Walter's vocabulary exploded over our Thanksgiving vacation and he's been talking up an increasingly coherent storm ever since. This morning he broke out a new word, "coat." Perfectly enunciated, too. Tonight he whipped through the sounds of cat, dog, sheep, lion, pig, and car with stunning accuracy. He varies his tone to ask questions and to exclaim. He often speaks and signs in two word sentences--"Mama, Uppaday!" or *more water*--and also chatters delightful strings of words in his own language.
In no particular order at all, Walter's words are:

As soon as I posted this I realized I forgot a whole bunch of great Walter words--like "hat" and "yum"--sigh. A comprehensive list cannot be made, it seems.
