I keep hearing this statistic that all kids should know 50 words by the time they are 2. Henry is getting close to that age and I am starting to worry that he is drastically behind! Granted he is a boy and the second child, both of which do not bode well for his language development, but still...I am a mother. I worry.
Here is the list so far:
mama
dada
NO
MINE
no (as is "nose")
more
ni-ni (as in "night night")
bye-bye
not nice (accompanied by a good finger shake)
OW! (quite useful for an active toddler)
ball
kee-ka (for kitty)
oogy (for doggy)
*He says something for sissy/Frances but I can't really tell what it is or how to spell it
OK, I know I am forgetting some, so I will comeback to edit when I remember them. So far, this is a really sad list!

I am a 30-something mom of three. I work in a great office at a great university and I get to look at books all day long! I love to read, blog, and spend time with my family.

let me tell you, Robert was slower with his words than Mary seems to be so far. I was really worried and then all of a sudden he took off. :)
