159 words *

While I was changing Cate's diaper last night, she heard Greg turn on the TV in the other room. She heard the cheers of a basketball game, so she said, "ballgame." I realized that's one of only two compound words she says. (The other is "bathroom," as in the room in the house, not the way we sometimes use it as a verb.) She is starting to put two words together -- "sit down," "down, please." So I told Greg this mommy revelation of mine, and we started making a list of all her words, the ones she says regularly and in the right context because really she'll try to repeat anything ...
