It's pretty obvious that you know nothing at all about kids and child
development or you never would have posted this.  Better to just say
nothing than to show your ignorance.

Claire doesn't talk "baby talk."  Many kids can't even use sentences
yet at age four.  As for using Pop Pop, some adults use names like
that for their grandparents.  Grow up, Jen.

Bonbon

Let me preference this by saying that I observe four year olds every day
in 
a preschool setting and they should be using sentences and most do by age 
four!  And for the sake of arguing Bonbon, I said "should" and "most". If 
they're not, it could be an early sigh of language delay and that is not 
typical of a four year old.
