The Daily Munchie: A few new words deciphered

A few new words deciphered

Stephen started saying "Hvoo-Hvoo" for owl and he's been saying this funny word for a long time: Ah-poo-geee!

Finally this morning it dawned on me what he was saying as he pointed to the apple juice bottle in the refrigerator.

"Munchie want apple juice?"
"Ah-poo-gee ah-poo-geeee!"

So cute.

He also likes to "count" pictures in some of his books, like the Very Hungry Caterpillar. His version of 1-2-3 is "Teee.... Taaaa.... Teee... Taaaa," in a really soft voice.

Here he is the other day, enjoying a banana.
