"duck"

Henry has some trouble pronouncing a few words.  As a result, he uses the word "duck" for the following words:

-car
-cow
-dog
-duck
-dark
-truck

(On top of that, he thinks everything with wheels is a car or truck, so trains, tractors, airplanes are all also "ducks.")

The other day we were at Barnes N' Noble and there was a picture of Lightning McQueen on the cover of a book, and he was really excited about it.  So he pointed and exclaimed, "A DUCK!  A DUCK!" (Car.)  The ~8 year old next to us thought it was really funny, but it got funnier when two seconds later, Henry spotted a stuffed puppy and pointed and exclaimed, "A DUCK!"

I love this sweet shirt.  It is Paul Frank and it says, "Chicks Dig Scars," and it has a band-aid on the monkey's head.  It was a gift from a little boy who had the same surgery as Henry about a year before Henry did. :)
Henry is obsessed with his "Belly Butt."  He LOVES to show people his belly button.
 I love being that little man's official translator.

Duck was one of Karis's first words (10 months). Books were 'dooks' and everything else (besides an actual duck) was a Duckum. Now she rarely says it, only when she sees live ducks.

Hopefully they will figure it out before kindergarten! Cute to see Henry does the same.

He is just so adorable. We have to get Gracie and Henry together soon for a playdate.
