Baby talk and talk and talk and talk....

I have to admit that Sofia is turning out to be pretty cool. I mean, it was always interesting to have a baby around, but for the first couple of months she didn't really do much other than eat, sleep, poop and cry. No matter how cute you are, that routine gets a bit old after a while. Ask my ex-girlfriends. Lately, though, she's been a lot more interactive. She's sleeping really well, so when she's awake she's usually in a good mood. She gives a big shit-eating grin every morning when we wake her up, she likes to look at us and smile, and she follows us with her eyes as we walk around the room. She's also started to become really vocal, and by that I mean that sometimes no matter what you do you can't shut her up. The girl likes to talk. A lot. Whenever Pegs gets on the phone to her sister or her parents, Sofia takes the opportunity to start yapping, yapping, yapping. She's not really saying anything, of course, but we like to think that she's trying to converse with her ahhyooyaayoo's and uhheeeaaaooo's. This can be adorable, but sometimes it's hard to get a word in edgewise. Pegs was with Sofia at the Greek embassy yesterday to get Sofia's passport, and the passport officer took a phone call. As the lady was talking, Sofia decided to participate and began vocalizing. Loudly. To the point that the lady couldn't hear the person on the other end of the phone. What's weird is that Pegs is usually so quiet and reserved; I wonder where Sofia gets her loquaciousness from?

Sofia and her French grandmother will soon be a dangerous duo.

Do you think that maybe she is trying to speak Greek? Sometimes on the videos of Pegs speaking Greek to Sofia it sounds like: ahhyooyaayoo's and uhheeeaaaooo's. At least to me, that is. I can't imagine how little kids can learn so many languages at once. Who knows? Maybe her first words will be: Peu j'avoir un mousaka avec cheeze-wiz and fries?

(Please note that I purposefully said "fries" and not "french fries" so that I didn't offend any fragile temperments.)
