Learning more words, including friends' names

If you could only pronounce 10 or 20 words so that people besides your parents could understand them, do you think "buckle" would make the list? I don't think it'd make mine, but it's on Finn's, along with "monkey."
Here's a clip of some of his other linguistic idiosyncrasies; "car" and "truck" are pronounced the same, and until recently off and on were both pronounced "on." Let me tell you, I'm glad we got that one sorted out.

Finn's unique vocabulary from Katie on Vimeo.


We're up to about 70 or 80 words that Jonathan and I can understand, and adding more every week. It's both amazing and entertaining to watch. It's also scary to think that in less than three months we'll be back to "You're crying! Why are you crying?" "Waaaaaah" territory with Finn's little brother. Said little brother is getting bigger, stronger, and pointier all the time. We are so, so, officially in the third trimester. Get ready, ribs!
This afternoon we went to Ross and Rachel's to visit and to see Jason, who's in town for a few days from Idaho. Finn got to play with Helen ("Hehn") and Arthur ("Ahtter"), and had an absolute blast. He and Arthur are only 5 months apart, getting more and more fun to watch in action together, and already look like trouble. Watch out world! Jonathan has a movie or two I'll let him post, but here's a still that should give you the general idea.
