    Jack has a few words that he will babble out... some that he'll look at me and say in a very serious and matter-of-fact tone...

    ... I am yet to work out what any of them mean.

    I'm such a bad mum
    Oh, and that too! I wish I knew what he was saying!

    haha these are great!

    Thought of a couple more.
    "Faff" is giraffe (she has a little stuffed giraffe that she takes to bed and calls him Faff. Very cute! Took me a while to work out what she was trying to say though!).
    Bubba is spider or zebra..go figure!
    ssssss means snake. She freaked me out a week ago, sitting at the table eating lunch and she kept looking out the door going "ssssss", I didn't know if there was a snake out there or if she'd just decided to make the noise!
    If she, or someone else sneezes she goes "ahhhh" and then scrunches her nose up and makes a blowing noise out of it which is so funny. I say ahhchoo" to her all the time just so she does it

    Cute!

    My little girl says her words very clearly and talks a lot so I can't list them all, too many to count!!
    But lately she has been saying "baboons" for balloons...she just can't pronounce it it's sooo cute

    DD does "Dan, Dan, Dan" while stomping her feet. Her father started that once by putting her in the tray of the 1 tonne work ute and saying "a dance, dance, dance". She thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread.
    Bread is "bear"
    and she'll say "GO GO GO!" and jump in the pool! At least she gives us warning but as to giving us time to catch her.... Scares the hell out of me.
    MMMMM is she wants to give you a kiss and it'll end with a huge AH when she connects with your cheek/hand/anywhere she can reach
    When I ask her where something is she'll say "Hmmmm, Ummm" with a really thoughtful tone while looking for the object
    Car is just car, boring but it's a word she nailed first time she tried! Proud of that one!
    Night night is "Bye-ni" followed by movie star style kiss blowing with lots of enthusiasm!

    I know there is more but feeling too wiped mentally to try remember right now!

    My little girl doesn't talk very clearly and spends a lot of time makng her words up, and talking in Jazz-lish, so a lot of the time I smile and nod and so I can't list too many of them as I am still learnign Jazz-lish

    But I hope these ones make you giggle, since this is a thread about toddler speak
    Jazz calls puzzles "pea-seas" (pieces - like pieces of a puzzle). "Come on mummy, pee-seas! Do the pea-seas!"
    "Stickty" is glue or sticky tape or stickers.
    "Ditches" are photos, or pictures, and this is usually said when she is shoving my mobile at me and wants me to switch it to camera mode so she can take photos!
    She also insists on calling out cat 'Dutchy' when her name is Chunky. This one has stuck, and we usually call her Dutchy now too hahahaha


    She also points and says "No mummy! Stay! STAY!" if she doesn't want me to help her do something. She definitely spends too much time with her dog! hahahaha

    puggles = puzzles
    Wolwy - could mean Roley (from Bob the Builder), Wall-e (the movie) or lolly. We still haven't completely mastered L
    dunk = sauce ... coz you dunk stuff in it! We just call it dunk now too

    Can't think of any off the top of my head atm

    Oh, we have a Harry Potter wand, and many many hotwheels / matchbox cars. Took us a while to work out why DS was looking for his 'sticky car'. We couldn't even work out why it was sticky. Turns out the wand is the stick and is through a car window. TADA! Sticky car!

    OUr son renamed our dog Karma to Marma, and it has stuck!!

    He does the usual fruck for truck and fragon for dragon, jumpy jumpy is the trampoline, but my all time favourite thing he does is if he is repeatidly saying a work that we adults dont quite get, and we are guessing.. we will usually go "Aaawwwwww, ________________ (insert word he has been saying)" when we finaly understand...

    So now when he is trying to get us to understand, he will go "Aaaaawwwwwwww, ______________ " it sounds sooooooo cute!!!!!!!!

    LOL, just thought of another one - Jack will get on my treadmill when he visits and go 'Weady? WEADY?' and that's our cue to look at him and count to 3, and then he jumps (steps) off, and claps for himself. He's awesome!

    DD generally talks pretty well, but there's the odd funny one.

    She says Oli oli gog gog for water! She started off saying gogli gogli, I suspect like the sound it makes inside your head when you gulp, but my husband mis- understood her and though she was saying oli oli dog dog which is something they talk about on an itng cd... So it became oli oli gog gog she says milk for cows milk but boobie milk is mo mo and it comes from boo-boos. For some reason she says everything twice!

    ds2 still has trouble with quiet a few words, he tries to say things to fast, and without thinking, ends up replacing most of the first letters with d.. he counts and it gose, un, too, dee, dour, dive, dix, deven, date, dine. if he thinks about it, they all come out right but four is still dour.
    ds1 started (and still dose) calling dan murphys and well any alcohol shop "the jim/gym bean shop" after going there twice with df to get some jim beam, now thats what there all called, 3 years on.
    when i was little, apparently the slide at the park was a "slipry d ick" mum dont let me forget it either it took her over a year to work out what my sister was on about, every few nights she would randomly yell out "goon-gong" turned out it was cokaroach.

    my little monkey isn't a big talker yet but i can't wait for his vocab to expand.

    the 30 or so words he says are all quite clear... the only cute example i can think of is "tuh" for "shoe"...
    he was walking around with his dad's shoes on saying "daddy tuh".... melts my heart!

    Oh he says 'soss' for sauce.

    Lots of his early words revolved around food and drink.

    LOL, I love toddler speak!! We have:

    'touk' (toilet)
    'bomont' (bottom)
    'oshee' (orange)
    'feshal' (special)

    That's all I can think of! I'm sure there's more, the rest is just the normal cute stuff like saying 'yuv' for 'love', aww... And she always wants to put an 's' on the ends of things!
