No, it's "apple-auce"

Sophie's linguistic skills (and attitude) continue to develop in a very independent-minded way. Recently, she's taken to correcting our language sometimes. The first time she really did it, I was trying to help her pronounce one of her favorite foods better. I said, "It's 'apple-sauce,' Sophie," thinking that she may have had problems with the two S-sounds of the word. Sophie responded immediately, "No, it's 'apple-auce.'" That's confidence.

Other lingustic landmarks include much better mimicry (she can repeat almost anything--which means we, i.e. I, have to be even more careful) and consistent identification of herself as "I" and her things as "my" and "mine." She still uses "Sophie" and "Sophie's," but she's definitely switching over to the first person.

I'm not sure if this is truly a linguistic achievement or not, but in response to the question, "What does Snoop Dogg say," Sophie will respond "chill" (in true Snoop Dogg style).
