Going back to the 18-month development questionnaire we answered during Chloe's 18-month check up, when I answered "yes" to the question "Can she speak 8-40 words?", I really didn't know the exact number of words Chloe can speak. I never took a tally. That question stirred my curiosity so I went ahead and made a list of words Chloe can say. I have the list below.
The parentheses are the way she says the words. I probably missed a word here and there. As you can see, her vocabulary is 100+ words. And it's still growing since she picks up new words almost every day.
