Chatty Elise

Elise is at the 50 word mark!  According to research, a "language explosion" happens in toddlers sometime after they learn 50 words.

"Up to age 14 months, on average — and how soon kids speak is hugely variable — words pop out here and there. Then comes an acceleration, and after they can say 50 or so words there’s often a language explosion, sometime around 18 months, McMurray says."

Here's what she is saying so far.
