Okay, "Bye-bye" is the new "Yay!" for Connor these days. He says it in this high-pitched, kind of dreamy way, almost a baby version of a falsetto, extending the last vowel sound, so it's sort of "Bye-byyyyye."
He has some sense of context for it. He likes to say "bye-bye" as anyone, including himself, goes out the door. Especially memorable for Sarah was his invoking it when they went to a beach by a lake recently with her friend Katy. Sarah would sit Connor on the edge of the water, and he would say "Bye-bye" and crawl purposefully off into the water, at which point she would grab him and repeat the funny, but a little scary, process.
He also uses it when someone comes in the door, however, and is especially pleased to say it when we go in to get him after a nap. It seems that for Connor, "Bye-bye" is like "Aloha," and can mean hello and goodbye.
