And more new words

Melina has been adding a lot of new words lately, and for the past few days everything she says is followed by "mama?" As in, "wadu, mama? Oatie, mama? Kitty, mama? gaga, mama?" (Water, horse, kitty, snack?). It's pretty cute but I feel like I'm supposed to comment on everything she says. Oh, and she also calls Jeff mama, so it's not like it's especially about me.

Here are the latest new words. Often she will repeat something right after I say it, but not use it again (like "Tony," the cat next door). These are words she has repeated pretty frequently.

Horsy (oatie)
Bunny (buhh-ee)
Mine
Up
Down
All done (accompanied by waving hands)
Banh (Korean word for bread)
Water (wadu - said for all beverages and beverage containers, as well as lakes, rivers, puddles, and sprinklers)
Thirsty (I'm not completely sure about this one)
Eat (this is a new one)
Pee-pee
Poop, poopy (though these don't actually coincide with BMs)
Binky (beenty)
One, two, three (sort of; said when walking down stairs)
Train (sometimes this means train, sometimes plane)

...and she's also doing the sign for help, though she does it more for Youngsoon than for me.
