Charlotte has an appointment today with the linguistics lab at UMD. Every so often one of the resesarch departments call with a study for infants/small children. They are very interesting and aside from the schlepping around I enjoy them. Charlotte usually gets a free toy or book.
Today it's the linguistics lab and they sent a worksheet to fill out for how many words C says. I didn't really think she was saying all that much but apparently she has more words than I gave her credit for. She "talks" all the time with all sorts of things using proper tone and inflection. For example, she'll hold something up to me, say a few words and then end on a high note as if she's asking a question. Plus she sings in the car all the time. I love it! I figure when she really starts talking she'll start with sentences LOL!
Here are the words she can say at 17 months 5 days:
ouch, uh oh, dog, doll, banana, shoe, ow, fork, light, out, da da, mama, bye-bye, snack, thank you, that, this, down, Charlotte, Declan, Matthew, Mia.
I think her first word was Matthew, although, I didn't realize what it was at the time. Whenever he's around and then goes somewhere, Charlotte calls his name and goes looking for him. The other week when he spent time at the in-laws, she went in his room at bedtime calling and looking for him.
Brothers are very special :)
