New Contractions...

...but not of the baby-forthcoming variety. Daniel has started using his own self-devised contraction in speech: amn't. Amn't is a concatenation of a shortened "am not," as in "I amn't hungry" but more commonly used as a response to a question. Example: "Daniel, are you ready for bed?"

"I amn't!"

He uses this contraction quite often, many times a day right now.
