Right now Stephen can understand a lot of speech but not vocalize much. He uses a couple of signs that we taught him mixed with a couple of simple words.
Dah! (With hand gesture down, to get down from the highchair, crib, or other place).
Papa! (Papapapapapapa). Used for Papa and sometimes Mama.
Fffff! Ffffff! (Blowing sound with hand waving by face, to say something is hot. He came up with the hand wave himself). This means something is hot, such as food or his carseat.
Ba! Perhaps Stephen's first and favorite word, means "ball". This also includes anything else circular or spherical, including peas, blueberries, balloons, apples, and etc.
Aaaaaaa! (Followed by pointing, nodding, and moving eyebrows.) May I have that, please?
Nahnahnahnahnah! (Often accompanied by vigorous head shaking). No no no no no no no!
Yayayaayaya. (With hand over ear). Pretend talking on cellphone.
Wawa/awa. Water.
Signs:
"Please" (Wipes hand across chest).
"More" (Touches fingertips together).
"Water" (Three fingers on chin).
