Exploding Vocabulary

June is learning to say new words every day. It's amazing, sometimes funny, and really cool to see her experiment with trying to say words, and then make the transition from just parroting what we say to actually putting the word to use.  Today I sat down and started to make a list of the words June can use.  There are more that she will imitate, but these are the words she uses on her own.

People Words	Food/Drink Words	Object Words	Other Words
Mama	milk	ball	more
Dada	coffee	block	please
Nana	cracker	clock	all done
Grampa	pasta	rock	bye bye
Baby	nana	sock	hi
Garfunkel		shoes	ouch
Bert		bubbles	hot
		brush	yum yum
		bird	up
		bees	down
		book	no
			diaper

She knows the animals sounds for dog, cat, pig, duck, sheep, snake, chicken, cow and monkey.  

She can point to her eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, tongue, hair, eyebrows, belly, belly-button, hands, fingernails, knees, feet, and toes.  

She can sign: mama, dada, more, milk, all done, drink, eat, please

I of course don't want to rush through her toddler years but I am excited for her to use more complex language.  Based on her demeanor I feel like she will be a pretty funny kid.  I will definitely be keeping track of the funny, wacky, smarty-pants things she says :)
