Pupak and other cute things

From all the incoherent babble that Ivan utter all day long, we finally figured out that he knows the word for belly button, in Croatian. It's "pupak." Two days ago while playing in his tub, he, totally unprompted, looked at us, pointed to his belly button, smiled and said "tatak" or something like that.

So I had to double check whether he really knows that's pupak. The following day while we were playing (well, he was playing with the vacuum cleaner; I was just observing), I said, "Ivan, gdje je pupak. Kazi me pupak," asking him to show me his belly button. He stopped, then pulled his shirt away from his skin and trying to put his hand in his shirt to reach pupak. And said "tatak" again. A bit later, I rechecked again. He repeated teh same process -- tried to put his hand down his shirt to reach pupak.

So cute.

Another cute thing he does is he goes to Mariposa and lowers his head so she can lick him. He knows that's how she shows affection. What can I say. So endearing!
