Here are Melina's current words (though I'm sure I'm forgetting some. She seems to pick up new words every day!)
Mama
Dadda
Doggy
Kitty
Hi
Bye
Shoe
Ice
Baby
No!
Birdy ("beebee" plus sign for bird)
Key
Gaga (this is a Korean baby word that means "snack," picked up from her sitter)
Berry (buoy)
Banana (naynay)
Book (boop)
Peek-a-boo (bee-boo)
Airplane ("aaaiii" plus pointing up in the air)
E I E I O (from "Old MacDonald") - sometimes just E I O
How I won... (from "Twinkle twinkle little star")
Uh-oh
Cool
Hot (ha)
Cracker (kacka)
Mine (apparently she said this to Youngsoon yesterday, but I haven't heard her)
Car (ka)
Water (Awa - sounds strangely like "agua" - maybe she was Spanish in a past life)
Bottle (bobble)
That's all I can remember at the moment, though I'm sure there are others. I like how her vocabulary reflects what's important to her in life. Notice the lack of words for "Iraq," "work," and "responsiblity."

Nice observation Jennifer. I hope it's a long time before she learns those "other" words...
