Couldn't help it, my son was going Waaaah waaah wah wah, about not getting something he wanted and so I started to imitate him, then our daughter joined in, and all three of us were going waaahh wahhhh, but he was alternating with giggling at us, then back to frowning and going waahh wahh again 
Its a bit of a new thing, he's largely progressed to grizzling as a complaint instead of hitting himself in the head so I see it as a big positive.

We do that too.
Mine will also dramatically say "Bad day!" any time he's not happy with something as if any little thing could ruin his whole day. I have no idea where he got it from.

I've done this with my son too. At least it's a form of interaction.

I have no idea where he got it from.Mine says "Number eight!" when he's upset. He's got his own code for a lot of things. "Number seven" means he wants to go out, and "E" (sometimes accompanied by a sign language letter e) means he's hungry.

That's funny. It reminds me of a time when my son was about two, he'd pull every crayon out of the tin (hundreds of them) and yell "EIGHTEEN!" at me until I'd say what color it was. He doesn't do that anymore. He did have me worried a few months ago when he started saying "Brassiere!", he was very insistent ... I was afraid maybe he'd gotten on YouTube unsupervised and memorized a bra commercial or worse. It took about a week but I finally figured out that "Brassiere" is actually supposed to be "Buzz Lightyear" - all that time he'd been asking to watch Toy Story or for me to get his Buzz Lightyear toy for him, etc. He still calls him Brassiere.

On another note, my sister's baby son just turned 6 months old. He is not sitting up, talking, babbling, or crawling yet, so I'm a bit worried. The family history on her husband's side of the family also isn't too great. Her baby (who was born full-term and a healthy weight) was in the intensive care unit of the hospital for ten days after birth for failure to eat (couldn't figure out how to latch onto bottle or nipple and wouldn't eat enough). However, he has not been diagnosed with anything.
I have a cousing that was like this at that age. It turned out she had severe brain damage caused by oxygen deprivation at birth. She never learned to walk, talk, feed herself, etc. Very sad situation.
This is interesting, my son 'failed to thrive' as they term it when he was born, we ended up seeing paediatricians and also going to the hospital, and looking back we realise he couldn't work out how to breast feed very well, so had to be taught what to do with a lot of help from midwives (my wife had breastfeed our other child before so no problems there).
Once he 'got it' he was good, and made the usual milestones pretty much normally until 2 when his lack of language, pointing and apparent deafness became worrying.
He had no particular problems during delivery, Apgar was good, weight good.
My wife had a bad pregnancy though, lost 10Kg, hospitalised for Hyperemesis, tube fed for 3 weeks etc. I often wonder if her starvation had anything to do with his outcome

My own kids didn't have any problems feeding, so I was super surprised about my nephew. After reading about it, I learned that his feeding problems could be associated with classic autism, mental retardation, other serious neurological issues, or something wrong with his tongue. I've been worried for a while about him.

My X's nephew could not say T and he would say something that sounded more like an F and his parents thought it was funny to make him say "truck" or "trucker"
My daughters new thing is to scream that her leg hurts whenever she is upset about anything.

My son likes the kid's show the Electric Company and his new random thing is to yell "HEY YOU GUYS!" (from the them song) when he is upset.
