Beginning communications

I'm beginning to say a few words to my parents. I make only a few sounds, but you have to decipher from context what I'm talking about. For example, everything I say though starts with an M. "Ma?" means 'more' or 'I want that'; "Meh" can mean milk; "Mama" means 'mama' or 'carry me' or 'do this for me'.

The other sound I make is panting. I pant every time I see a picture of a dog, when I am describing something as hot, or if I see a horse.

Talking is slow going but I understand what people are saying and always seem to get what I want, so what's the hurry?
