    I guess I just don't count mimics as actual words in their vocabulary.
    For them to mimic is part of speech. Vocabulary is knowing what the word means and how to use it. Words are spoken which is considered part of speech. So if you say a word and don't know what it means, you're not saying a word? Not trying to be snarky.
    Technically "vocabulary" means you understand the context of a word. If someone says a word to me in German, I can repeat it and mimic it, but I would still qualify my German "vocabulary" as nonexistent. I am a languages teacher, if that makes any difference. Mimicking is step 1 in a verrrry long list of skills required for language acquisition.
    My husband has taught me two words in Hindi. "chua" means mouse and "topi" means hat. So when I go to India with him next time, they'll be all, "excuse me, neon white lady, can you GTFO of my way please?" And I'll be all, "mouse. Mouse hat." Also, remember when everyone was making up crazy milestones like 5 months ago and BPaws said, "damn, H is still startled by his own farts..." I still die laughing every time I remember that. And I'm team Heinrich today, baby Aggie doesn't say any words, she just crawls around the house with her teeth bared making dinosaur noises.

    You're my favorite. I'm still giggling at "mouse. mouse hat."

    two, kind of.

    Hi, is clear.  Eah, it is more just babbling, but it is always directed at big sister, Leah.  So we assume that is what she calls her.  She does babble constantly.

    Baba, Mama, and Dada are her main babbling.

    OMG, you guys.

    I finally got back on TB to see what your replies were and you had me laughing my azz off.  My daughter is advanced in making fart noises with her mouth.  PSA: Don't laugh everytime your child makes farting noises because it reinforces her to do it ALL.  THE.  TIME.  We can be in the middle of a quiet room or church and SURPRISE, N is making farting noises.

    We keep it classy over here.

    The only word he says clearly is "dada" but I don't think he knows it means daddy. He says it all the time. He recently started making b sounds so occ he says "baba" can't get him to say anything remotely close to "mama" though!

    This.

    DD signs more and milk. I'm terrible at noticing sometimes, so I'm surprised she does. She also only associates more with food, since that's only when we use it. If you are eating a banana, "more". Of, you have a drink, "more".

    She says mamamama dadadada, and we think she is saying hi, but that's only in response to our hi and not because someone walked in the room.
