What's This?

Witnessing Henry begin to talk has been fascinating. So far the vast majority of his speach consists of two words, "bah" for ball and and "bih" for bird. Henry says "bah" for everything round, circular or oval he sees. He also asks constantly what things are by uttering a sound like "duh." He's got other words in his vocabulary, but they only come out occasionally or they are words that he thinks are more discernable, but we have a tough time with, like his sound for car/truck. For this reason Meg and I were completely floored when he said, "what's this?" while pointing to a tea kettle this weekend.

I searched 240 quarters last night. They produced just one Canadian. I did pick up a roll of 2009P PR quarters, however.

I mainly just looked through pennies, however. The results were very average. In 10,000, four boxes, I found fifty-eight Wheats and forty-seven Canadians. The Wheats were:

19??D, 1919, 1924, 1940S, 1941, 1942(5), 1944(5), 1945(7), 1946(5), 1947(2), 1951D(2), 1952(2), 1952D(3), 1953, 1953D(4), 1954, 1954D, 1955D(3), 1956, 1956D(5), 1957(2), 1957D(3), 1958

A teller also saved me three Wheats (1929, 1941, 1948).

On Sunday while playing with Henry in our church's playground I found a Spanish 25 Pesetas (1975). It's a new variety for me. Here's a picture of the type.



Found: 1 penny, 1 dime (on a street near our house), 1 foreign coin (a Spanish 25 Pesetas at church)
