New Word List for Jonathan

As Jonathan grows, so does his vocabulary. It is still very limited (it should take off around 18 months) but it includes some really cute words. Like his sister, he seems to learn words in bunches of 5 or 6. The previous bunch and the current bunch do not overlap. He also whispers when he says words with the exception of MO! (more) he knows that one very well and is not shy to say it.
Here's his 14 month word list:
cookie: perfect ennunciation. He said it for the first time to Betsy Mollenhauer, a cousin.
ding dong: perfect ennunciation. He says this when we come up to the front door and he wants to ring the door bell.
MO!: more
sha: shoe
fa fa: this means dog and is the sound that dogs make, according to Jonathan.
ba: ball
bu: bus
ticko ticko: tickle tickle. He holds up his feet after a diaper change for "tickle tickle."
There may be a few more, but these are the most common for this bunch of words. I am excited to see what he learns next.
