I made a list of Poppy’s words when she was about 15 months old. I think her comprehendable vocabulary took off a bit quicker than Pete’s has, but he’s been jabbering with meaning for much longer than she did. He’s starting to pull all the babbling together lately, though. Here are some of his words. (Maybe all of them, but I’m betting I’ve forgotten a few.)
No. He uses this one mainly when he’s in a mood.
Please. Offsets the “no” nicely.
Mama. He used to say “mama” only when he was very, very impatient and angry. He started using with a joyful voice recently, and it’s been a terrific change.
Juice. Milk is also “juice” to him, which can be a little confusing.
Cheese. He’s always very happy to get cheese, so it’s usually pronounced “cheeeeeeese!”
Daddy. Almost always said with an Exclamation Point or seven.
Biper. Not quite “Poppy,” but that’s what he means.
Hallo.
Bye-bye.
Whatchudoin. This is usually reserved for telephone conversations. As in, “Hallo! Whatchudoin?”
Cars. Poppy occasionally leaves one of her “Cars” cars unguarded. You can tell Pete’s found it when you hear, “Caaaaarrrrrssssshhhh!!!”
Vroom. See: “Cars.”
Go Go Go. This means it’s time to run as fast as his skinny little legs will carry him.
Gogur. Yogurt.
Addie. The little girl who spends the afternoons with us.They’re pals.
Melmo. Elmo.
Papa. That’s my dad.
Gamma. (Grandma.)
Gampa. That’s Rockford’s dad.

Wow, Graham is talking? I know he’s old enough but still, wow (Ha, that’s coming from the girl who was surprised to hear Piper say full sentences when she was three years old, lol).
Can we get a video of this, pleeeease?
Not bad!! The “cheeeeeese!” reminds me of Wallace & Grommit.
Wendy only had a vocab of about 10 words before 18 months. Then, by two years, it was 250+. And now she won’t shut up. (I’m KIDDING. kind of.)
