James words

James has an interesting vocabulary:

mama---can mean Bobby or myself, often screamed at the top of his lungs to get our attention
uh-oh---means something is out of place
ah-woo---(like a wolf's howl) means an animal of some kind
oo-uh---means specifically a squirrel or bird
ba-ba---means water or drink
hoo-hoo---(like a train whistle) means any object with wheels, moving or still
hi!---(this is not a greeting) means a person or face
gah-shhhhh---(pretend snoring) means asleep or still
gghukkguhkgg---means gross or yucky or frog
wah-woh---(pretty much his "smurf" word) means anything he doesn't know the word for yet
um-um-um---means food/treat/yummy thing

And just this last week he's started putting "sentences" together:

MAMAAAAAA! ah-woo uh-oh
"Look at me! That dog is lying down!"

MAMAAAAAA! ba-ba gah-shhhhhhh
"Look at me! My sippy is asleep/unmoving in its holder!"

MAMAAAAAA! gghukkguhkgg uh-oh
"Look at me! There's a gross thing on the floor here"

Hey James-ee, is that "um-um-um" or "gghukkguhkgg"?
