Creed's language skills are increasing very well. He quickly caught up within 6 months or so of coming home and now has the challenging dialect of a two year old. But I've cracked his 2 year old language code and really it is quite simple.
So here is the code: Take a 2 syllable word and say the first syllable twice. Examples as follows:
Baby Jesus = Creed says "baby JeJe"
Raisin = "ray ray"
Dora = "Dor Dor"
Puppy = "pup pup"
Manta Ray = man man ray
African Children's Choir = "Af Ch,Ch, Choi Choi" (this one took me a long, long time to decode)
Surprising how consistent he is with this code. Context is still everything though. For instance, with the word "pizza"
Pizza = pi pi
Now this is also the word the boys use for a body part so it is important to know context. It can really foul up your interpretation if you do not know the context in which the word is being used :)

Ha ha ha! I love when 2 year olds start talking and you can understand them. Everyday is something new.
My husband is mortified that while recently potty training Dima I came up with, "wipe your winkie son". He's like, "why 'winkie'?" It just seemed like a modest yet understandable term at the time.
