Wild Man is talking up a storm, as my mother would say. Most of the time C & I struggle to understand him, and often he just jabbers away, without really saying anything. He says quite a few words on a regular basis, and here are a few of them.
baberry = blackberry, which is his newest favorite food
Meemee = Mommy
tee = tree
bana = banana
mo = more
peese = please, which he also signs usually unprompted
tan yooo = thank you, which he doesn't say unless prompted
Luwu = Lulu, which is one of the many nicknames for our cat Minnie
Pur = Pearl, our other cat, also known as the cat who plays with Wild Man
soo = shoe
atside = outside
On top of talking so much, he is also beginning to understand a lot more. When we tell him it is time for dinner, he goes to his high chair, for example. It is really amazing to watch him process all of these things and start to figure out the world. As C said the other day when Wild Man began saying "baberry," he is just beautiful.

Wow, what a vocab! That is truly exciting :).
Yes, he's got a wonderful vocabulary! I loved to keep track of the boys' vocabulary. It's really easy if you use a journal or notebook that you carry along with you and then you determine a section of it only for new words. Then you number every 5 lines and then you can easily keep track of how many words he's saying. I'd always come back to them and record the "evolution" of the pronunciation. I started when each boy was around 15 months and spoke 20+ words until 200 something words (when they were 19 months or a bit older). You can also do it in the computer, I guess. I am yet to type the boys' lists.
