Bilabial Trills

Recently Jesse has begun making lots of bilabial trills (basically a vibrating 'b' sound). It's not unusual for me to lay him down for a nap, only to hear him wake up 5 minutes later working on this sound. It must be really fascinating for him. And sometimes it takes lots of spit to make this sound, as you can see from the video. Can you tell he's the son of a linguist?
