More than Words

Jeff and Paige were having a discussion last night about whether one of the animals in Paige's picture book was a pony or a cow, and whether another one was a bunny or a doggie. It got me thinking that it might be good to write down all the words Paige knows right now. It's growing pretty long--43 words! In case you're curious (and since we haven't taken any pictures lately):

mama
dada
grandma
baby
hi
hello
go
cuppy
yellow
bye-bye
car
no
wow
bum
cool
key
eye
nose
ball
pretty
home
Jesus
please
cheese (Jesus and please both sound similar to cheese)
juice
banana ('nana)
apple
yummy
tasty
coat
hat
shoes
boo
cow
doggie
fish
bear
pooh
night-night
"what's that"
"what's this"
"it's a..."
and
Rawr!

Jeff says that kids are ideally supposed to have around 200 words in their vocabulary by age 2. At this rate, I think we're a shoe-in!

  1. I'll bet there's even more like...drink and cookie. (Laughed at Rawr!) Brilliant child--but with her fine genes how else could she be?
