Bragging Rights

We did a quick count this morning of how many words they know--specifically those they actually say and understand, as they know a lot of others they do not yet say back, such as commands. So far we are up to 80 words. "The books" say toddlers should know about 50 words by the time they turn 2 and "may even" know 50 words by the time they are 18 months. They are 17 months, not taking into account the -2 months accounted for being preemies so I just had to leave a short post remarking how proud we are of our little talkers!!
