Besides saying "gato, Neta, papai, mamãe, mommy, pé, rua" Ju is producing a lot more language than previously understood.
A dictionary of understanding Ju:
OOOOOO-vah: Uva = grape
Ah-poo: apple or any white fruit that you have to cut up (this includes pears) - you'll notice this is the only word besides boob that he uses English
Boo: Boob/ I want a boob to suck on
Too-tah: Ducha = shower and also "I am ready for a nap" since he takes a shower before sleeping
Oh-ão: Avião = airplane or anything else in the sky
Mah-mão: Lava mão = wash my hands/ my hands are dirty/ I want a napkin to wipe my hands
Toh-toh: (I think) cocó = poop/ my diaper is dirty/ I want to take off my diaper
Pehshhhhh: Peixe = fish
Cah-o: Carro = car or anything with wheels
Pah-pah-poo: pato = duck
Pah-pah-too: Sapato = shoe or sandle or anything that goes on your feet
Oof: Lixo = something that goes in the trash, like a peice of paper or lint
Also to be noted: all finger puppets say "tchucka tchucka tchucka" for some reason. And "tugudah tugudah" may mean "agua e gas chegou" or it just might mean "truck."
It seems he has figured out I speak Portuguese, and everyone else is speaking Portuguese, so there is no real need for him to say things in English, since English is something that one person will understand versus the other 10 or so important people in his life, so Portuguese seems to be the way to go.
