Sometime in May I wrote that they can pronounce Mommy (sounding like "MaMi") here.
Since then they've progressed onto a whole host of words. By now they recognise people by age and address them accordingly. For babies their age they would call them "baby". For older children they would call them "cheche" or "korkor". Adults pretty much fall into the "aunty" and "uncle" category, and "kongkong" for seniors. While this is fairly accurate they have a tendency to call even people in their 20s "uncle" and "aunty", which I'm sure could be annoying, hehe...
Within the family, paternal grandpa is called "YeYe", my brother is "SokSok", and maternal grandpa is "KongKong". The funny one is when they refer to grandma as "MiMa". They can actually pronounce "Grandma" but I think they just use "MiMa" as it's easier to call.
