Grandpa's-first-language-is-not-English Glossary of Terms

Archer's Grandpa Choi's first language is not English, and he uses some interesting terminology when dealing with all things baby. I thought I'd put together the beginnings of a glossary of most frequently used terms to help translate:

Baby wheelchair= stroller; as in "We put Archer in his baby wheelchair and took a walk on the beach."
Mouth piece = pacifier; as in "Archer is crying, where is his mouth piece!?!"
Water glasses=goggles; as in "If you take Archer swimming, he needs to have water glasses."
Meat wave=neck fat; as in "His meat wave has 3 rolls!"
Over the fence=anything that is overflowing; as in "His meat wave is over the fence" or "Archer had a big poo and it was over the fence!"
Crinking= Crying + cranky.  Now part of my vocabulary, it really should be a word--try it out, you'll start using it too!

In other news, Archer attended his girlfriend Olivia's 2nd birthday party. As someone said at that party, "Olivia is a cougar!". Archer was very happy to see Olivia, but I think he was more happy to see balloons for the first time! Happy Birthday Olivia!



P.S. Archer rolled over tonight for the first time!

  2. Oh yeah! i forgot about 'crinking'. I'll have to add that one. We'll need to find a picture of Archer 'crinking' and then post it with the definition. i knew there were words that I forgot to add! and yes this will have to be an on-going project.
