Didn't Gavin turn out adorable in that first panel?  I had a lot of fun imagining what Daria would consider fun baby-sitting activities to share with her nephew, so this strip reflects that.  I believe that new word of Gavin's -- "buttons" -- is the first word he's learned that doesn't end with an "ee" sound (excluding "trouble" and "yes" and "no"), but I'm not entirely sure.  Either way, it's a significant new word for him to have learned, since it's specific concept, not just a general concept or a person.
