Talking in short phrases

As toddler reaches 2 years old, the language development begins to develop fast...and slowly a toddler will start to talk in a complete sentence i.e. I want milk.
The language development of a young toddler begins with 1 syllabus word - milk, daddy, mummy, car etc. Then 2 syllabus word - flower, open, apple, etc. From the 2 syllabus words, toddler will start to combine those vocab into 2 or more phrase i.e. big car, daddy's car, here pain etc.
Maximus's language development is in the milestone as he reaches 2 years old soon (in Nov). He begins to explore his vocab and combine words into short phrase. It's really cute and overwhelming to see how he uses his vocab in his daily conversation. I would said that I have totally lost count of the number of vocab that he has grasped.
He uses different type of vocab in his daily conversation and mostly in short phrases (2 or more words). I enjoy having a conversation with him especially when I read a book or tell a story to him. He is able to interact well... in his tiny voice, I found it a great achievement in his language development. Some phrases sounded silly yet cute and some are used in a very smart ways.
Here are some of the short phrases that Maximus are using:
  1. Big truck (or car, bus)
  2. Daddy's big car
  3. Mummy's bag
  4. Po-po's house
  5. Big house
  6. Kor-kor (or anyone in the family) pain-pain
  7. Mummy scold (or anyone in the family)
  8. No more thing
  9. No more flower (or any nouns of object)
  10. Daddy / mummy work
  11. More milk
These are few of the short phrases that he uses in his daily conversation. Some silly phrases are:
  1. Two milk (especially when he is being breast-fed)
  2. No more Doh-no (as referring to McDonalds)
  3. Bum-bum pain-pain (giving excuses not to wear diaper)
Slowly and surely, he will begin to progress to speaking in simple short sentences. And I am sure by 2 he won't stop talking... mostly the twos are the chatter-box because they start to "parrot" or imitate any adults' conversation.
