Words

Well, we counted recently, and Fiona has about 60 words she can say now, counting animal sounds as words. Pretty good, considering she didn't say any words until she was a day shy of her first birthday.

Some of them are more decipherable than others, but we're not talking about hearing the baby say "uggugrurgle" and deciding she's saying "antediluvian". In each case, she's definitely saying the word.

Here's the more or less complete list, which will no doubt be out of date by the time you read it:
