"Dada" was his first word, and he has increased his vocabulary quite a bit. But now, for some reason, when I ask him to get me a diaper, his never starts with a "D." It always comes out as "bopper." I have tried prompting him: "Say diaper...d, d, diaper." And he will repeat: "d, d, bopper?" The inflection in his voice is always more of a question than a statement. And it sounds more like bopper than it does biaper. But he knows what it is, even if he can't say the word correctly.
Furthermore, he calls his brother, "Dat-chew"
Selective use of the letter "D" I suppose...

my son will be 3 in nov and he is in speech therapy daily as he is just starting to put 2 words together and is behind in his language skills...
He will say nose and city but will not say sissie (its hissie) and (stomach is tomach)
He will say sorry but will not say star he says (tar) its really weird!
you are lucky tho..my eldest son got on a no kick and it is all he said for about 2 weeks
couldn't even bribe a yes ,mama,or anything out of him!
My girls are 5 and learning phonics, but it's amazing what sounds they pick up on. I had a conversation with one about the word "tree", and she thought it was a "ch" sound, like "chree" -- we've had a hard time describing the difference! ;)
