This whole language development thing is fascinating.  A month ago she only said Mama and Dada, and she grunted or cried for everything else.  She is communicating in some very interesting verbal and non-verbal ways!  She's pointing to things, she'll try to open the fridge when she's thirsty, and she reaches for the door knob when she wants to go outside.  It's really nice to watch her tell us what she wants.  I feel like we're guessing less and less every day.
