No, but like some others, my older daughter sometimes calls her baby sister "Little Chub-chub" while she pinches her chubby little thighs...just like mommy does!

I have a Benjamin (3 1/2 yrs) and an Ethan (19 mos).

Benjamin was almost 2 when Ethan was born and for the longest time just called him "baby". When he started saying his name, it was "Ee-fan", which became "Efie" (pronounced "eee-feee"). He still calls him Efie, as do my husband and I.

Ethan calls his brother "Bem" and "Ben".

DD # 2 is too young to talk but when I was little my brother couldn't say Meredith, and I guess he always heard my mom and dad calling me his sister. So he tried to say sister but couldn't and it came out as dis dis. He sometimes still calls me dis dis!

My older dd can def say my younger one's name but I love when she calls her the nicknames we call her. Her name is Emily but we call her Emme. That got changed into mimi and now DD #1 has taken to calling her meemers!

My DD was 19 months old when we found out the gender, and we decided her name would be Kaleigh (pronounced Kaylee).
She called her:
"kayree"
"Kaybee"
"ka-laylee"
and finally at 24 months she can say "Kaleigh"

DS calls his sister Sydney, Nidney and our niece Naomi, Omi. DD did the same at the this age and I think it is so cute.

Ella used to say eh-wick, or just 'ick' for Erik. She can say Erik properly now, but 'ick' is still used sometimes.

Erik calls her Eh-wah.

eta: Ella named grandma and grandpa "moma" and "bopa", and it STUCK.
