    Lovely chapter! I love the Old Sev/Baby Sev thought patterns. They make me laugh.

    I was thinking that Harry might have nearly 3 years of terrible 2's to deal with--as I've always been told that the major problem is that a 2 year old Know what they want to "say" but doesn't have the skills to convey their ideas--causing large ammounts of frustration on everyone's part and thus-tantrums. The baby sign language is a great idea!

    Looking forward to that shopping trip (and Remus and Tonks and Teddy of course!)

    I'm loving this story so far, but since not everybody is familiar with the baby sign language I hope this can help

    I hope you don't mind I posted that in my review. It can be useful(in real life too)!

    What to say, what to say. In this land (meaning HP fandom) of huge illogical plotholes and OOC, I find your fic very-well rounded, smooth, not overriden with flowery descriptions and interesting. Not to mention just cute, but not sickeningly so =) I'll admit I have my doubts about the appearance of Ginny and what it entails, but I liek totally give your fic a chance in spite of it (you _are_ a sci major, you can't screw it up too awfully, right? -- my line of thinking). _And_ you plan out your fics beforehand. So I'm waiting for more *nod* ^__^

    Hello there!

    Well, first of all, let me tell you one thing. I love your story. I know the idea came from Dramagirl007, but I love how the story is going so far.

    I read Dramagirl's first story, the prequel, and I loved it until certain point. But, it was nice. Then, I read it's sequel, and I must admit, I grew tired of it. Yet, I think and hope yours would be different. For one thing, you give many small details, and I just love that. You seem to have much emphasis on your mistakes and that's good.

    Oh! Just an observation, some sentences are not finished. I think this is more of an error of the site, becuase I've been finding other stories with this problems (though you're the first I tell you this.) But the sentences are just missing. Like, we just saw Minerva tell Harry to call her by her first name, he then blushes and says, "Oh
    And that's it. And then, He calls her Nana. I was like, uh? But, I like how they seem to form a bond.

    In my way of thinking, Albus is like a grandpa (slightly annoying at times, and very manipulating, but with a good heart), Minerva like a grandma, and Poppy like an aunt to Harry. And it seems that you're doing this in your stories.

    One question, will Sev keep his memories? Because it'll be very hard for Harry to raise a child with an adults memory. Oh...I can just see trouble ahead with that lab if Sev keeps his memories when he learns to walk.

    Talking abotu walking, I loved that scene. I could just see it. He is kind of advanced for his age, since five month old can barely sit by themselves...i think. Anyway, I don't have kids or babies around. So?
    I loved the way he explained what had happened in the last chapter. He was not crying becuase Harry was not in the room, oh no, he was crying becuase his translation device was leaving him. And he was so not cuddling to Harry, he was making sure IT was not going away again.

    Well, to sum it up, I hope you update soon. I hope your story keeps being as interesting as it is now, and I do hope you listen to your readers...or read what your readers write to you.

    Update soon, and I'll be waiting for it! Also, please don't make Ginny an annoying person, some make her just TOO demanding, making seem as if Harry has no say when she says something. To my point of view, Harry can be kind of stuborn, and Ginny isn't a total general when it comes to home life. And don't go too fast either! Baby Snape is just TOO cute! I can't just wait for the toddler, but I am happy with being the baby!

    Ok, have to go now. Again, update soon. Bye!

    Author's Response:

    Wow! I must say. Thanks for the review! I don't normally ask for reviews in my stories because I think that detracts from the story itself. But that's not to say I don't obsess over them every time I post a new chapter. To say that would be lying because I do! Lol! :) I appreciate them greatly, so thank you.

    I just wanted to reply to a few things. Firstly, I think those missing sentences are either a site error or a browser error on either the site's end or your browser's end. When I checked a while ago, all my sentences appeared complete. Specifically, the part you were referring to looked complete to me. McGonagall tells Harry to call her Minerva and Harry blushes and says to call her by her first name seems disrespectful to him. Thus, he opted to go with an idea of his to call her Nana. McGonagall, of course, accepts, saying she'd be honored, and it carries on from there. I'm sorry if you weren't able to read the full extent of that scene. Perhaps if you try switching browsers? That may be it. Perhaps its a formatting error. (I'm sorry...I'm a tech junkie. :P Comes with being a science major) Lol! 

    To answer your question, yes, Sev will indeed keep his memories. However, if you step back and look at the science behind the story, it might give you a hint as to how little Sev's character will develop. Actually, I may have already inserted a hint in this chapter. If you look closely enough, you'll be able to find it. The hint will be explained in detail, of course, in a later chapter, but it's there. Sev's mind is a mighty mysterious thing, and Harry's just beginning to figure it out. ;) There's a particular phrase in one sentence that, if googled, will offer some insight into the development of our little potions master. :D

    And thank you for your compliments about the walking/crawling scene. A bit of a confession--when I started writing this piece a few months ago, I performed a bit of a counting error. It was only...two days ago, when I was outlining the rest of the story, that I realized my mistake. When I originally wrote this, I had Sev at six months old instead of five, which makes a world of difference (sort of) when you're an infant. But I opted to go with the excuse that "babies develop at different rates" to make it seem a bit more logical. Although that is pretty much correct-- babies do develop at different rates. I can't tell you how many youtube videos I watched on baby development (in my research for this story) that said that exact sentence over and over again. :P The babble may seem a bit advance, also, but picture yourself in the scene, listening to a five-month-old utter those strings of consonants and syllables. It's not going to seem very advance to you then, I guarantee you. :P Lol! 

    And thanks for the thing about Ginny. I'm already about halfway done with the story, so there's not much I can change about that now, but I'll keep that in the back of my mind. Actually, looking back at it, I don't think I made her too demanding. She's a right firecracker, that's for sure, and she makes her opinion known, but Harry's still up in there, arguing right on back. No...I don't think she's that demanding. She and Harry have an equal share in running the household, I reckon, looking back at all these chapters. 

    Anyway, thanks a lot for the review! I appreciate it greatly! And please, do keep them coming. :)

    Goodnight!

    Oh my gosh, I absolutely loved the "idiot" line. I burst out laughing because it is such a Severus thing to do. I can't wait for the next update. Love it so far!

    Oh wow, this story is awesome. I'm glad that I have inspired you with my story Harry Potter and the Deaged Potions Professor which is on Fanfiction.net and not here yet. It surprised me when I saw my pen name up there. Thanks for that because now I feel special. :) Keep up the good work with this story and please update ASAP. :)

    Baby Snape!!!! Awwwww... I love this kind of fluffy story! I especially like that he has his memories, so there will be lots of interaction with him trying to get his opinions understood!

    I look forward to reading more.
