Every once in a while I'm reminded that this blog is a place of record for my kids and their leaps and bounds. So I need to say today that over the past week, it seems, GK has begun talking. It is her birthright to talk - a lot - as she comes from a family of talkers. She's been taking gradual steps toward verbosity, but the past week has really seen a torrent of new words and sentence-like structures. I attribute this to the near-constant din in our house and needing to be heard above it, and the tutelage of Miss A. and her Montessori ways.
Here is a list of GK's vocabulary at 19 months in no particular order (except the first one):
Daddy
Mommy
ball
bye-bye
fish
yes
no
woof woof (her term for dog)
meow (her word for cat, though it's pronounced ew)
Toby
bath
ice
eat
baby
