Cam's become totally chatty, and of course it's all cute. I had wanted to record every single word that Cam says, but I've totally lost track. It seems like he picks up a new word almost every day! Just the other day, we were playing with some other kids and they gave him a toy car, and Cam said "Awesome!" I have no idea where he learned that, but he says it a lot now.
He was playing with a toy truck with a plastic crane, accidentally pulled the crane off, and goes "Uh oh! Break it!" He actually often says "break it" since a lot of his toys get pulled apart during the course of play... he'll brings the broken toys to me and says "dada, break it" but really he's asking me to fix it. I always say "do you want me to fix it?" so I think he'll eventually start to say "dada, fix it."
Cam's only recently started to say three syllable words, with the first one being 'chocolate', which he pronounces as 'cocolah'. For awhile he was unable to say three syllable words, saying 'sickle' for bicycle, but now he is able to say "bicycle" and in fact often sings 'bicycle, bicycle, biiiicycleeeee' - I don't know why he sings that, but I guess it's a fun word to say.
I have the original 1986 Transformers movie on my iPod, and when Cam gets difficult during our restaurant visits I'll whip it out to get him to sit still. It's his favourite movie and he often asks to watch it, but for some reason he calls it "Dehdehs." He calls robots "ahbot" and I'm wondering if that's in part due to 'Autobot'. His favourite scene in the movie is when Optimus says "Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost" and has the long transform sequence. Cam uses a deep voice with a reverent tone when he says Optimus' name (which comes out sounding like 'eh-mus'), it's great. :)
One of the cute things he does is he throws his hands into the air beside his head dramatically and says "Oh no!" If Sara walks around the corner when he's not looking, he'll throw his hands up and say "Where go?" He also says "Wha happen?" in a super cute way, I MUST record that on video!
He's unable to properly pronounce words that begin with 'sn' - he drops the 's' portion, so 'snake' becomes 'nake' and 'sneaky shark' becomes 'neaky shark'.
In one of Cam's books, Are You My Mother?, there's a large digging machine that is called a "Snort" due to the sounds it makes and subsequently Cam calls all machines that have a long neck-like protrusion like cherry pickers 'Snort' - or more precisely 'Nort' since he drops the 's' from sn words. Sara's office complex has a couple of mini cherry pickers for window washing, and Cam gets excited to see them when we go pick up Sara. If he doesn't seem them, he'll ask "Where the nort?"
I've gotta capture videos of all of the fun stuff he says, it'll be great to look back on it many years from now.

Awww... so cute. I still can't get over how much he's speaking. The girls and I get a kick out of him talking. As for the bicycle, bicycle, bicycle.. uh, can we say Queen! That's 'awesome'. You should place that song for him.
