Our pediatritions says by the time Hailey is 2 she should have a vocabulary of at least 50 words. That seems like a whole lot of words to learn in such little time! He says that she should also be able to put together small phrases. She says the normal words mama, dadda, juice, shoe, duck , dog, see, whats that, ut ohh, and her favoriate word ball. I have been trying to read to her and do her animal flash cards to teach her new words, but all the animals to baby Hailey are dog or duck! Is there anything else i can do to help her learn new words? Is there a list of certian words that all kids learn first? I am trying to get her to say please, but she seems to not have a clue what that word means. One word she is clear on is no. If i ask her a question and thew answer is yes she is silent but if it is something she does not want she shakes her head side to side quickly! ’
I know every child is different, and Hailey seems to be a very smart child. I will just keep reading to her and calling out the names of objects through out the day. Just because she is not verbaly repeating the words after me like i would like her to do, she is soaking it all up in her brain. I wish i had access to look and see all the things she has stored in there already! Children are so amazing!

My boy is almost 16 months old and he only says a few “real words”. He will talk your ear off, but it is a bunch of gubberish. About the only words/phrases he says are mama, dada, ouch, no, whats dat?, whos dat?, and he points at everything. So don’t feel bad…I’m right there with ya. I’m sure one day they will both just burst out with something along the lines of, “Let’s order pizza Mom!”
