This is more of a post for me but I wanted to remember what all words Rylee is saying right now at 16 months. Of course as an speech-language pathologist I would prefer that she was talking in phrases and saying three times as many words as this but I have accepted that she is just too busy to sit down and talk so I will take what I can get! In no particular order-
bite, Bible, light, duck, bath, mama, hoo hoo (owl sound), Abby (Sandy's dog), woof, moo, milk, glasses, diaper, thank you, eye, ice, no, go, baby, ball, book, bye bye, hi, hot, drink, bottle, baa, yogurt, uh-oh, there, bag
She can imitate more than this but these are the words she actually uses spontaneously (sorry if that sounded too clinical). What is weird is that she won't say the names of anyone on her own. She calls everyone "mama" (sounds slightly different that the mama she calls me) but will eventually call them something else if I imitate their name a thousand times and won't drop it until she says something else. I wonder if it's because I'm the only one at home with her and that's the word she associates with people??? Fellow SLPs what do you think? The only exception to the rule is my sister's dog Abby. She starts calling her name as soon as we drive up to their house!

Personally, I think she is talking A LOT. Especially since she is already walking. She'll figure out the whole "mama" thing. She probably thinks she is saying different words if she is using different tones.
She is too precious! You are doing a great job!
