Sam has probably been doing this for a little while and we just haven't noticed it except lately since it has gotten quite noticeable just in the past day or two. He has increased his vocabulary by about 10 words; he knows ball, this, yes, Sam, toast, cheese, duck, star and probably a couple more I can't remember at the moment. They are not fully articulated yet, but he is definitely trying to say the words and if you listen carefully, you can tell what he is saying.
We also figured out what he has been doing for about quite a while, like months. He has been saying Dat and pointing at stuff. We thought initially that he was wanting it, but he seems to want to know what it is. As soon as we tell him what it is, he moves to the next thing he is interested in and points to that with a cute little "dat", which we have come to identify as "that". Sam's grandpa Bob says that when babies start talking, they learn a new word every 1.5 hours on average. This is going to be fun.
