The boy is getting better and better at speaking, so a lot of the stuff he says now is completely clear and understandable. But some of it still requires a bit of interpretation. Probably I will update this as we remember/notice more of his vocab. (UPDATE 1: I should perhaps note for clarity that he actually knows many more words than the ones listed here - like "hot dog dance," for example - these are just the ones that can be confusing to the uninitiated.)
UPDATE 2: New entries are bolded below.
| Sound(s) Made | Apparent Meaning/Explanation |
|---|
| Aa-poh | "Hippo" | | Aa-poo | "Octopus" | | Aa-pull | "Apple", as well as any fruit or vegetable that looks even remotely like an apple | | All-Fahn | "Elephant" | | Bee-bop or Bee-bot | "Robot" or "bug" | | Beed-yeah | We really have no idea what this means. He seems to use it to refer to a multitude of unrelated things. It might just be an all-purpose word for anything he doesn't know the word for. | | Boo | "Spoon" | | Chee | "Cheese" or "tree" | | Ee-ee | "Horse" (it's an imitation of the sound horses make) | | (ee-)Yeah | "Please take this empty sippy cup from me". Yeah, this one's a bit of a mystery. Maybe he's trying to say, "here" as in "here, take this"? | | Ho-ho | "Pirate" or the TV show "Jake and the Never Land Pirates" | | Mao | "Mouse" | | Mo | "More" | | Moo | Usually "milk", sometimes "moon" or "more", and rarely "cow" | | Nake | "Snake" | | Pee-pie | "Pizza pie" or "french fry". Conveniently, the same sound designates his two favorite foods! | | Puh-uh or puh-puh | "Pretzel" | | Shih | "Fish" | | Wa or Wawa | "Water" | | Wah-Shih | "Rocket ship" |
