Ususal speech development

DS has been late talking, under 10 words on his 2nd birthday. His understanding hs always been unusally good and he chose to make up a lot of signs to commmunicate needs that were very clear for even strangers. Now he's flying with his speech, obviously setences are being used. Like many toddlers he struggles with many sounds, but some words are just babble to us and he gets frustrated. He has a habit of adding sounds which makes speech harder to understand, even on familiar words. For example if you say 'bus' he says 'buss-ee' or adds a 'sss' to words. 'ee' is most commonly added to the end of words, but other words can have extra which added to poor sounds is very hard to get, e.g. juice becomes 'jui-ith-th'

Does this sounds familiar to anyone for a 2 year old? His hearing seems bang on btw, can hear a sweet wrapper rustle in another room over tv noise! He's very alert and observant. It is a bi-lingual house, which I think alter some sounds he uses but it's the adding bits onto or jumbling words when not used alone that I'm confused by.
