Language Explosion!

As most of you know, Campbell has been in speech therapy since last summer.  We have seen such amazing progress, especially recently.  Back when she started, Campbell couldn't point to body parts or pictures in a book and said less than 5 or so words.  Her speech therapist and I were discussing this week the number of words Campbell uses and I got curious...so Robbie and I sat down and listed them out.  Her speech therapist guessed it was between 50 and 60 but the actual number is over 100!  This number is growing every day as she learns new words or we realize that we left off words...

WOW!! Noticed three words of importance-I want money-they learn so young these days, wait, just realized she knows the word -more- soon it will be "I want more money". Teach her to say "Nana" first and you guys wont have to worry, it will be "Nana, I want more money." ha ha ha love you all, Di
