Pine-pine

Yesterday we enjoyed a surprise visit from John's godmother Loretta and one of her seven children as they were passing through our city!
We think the way John calls porcupines "pine-pine" is so cute that we tried to videotape it. Here are the disappointing results:

I hit the "stop" button and said, "Never mind, John knows we're filming." John replied with an enthusiastic, "pine-pine!" Just now while uploading this video, I showed it to him and he must have shouted, "pine-pine!" half a dozen times.

Also, as of this morning, John is now calling a helicopter a "cop-cop."

John has never shown much interest in stuffed animals, but in the last week has been playing with a green frog given to him last Christmas. He immediately called the frog, "meow." Normally John is right on and if he says "meow," he sees a cat, but this time I really thought he was off his rocker. For days I corrected him, telling him it was a frog. Finally I noticed a tag on the frog's bottom with the logo for the maker of the toy: a cat! So, now we've dubbed him "Meow the frog."

  1. Cute! Isn't it so frustrating when you're trying to get your baby to do something on tape and he won't? That happens to me all the time! I just spent the past 15 minutes trying to film Leo getting into a crawling position with no luck! Still, the video you posted was cute!

  2. That's hilarious about meow the frog! Isn't it funny and kind of embarrassing when they are insistent on something we're sure they are totally wrong about and they turn out to be right? It doesn't stop happening when they learn to talk, either. :-) What a silly manufacturer to put a picture of a different animal on the animal's bottom. LOL.
