Sophie speaks

Sophie says four words: uh-oh, dat (that), mama and dadu (daddy). She will say none on command. In fact, trying to get her to repeat anything else almost always ends in frustration.

I just finished talking with my Mom on the phone. Before saying our goodbyes, I held the phone up to Sophie's ear so she could hear Grandma's voice. I prompted, "Say 'Hi, Grandma!'" Without missing a beat, Sophie immediately mimicked, "Hi, Ga-ma." After much shrieking, we hung up. I then tried to get Sophie to say variations of "Hi" for about ten minutes, to no avail. Finally, I gave up.

Looking deep into Soph's eyes, I asked, "Child, who are you?"

"Uh-oh," she answered before crawling away.
