So basically I understand 90% of what he says...which is great for an almost 2 year old...Adam understands 60% and everyone else might pick up a word or two (and I would say he has over 100 words). We met with a speech therapist for an evaluation and the conclusion was he needed speech therapy...shocker!
Here are his words (off the top of my head)
Ba (short a) - mommy, grandma, grandpa
Da - daddy
be be - baby
oh ah - Hunter, robot, apple
gar (rollong r) - car
baw - ball
ackkkkk - snack...fruit snacks
ruckkkkk - truck
baw bis - basket ball
oh oh - woo who (when he makes a basket)
uh oh (raspy) - uh oh
bu - milk
doose - juice
bock bock - chicken
tese - please
tay tay - thank you
tay ti - blanket
bock - block
daw - dog
tea ta - clean up
ti - tigger
riii - frog
bo - book
be boo - peek-a-boo
ba - bath
tey - key
doo - door
oush - ouch, house
tea - tree
wa - water
dough - no
ba - banana
poo - spoon
daw daw - Mickey Mouse (because of the hot dog song)
yo ho - Jake and the Neverland Pirates
bi - big
boe - lolly pop
dou - phone
pa - pants
ockkkkk - sock
doo - shoe
ice - light

duh - all other friends
baw - pumpkin
ig - pig

bak - black
He can name some other colors but can't pick them out.
He names most animals with their sound
He names a fish with the fish face
He can identify some letters (we know W, and Y...we think he knows more but with his issues they don't sound any different)
do do do - counting (does he know different numbers...no clue)
he asks where by holding up his hands
He is very independent and is able to communicate non verbally really well. Even if people don't understand his words it's easy to understand what he wants. He points he nudges he demonstrates etc... Most kids with speech issues (especially toddlers) get frustrated because others can't understand him, Zack doesn't get frustrated at all.
