Dictionivary- "ho hey"= OK
I want them to grow up. I'm excited they are growing up, but a little sad too. IWA and MIMI are becoming names of the past as our son graduates up to more mature pronunciations. We chose the names Ivan and Dominique because we liked them and they are so beautiful sounding coming out of our son's lips, but I had grown an affinity to his toddleresque "Iwa" and "mimi". For a while anyways, I can console myself that he's not all grown up with his "ho hey". Sometimes it does shock me how different new words make him sound. I asked him something to which he replied: "sure". He's always said "no" or "yes". Where did "sure" come from?
I wonder when he'll grow out of spinning. He's always loved to spin. If I say dance, he spins. Mimi, or I should say (with a sigh) Dominique likes to flap her arms. And no, she isn't hyperventilating. That is how she laughs, at least for now.

Do you guys have a neurosmith musini? If not, let me know because I've got one with Ivan's name on it!
Gavin says "Sure" all the time too. He says it with a Newfy accent too - which is so funny.
Our lives sound crazy similar!
Take care - Roberta
Deana- a what???
Berta- I have a funny video with Ivan's Texan accent, I still need to post. Why does Gavin have a newfy accent? Aren't you in Calgary?
I wish you could bottle that kind of energy and sell it! You'd make a fortune!
I think that Mimi is a cute nickname for Dominique.
Oh - re: Newfie accents in Calgary. I often say that I never met a Newfie until I moved to Calgary!
I love the way Ivan spins and then starts to loose his balance but keeps on spinning anyway. It's a bit scary too because he might bumb into something. And Mimi's "laugh" is just great. Flapping her little arms like that...can you imagine something more cute?

Let me know if you would like it, otherwise it's got to find a home somewhere else.
Mimi's laughs are adorable. She is such a happy baby!
Ya Angela we are in Calgary - he only sounds like a Newfy when he says sure. When he was first learning to speak I thought he was Russian - but I don't speak Russian so I couldn't confirm it.

Berta- that's funny. We thought Ivan sounded Italian.
