"Bye-bye."
Usually accompanied by a wave of the hand, this is used to mean "hello," "hey, look at me on the subway platform, stranger!," "good bye," and "good night." He's been saying it since mid-November.
"Uh-oh."
Usually said when something falls down, or something is mysteriously wrong in baby world. Started around Christmas.
"Achoo!"
Often accompanied by gestures of nose-blowing and full-on head banging sneezing. In response to someone sneezing, or if he feels it is time for a laugh. Also dates to Christmastime.
"Apple."
On Christmas Day, this meant apple. A few days later, it also meant carrot and pear. The next day, its meaning included frittata, water, and mama's milk. Oh yeah, an all-purpose food word!
Others claim that he also says Mama and Dada, but we've never seen evidence that he uses those sounds to mean us. Who knows?

Anecdote Two
We rode next to a couple of high school boys in the Skytrain the other day. They were talking loudly about this and that, and after a minute or two, Faelan joined in their conversation loudly and emphatically, with lots of arm waving and serious faces. Once or twice, one of the boys babbled back to him, and finally said, "He's better than a cat. I mean, cats are awesome and everything, but they can't speak hindu."
Anecdote
Yesterday, when Faelan put his weight on the back of the rocking chair it tilted back and the armrest hit him in the chin. He sat down and cried for a minute, and then he stood up and bit the armrest. Revenge! (I then reminded him not to bite even when he's hurt, and showed him how rocking chairs work, which he enjoyed.)
