At 2 years 3.5 months Vidar is talking a lot and has many many words probably too many for me to write down here. His sentences seem mostly to be in Swedish, with some English words thrown in. His pronunciation is still limited in certain ways: k comes out as t and g comes out as d in all positions; l, r, y are all pronounced as y; no consonant clusters in evidence.
Lots of deictics, which he has had from the very beginning, although they have changed a little over the past year. His favourite ones are currently `dai' and `den', meaning `that location' and `that thing' respectively. His name for himself is Viva.
