cameron will sign asking for a poster to put up in his crib. Cameron's motto is "you better get busy crawling, or get busy staying here." Cameron thinks it's time to go.

Ed thinks Michael needs to pull his nose out of the books and be daddy. Get in that room and stop the insanity. Make him toe the line and stop the banging on the bars.
