Growing Vocabulary

Matthew is making a lot of new sounds lately - and some of those sounds actually sound like real words!  With some practice, we got him to say certain words.  Here's a video of him and his current vocabulary.
Also wanted to capture some other things he currently does:
- He has this book about Thumper (the rabbit), and when you ask him where Thumper is, he'll tell you that he's Thumper by patting himself in the stomach area.
- When he wants to read a book, he'll back himself up to where I'm sitting in order to position himself to plop right into my lap.
- When there's a big step that he wants to go down, he'll lay flat on his stomach and scoot backwards to get down the step (sometimes he lays down pretty far away from the step and ends up scooting a lot more than he needs to)
- He's learned to point - he'll point at what he wants and if you give him something that he's not pointing to, he'll swat your hand away and keep pointing at what he wants.
- He's learned how to nod his head yes - but I don't think he knows exactly how to use it yet because when he's pointing at something and I point to what I think he wants and say "yes or no", he'll just nod his head yes and then shake his head no and then continue to point at what he wants.
- He has 16 teeth now.
