What helped you figure out what he was saying? Give us a bit of context!
Two clues:

She's improved her pronunciation a little and now says it "bedha".

She usually says it while reaching for one that we keep by the door, on the way out of the house.

DS's pronunciation has really improved... this game isn't as fun as it used to be .
I have no idea how a German U sounds, so I can't guess at all. Unless maybe it's "itch" lol.

Yes!

What drove me particularly insane about this word was that the first time she said it, we were in the car, in a station wagon, with her sitting next to me in the back seat in a rear-facing carseat. There was an umbrella in the back that she could see that I could not, and it wasn't until she'd been telling me about the "beha" over and over for several minutes that I finally turned around and realized what she was talking about.

I've been following this thread, but I haven't contributed anything before now because I am absolutely useless at translating toddlerspeak and my dd has always pronounced things pretty clearly...

But I finally have a word!

Oh I also want to say that my item "beeper" is reusable in MY house but not necessarily EVERYONE's house.

So...it's something we use EVERY DAY, he's got LOTS of opportunities to use this word, and it's an item that is reusable for US but not necessarily EVERYONE.

Yep, Cheerios. (I even have it on video... it's really high and squeaky at the end of the clip, lol). She also says it in this one too.

And yours has got to be mayonnaise.

"beeper", occasionally "deeper" is diaper. While he does know what the potty is and occasionally asks to sit on it, he doesn't yet "produce"
