How to Speak "Finnish"

Finn is talking so much now, but it's pretty hard to understand what she's saying. So, here is a mom's guide to toddler speak:
"Bow-buff": pacifier
"Booose": juice
"Bee-bees": pee pee
"Bea-pees": air planes
"Ma-mum": mommy
"Na-Nan": Nana
"By-pa": diaper
"I-ite": night - night
"Boooooon": moon
"Fly-flaff": flower (and then, she *sniff* sniff*... "Ahhh")

I'm sure it's funny to an outsider to hear Finn talk, because it sounds like you have pee pees in the sky and a moose in your cup. And she must sniff every flower on every wall, in every pot, and in every picture. It's precious the first twenty times a day she does it. After that, not so much.
