Language development is so cool, and I’m excited that we’re beginning
our two-way verbal communications. Looking forward to years of great
conversations with our daughter.

Sentences and Conversations
At 18 months of age, Taylor’s current favorite books are picture dictionaries,
and she continually surprises me with her vocabulary. (I couldn't begin to count how many words she has.) But a few weeks ago, she
started saying her first sentences. They began with “I need that,” followed
closely by “I need shoes/blanket/juice.” Then came, “I can’t see it!” when
referring to birds in a tree, lawnmowers, etc., that aren’t within view. The sentences
of the past week include “That’s a-mommy! That’s a-daddy!” and the possessive “That’s a-mommy
coffee!” and so on. I’m especially fond of “I like it!” (particularly when
applied to food I’ve made for her). She uses please and thank you in context,
and will answer with a very clear yes or no when pressed.
