Nicholas turned 2 in September. Over the last couple months, he has gotten quite the vocabulary. I was once told that, by 2, the ones closest to the child can understand what the child is saying, and, by 3, everyone can. However, there are times even I don't understand this sweet boy.
There are plenty of words that are pretty clear. Mommy, Daddy, DooDoo (okay, it's not Andrew, but it's close enough), Yiayia, Popou, kitty... I'm good.
Then there are the WTF words. He'll say something that sounds like a real word, but when you ask if that's what he meant, he'll most likely tell you no. And usually with a look like, "Why don't you understand me, stupid lady?"
Examples:
fouvou: light saber (really?)
tataw (small pause) shoo: Star Wars
outsow: Still have no idea what this is. You'd think outside, but you'd be wrong (or so he keeps telling me).
boon: At a loss. Boot? No. Book? No. Bug? No.
Eventually, he gets fed up with me and sits back down.
Poor kid. Has an idiot for a mother.
