How do YOU say... ?

I've been trying to compile a list of words that Ben says. Many of them are clear to anyone's ears; a few of them would only be understood by someone who spends a lot of time with him. Ben also signs quite a few things, so here is the most comprehensive list I can come up with!

Ben says:

Daddy

cookie

cuckoo (as in, a cuckoo clock)

happy

cracker

tractor

more (mah, with the sign)

help (heh, with the sign)

duck (duh)

dog (daw)

birdie (bree)

fishy (bishy, or more likely, bishybishybishy!)

hot

feet (fee)

go

ball (bah)

bug (bah)

car (coo)

GG

shoes (goos)

hi!

bath

socks (caw, cocks)

rock (caw, cocks)

Boppy (for my nursing pillow - so funny!)

Ben signs:

more

please

help

thank you

drink

eat

sleepy

all finished

Similar to the way that he puts his own spin on certain words, Ben signs things in his own little way, too. Someone who was very familiar with sign language might miss Ben's sign for, say, help, because he's adapted it (quite a bit) into his own sign. It's still pretty cute to see, though, and the whole point is that he is able to communicate. I love it.
