My baby's vocabulary

A week ago while playing with his favorite toy car, EJ pointed to our table and said "buli". I looked at the table and found nothing that would remotely mean "buli". Yet he kept on pointing and saying "buli". I gave the bottle of ketchup to him and asked "Is this buli?" After all, bottle almost sounds as "buli"...hehehe. He shook his head vehemently and said "buli". Confused, I picked another bottle and this time it is the maggi seasoning. I again asked him if that was the "buli". Again he shook his head, now on the verge of tears. Frustrated, I said to him "here, have a banana, EJ". I know he loves bananas. He seemed pacified and went back playing while eating the banana.

One day after, he again pointed to our table and said "buli". When I looked at the table nothing was there but a bunch of bananas. Hmmmm...I picked one banana and asked "Would you like a banana?" He nodded his head eagerly. And that's the story of buli este banana...hehehe.

At 18 months EJ's vocabulary has gotten interesting, challenging and funny. Some words are pronounced clearly, some more are understandable but most of it are babble of words only himself can comprehend. Here are the words according to him:

Hi - Hi. This one he can say clearly with a matching wave of hand.
Bye - He can also say this clearly with a matching wave of hand as well.
Cah - Car
Bah - Ball
Bah - Bus
Pom - Pacifier
Pee - Sleep =)
Ju - Juice
Go - Go
No - No
Buli - Banana
Aw-aw - Dog
Baga - Balloon
Tee - Teeth
Shu - Shoes
Beybi/Bibi - Baby
Haa - Hot
Wee - Play slide
Boow - Boat
Mooo - Moon
Booo - Book
Daddy - Daddy
Mimi/Mama/Mam-mi - Mommy :))

Amazing, right? But what is more amazing is that sometimes EJ becomes the teacher and my dearest hubby becomes EJ's student. Example "EJ, let's go to bed and pee". And he means, sleep!!! Or sometimes, "EJ, would you like some buli?" Heaven help us!
