Word Count

Sunny's 18 month checkup is coming this next week. I look forward to these visits, but one question always throws me off guard: "How many words would you say she has?" Does any parent really keep a count after about ten or so? In an attempt to be able to accurately answer this, I'm leaving this page open throughout the day to collect her words as she says them and as I remember them.

1. Hello (her first real word other than Mama and Daddy)
2. Mama
3. Daddy
4. (Sparkle's real name)
   
5. (Sunny's real name)
   
6. Hi
7. Bye - bye
8. All Done (does this count as one or two?)
9. Bites
10. Snack
11. More
12. Milk
13. Juice
14. Num-nums (as in food - not sure if that counts)
    
15. Yes
16. No
17. Uh-huh! (does that count? It's really cute!)
18. Doggy (along with the appropriate sound effects)
19. Kitty
    
20. Ni-night
21. Hug
22. Up
23. Please
24. Thank you
    
25. Let's...
    
26. ...Go (yet's go)
    
27. Look (yook)
    
28. Get it
29. Raf-fe (her pet giraffe's name)
30. Book
31. Pretty
32. Nose
33. Socks
34. Shoes
35. Diaper
36. Cracker
37. Yummy
38. Minute (as in "just a minute")
39. Love you
40. Bless you (after we sneeze or cough)
41. Hat
42. Off
43. That
44. Cheese
45. Nice
46. Dress
47. Slide

That's about all I've got at this point. More are added every day, it seems. It's wonderful to hear Sunny's vocabulary blossom and get to know our little lady better every day!
