"Up" -- when she wants to be picked up, which is generally all the time, and by any random stranger.
"Shoe" -- which she says repeatedly while I am putting her shoes on, or when she finds a shoe lying around that she can clutch in her little hands and parade through the house with.
"Thank You" -- which sounds more like "tinkyu", and generally is said when she is handing me toys one after the other. She offers me a toy and says "Tinkyu!"
"Here" -- used in situations much like Thank You. The two are practically interchangeable for her.
"Gog" -- meaning dog. Usually is followed by fits of pretend barking, normally while she is staring out the window of the front room, or playing in the backyard when the neighbor's dog stops by.
"Bye Noah" -- for some reason, whenever I tell Sophie to say bye bye, no matter to whom, she says "Bye Noah". Its one word to her. byenoah.
"Uh-oh". pause. "Oli-oli-o" -- This one is courtesy of Ya-Ya, who regularly says "Uh-oh, raviolios" to the kids. They all get a big kick out of it, but funniest is Sophie's rendition.
"Buh" for book. She loves books. In fact, right now she is lying on a pillow in the living room reading a fuzzy animal book and giggling. I tried to take a picture of it but, as per usual, as soon as Sophie saw the camera she shot up and did everything in her power to get it from me. I tried to get her back on the pillow and reading, but the moment was over. Noah, however, saw that I was not able to get the picture, so offered to act as a stand-in. Here's the scene, as re-enacted by Noah:
That's mostly it for now. She's constantly blabbering, but I can't tell what the rest of it is. I think its just nonsense, but in truth she's probably explaining Einstein's theory of relativity, or perhaps reciting Shakespeare.
P. S. Travis has a gigantic vocabulary, so obviously I can't list it all here, but he asked me to mention that he says "Cuckoo" a lot even though he is not a cuckoo clock. It's true.
