4+ syllable words

We're having fun with a very communicative little girl. X chatters all the time, and each day we hear new words and phrases and sentences. She sometimes mixes Spanish and English (very cute--when she says things like "que mess", or "mas applesauce por favor").

My current favorites are the long words. She has multi-syllable words that still don't come out right. Here's a lesson in understanding Xaris.

So-mo-mo = telefono.

Po-na-mo = hipopotamo (also the same word used for platano--banana).

Ni-no-nonte = rinoceronte

Da-doodle-oodle-oodle-oo = rooster

Ah-lee-dupe-dee-dedo = helicoptero
