John-ish (language rosetta stone)

John's speech is building up fast. It is hard to keep track of what he might be able to say now. He really has his own language right now:

"K-car" is "big truck"
"K-kuck" is "Fire truck"
"Sissy" is Maggie
"Joey" is James
"Boppa" is Grandpa
"Kee-Kee" is Uncle Jim (first), or any tall youngish man with a beard, second.
"tweet-tweet" is a bird, but he now recognizes robins as specific, and calls them "rob" (which then requires a rendition of "rocking robin" by the nearest adult, to avoid much screaming and unhappiness)
"-uh" is the universal suffix: bike-uh, milk-uh, seat-uh, etc.
