From the Mouth of Sofia

Sofia's vocabulary has been growing at an impressive rate, but not how you might expect. She's surrounded during the week by Greek-speakers, but she hears mostly English on the weekends and is exposed to French at the park and through some of her toys. As a result, Sofia has developed a somewhat incongruous, but very functional, vocabulary that only she and a handful of polyglots can understand. Just for fun, I prepared a list of the words she uses by language, followed by a translation and occasionally a little anecdote:

Greek
Adada (Alexandra): her cousin Alexandra
galia (agalia): hug, pick me up
bala: ball

bano: bath
ella: come here
Eva: her cousin Eva

gala: milk
golo: booty; she announces this every time she gets down from the bed, the couch or any other piece of furniture, since Pegs always admonishes her to use her "golo" first when she gets down
ka ka: poop; if we ask her if she's dirtied her diaper, she'll either respond "no" or "ka ka" kakie: cake, as in "Gimme some cake!"
kala: good, ok
kaltsa: sock

kato: sit
kio (krio): cold
kuta (kutali): spoon

makia: kiss
Mama: Pegs
meli: honey
mera (kali mera): (good) morning
mi (miti): nose
nani: nap, sleep; this is also what she calls the sleep sac she wears at night
nani nani to paidi: a little Greek song that I sing to her when I put her down; she's started singing it to herself when she's tired
neh: yes
nero: water
Niki: her aunt Niki
pana: diaper
papa (papoutsia): shoes
Papou: her Greek grandfather
parko: park
pou: where
mi (psomi): bread
ti: what
volta: trip
Yia Yia: her Greek grandmother

French
au revoir: goodbye
Bon Papa: her French great-grandfather
bonjour: hello, good morning
d'accord: ok
Mamie: her French grandmother
merci: thank you
oui: yes

Sido: her aunt Sidonie

English
AO: her aunt Ariel
baby: this refers to any child, including herself
bitty bitty (itsy bitsy): as in "The Itsy Bitsy Spider", which she likes to sing

boo: she likes to try to scare us by covering her face with something, pulling it off and saying this

booty: she can't say this without tapping her butt with two hands
Daddy: slowly being replaced with "Lee"
hello: mostly used when she picks up the phone
hey you: falling a bit out of use, but still employed with Papou
I know: she's not really sure how to use this correctly; she last used it when she didn't want Pegs to change her diaper

Lee: see "Daddy" above
no: uses all the time
pee-yew: she uses whenever she smells her feet
Pop: her American grandfather
tickle: she says this whenever she tries to tickle any of us
uh-oh: she says this before she drops something
