If you played guitar today, you're a guitarist. If you've been learning and having fun, you're a guitarist. So long as you're learning, you're a guitarist.
There's no magical date when you get to say that you're a guitar player. And, I don't count those people who know only one or two songs. A guitarist is someone who plays guitar with the goal of learning to play it better than they did yesterday - and having fun is how you keep that motivation. It's a lot of work, but it's able to be fun. We work all week, we have fun on the weekends - we just do it with a guitar.
So, both of you are guitarists. Put your hours in, 'cause that's what makes you (and keeps you being) a guitarist.
