Cute Things Finny Does, Part I

I know these are things I'm going to forget when he goes to college. So, before that happens:

1. He says "baby creen" instead of "baby cream." And, when he gets some on his hands, he always asks if it is okay if he puts it on his butt. Why his butt? I have no idea.

2. Whenever you ask him how many of something there are, he says "fourteen." Lots of babies have a favorite number like this, that they use for everything. But usually it is three or four; how did he get fourteen? It is also so funny sometimes... like I'll say, "Hey Finny, do you want any brothers or sisters?" And he'll say, "Yeah!" So I say, "How many?" And he says, "Fourteen!"

3. I believe he really thinks that kissing a boo-boo will make it better. And, after you kiss his boo-boo he'll say, "Daaaanks!" ("Thanks," for those of you who don't know Finnytalk.)

4. Sometimes he say, "Mommy, what's that?" And I'll say, "It's a microwave." And he'll say, "My-co-ave? OoooOOOO! My-co-ave!" It's the cutest thing ever.

5. He always announces "Right back!" before he runs away somewhere.

6. If he tries to do something, like fix a toy, open a door, etc. that is above his difficulty level, he'll try half-heartedly only once, and then say immediately, "Too hawd, Mommy!"

7. When I'm working on the computer, he asks if he can "See babies, quick?" Meaning, he wants to look at videos of himself when he was a baby. Just last night, we were watching a video of him, perhaps 10 months old, trying desperately to talk. He says, "Mommy, Finny talk!" And I say, "Yeah, that's when you were trying to talk. What is Finny saying in this video?" So he leans forward to study the video, listens for a moment, then looks at me. He points at the video. "Finny want it, cookie!" (Meaning, the Finny in the video was saying that he wants a cookie! Hehe.)

8. He's "L"s sound like "W"s. So, he'll say things like, "Wook, Mommy! Wollypop!" Or, when he wants lotion, he'll say "Wotin!" though now it's more like "Wotion!"
