My little boy is getting SO big! He is learning new words every day and is constantly amazing me with how smart he is. Our most recent word count is up to 45 words that he can say clearly enough for a stranger to understand He has many more that WE understand but that others probably wouldn't The standard for 18 months is being able to say 15-20 words! He won't be 1 and a half for another month and at the rate he is picking up words he is going to easily triple that standard
Pardon my bragging I can't help it!
