At 15 months, Addie’s vocabulary is growing. Some of her favorite words right now are “Stop,” directed to the dogs, and “Nooo” with a upper Midwest elongated vowel sound. (Steve says she must have picked that one up at daycare since she’s NEVER heard it at home.) Even funnier is her constant chatter. She is very serious about whatever she’s saying, and she often accompanies it with a raised eyebrow and a head shake.

Here’s a list of her current words.
