The doctor's office asked us how many words Nora knows. We gave them a guess: maybe about 70.
But that started us counting all the words Nora says. We didn't count anything she says when she is just repeating what other people say; we kept it to words that she's really mastered, knows what they mean, and uses in regular conversation. The current count is 175! We read somewhere that the average 2-year-old knows 150 words. Nora is only 1 1/2 years old! What a verbal little girl we have!
Here they are, in no particular order:
mama, daddy, Iain, baby, blanket
