Words Chloe Can Say

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.
