Words he can say or kinda say (New ones are in Red, ones with slight changes to them are in Green):

BALL : mostly pronounced: Bahl

PAPA : mostly pronounced: BAba! or Papa! or Poppy (which sometimes sounds like he's saying "Bobby" :) . 

DADDY: Dada! Daddy! I think when he calls Mike Poppy it's a mix of Papa + Daddy = Poppy. The strange thing is we never really call eachother Daddy or Mommy, it's just something that he naturally says. Interesting, right?

MOMMY: Mommy!

PLEASE : He is learning this. I'm not sure he knows what it means yet. But we got him to sign "more food please" the other morning while eating breakfast. It was very funny. The sign for "Please" is this:

Although I think I did it with a fist instead of an open hand. Stan Bear's version is taking both open hands and rubbing his chest as if he's putting on sunscreen. It is hilarious. 

THANK YOU : We're teaching him this too and he'll kind of do it, it's similar to blowing a kiss, which he definitely can do. I love that he can blow kisses and give high fives. He will also clap for himself if he does something great...which happens often. Ha!
