Vocabulary

Although most of his words I still can't decipher, some of them I now understand:
'mo'= milk/mlijeko
'baw'=ball/lopta
'pape'= slippers/pape, as well as socks
'baby' = baby
'no' = nose/nos (accompanied by index finger going up the nose)
'buh' = 'book'
'hi'
'bye-bye' (always accompanied by wave of the hand)
'tutu' = truck/kamion
'bibi' = something like the above (car or truck); I'm not sure which one refers to what to him.
And the cutest of all is 'kabuka-buka' = apple/jabuka
He just starting saying 'gotov' (done-with meal or a toy...). He says it pretty well, actually.

He also understands 'ptica' (bird), 'vjeverica' (squirrel), giraffe, 'avion' (plane), 'voda' (water), 'knjiga' (book).
If I say 'outside' (vani, napolje), he immediately knows what I'm talking about, gets very excited, runs to find his socks and starts pointing out with both hands like this:
He actually understands much more than we think which regularly surprises us. The other day Robb asked him where his milk bottle was. Nikolas went around behind some large toy that was blocking the view and found the bottle there. He pulled it up for Robb to see. Robb then asked him to bring it over to him, and Nikolas did it right away.

Here is one of his favorite toys--the diaper box. He loves being swirled around the floor in it by daddy or mommy, aim and throw balls into it, hang out and play inside by himself....or with company:
Hello, little foot! (a-hem, half way to my size...)
