Baby animals speak foreign languages

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

I’m about a month away from my due date.  I can’t sleep and I am definitely nesting.  I just sanitized just about everything in my house. (I know it’s early but I can’t help it. I’m nesting).  This means I also just washed all of the clothes that we’ve received as gifts for the baby.  They are so adorable I can barely contain myself.  The funny thing is that I’ve noticed nearly all of the gifts from Brazil are animal themed. I don’t mean there are pictures of animals on the clothing- I mean the clothing basically turn the baby into a little puppy, elephant or chicken.  Very similar to what we use to dress kids up for Halloween.  Now, I don’t know if this is a cultural thing or if it is just our particular friends and family., but I love it.  Now this little baby- other than being cute because it’s a little munchkin will be a baby puppy munchkin, elephant munchkin, or chick munchkin.

Now we just have to teach it to make animal sounds in Portuguese and English! (Another fun fact, animals sounds are different in different languages. This is because we hear sounds differently based on the language that we speak.)
