Spanish (and Latin) would also use mami and papi for mama and papa -- I believe most languages do that, as ma, pa and da are some of the earliest sounds babies make. Asking for water would be agua, almost the same as wawa. If both the guys are papi, there's no difference. But if one of them decides to be Uncle, then the baby would call him Tio, or Tee in baby talk. Juice is jugo (hoo-go). Ball is pelota.
Sam could insist that he just has a pee pee diaper. *snickers* Maybe I'll even let her be right. :)
I'm probably going to randomly assign Sam a language like Spanish or possibly French. Otherwise, I'm just going to have her be tolerantly amused by it all, and possibly keeping her ears open to learn along with the baby.
The Latin is "mater" and "pater," though, so I'd think it'd be "mati" and "pati" if you're going to go that direction. [ponder] Although if you shorten it even more it's still "ma" and "pa" so that works. [nod]
