vocabulary
I wanted to actually write down what words Liam currently says, just because, mostly for my own reference. Some are very cute. Spelling is, of course, subjective and they're in no particular order. And seriously, he came up with these, some of them I have no idea where from. :)
mama
dada (which means either dada, cracker, or jacket....very useful word)
mimi (another name for dada)
meema (bunny, grandma, or what he calls the mother of the family we do nanny share with...they're Jewish and call her ima)
beeba (grandpa)
nana (Jonas, the boy he stays with for the nanny share)
shi-shi (music)
ya-ya (water or Khiara, our cat)
duck (truck, aka anything with 4 wheels, door, stuck, dog)
dee-duck (tractor or chocolate)
bak-bak (vacuum)
no-no (noni, what we call nursing)
yeah
no
mine
hi
bye-bye
book
ball (more like bah-woo)

eee (please)

heh (head)
ahm (arm)

foo (food)
veh-veh (breakfast)
dat (cat)
ahwn (on)

Wow, that's actually quite a few. And I'm sure I'm missing some. We don't really do signs any more because his spoken vocabulary has rapidly outstripped our signing vocabulary! He still signs most of the time for "please" and "help" (uses the same sign). He does combinations, too, like "where's bunny?" or "book mine." Anyway, time to change a stinky diaper...
Edit: he just said "boot dada" for his daddy's boot! And adding more.
bee-boo (peek-a-boo, pillow)
bee-buh (table)
nih-nown (get down)
Edit (1/25): He totally said, "no, mama" this evening! So much fun!
meh (mess)
boosh (push)
