"Better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt" ~ Abraham Lincoln...or something

I signed up to receive email updates from BabyCenter.com.  Basically you tell them what day your child was born and in exchange you get weekly reminders that your child is behind the curve.  This week's finger-shaking was all about 'Talking'.  Liam isn't using the past perfect subjunctive just yet but just check out this vocab list:

No - all purpose expletive
Bye
Hi
Uh-oh! - (in the tone of complete anguish) usually indicating the desperate need for the thing he just threw on the floor
Kitty - any animal except a dog
Doggy
Gooo - fist bump or "cheers"
High-five
Up - down
Down - up
Down please - we tried teaching him to say "please" when he wanted out of his high chair.  He said "down please" once and in the interest of positive reinforcement we shouted "YAY!!"  So now every time we say "Liam, say 'down please'" he shouts "YAY!!".  No, we don't know what we're doing.
Dadeee! - father
Mama - mother, father, or any familiar person

Choo-choo - any vehicle but a car

Car

Cool shoes - He LOVES shoes (see video)

Shower

Outside

Toy

Egg - any food but bananas and toast

Banana

Toast

Pool

Book

Cup

Whoa, whoa, whoa - objection

Night, night

Hey, where you goin?

So not a lot of complete sentences (apart from the last one which freaks me out every time) but I think he's got his bases covered.  He's two for crying out loud!  Besides what the BabyCenter.com shmoes fail to take into account is the genius of efficient communication.  Genius!  And how many people do you know who wouldn't be improved by talking less?  I can think of seven apart from myself.
