We Love You Pie

We don't need a teether JUST yet (it'll be soon, though...yikes...), but The Squirt™ has already fallen in love with this awesomely weirdo squeaky French teether toy made out of all-natural rubber:

His name is "Pie," and he's (it's?) part of a teething trio: Chan Pie Gnon, which itself is a pun on champignon, the French word for mushroom. Yes, I'm a nerd.

Anyways, it will probably strike you immediately that Pie not only closely resembles a dog toy, but the top of the toy's head is strikingly similar to something of the nipple-breast persuasion. Both of these things are true. The latter aspect I'm guessing is purposeful...and perhaps mildly ingenious.

Either way, the point is my daughter happily gnaws away on this thing -- whose piercing high-pitch squeaks can be heard for miles around -- for minutes on end, and it's safe for her to do so.
