So Many Words!!!

This week, I got one of my weekly updates from Baby Center.  This one was focused on verbal development.  Of course, "normal" is a wide range but I couldn't help comparing Carder to the normal average they stated.

Apparently, at this age, it is normal or average to have 12-15 words that can be said clearly.

I knew that Carder said more than that, so immediately I felt a sense of pride.  However, I hadn't taken the time lately to actually count the words he could clearly say.

After attempting to count them verbally, I lost track of how many words I had gotten to.  I decided that writing them down probably a better idea...

I am positive that my list wasn't all inclusive because I found making many mental notes of words I had forgotten to include.  I also included some animal sounds that he makes (as those are actually words too) to identify certain animals.

The last number on my written list was 130.  I am one proud Mommy. 

Apparently all of that constant chattering I do has paid off!
