Iza turned 22 months on November 30th. We had some friends over for crepes and we all sang her happy bday, and she was almost blushing!

This is what we've been able to compile of her words by now, in no particular order. The list began shortly after her 21st month bday, so words with an asterisk (*) are from the last few weeks... of which there've been several! Also, we've been teaching her sign language (ASL), so words marked with a dollar sign ($) are ones she signs, too. Perhaps I'll add a 'sign only' list, as there's still many she can't say but can sign (like frog, cat, etc.)

Enjoy!
