1 year 3 months:

aba = aba (Dad)
ma ma = ima/mum
et ze - et ze (this)
eh meh = dummy
mao = meaow
bu = bakbuk (bottle)
bo = ball/baloon
be = pea
bi = dubi/bear
aya = shalva (a type of snack)
am am = i'm hungry
mu = moon
yay = light
may = mayim / water
mo = more
go = liftoach (liftoach means 'to open', but go comes from lisgor which means 'to close')
baaaaaa! = Wow! (this is usually said when Itamar makes a huge mess)

We hear mostly 'bi-labial' sounds, single syllables and lots of duplications, i.e.
go-go, ba-ba, meh-meh, ma-ma.
