I haven't figured out how to get my (23-month-old) daughter to raise her voice. I suppose I'll regret it when she does.

Half of the time I can figure out what she's talking about, and the other half I can't. That makes potty training...interesting. Her first word was "No"...I hope that remains her first word during her dating years, but it helps ;itt;e with potty training. My 2-year-old daughter, Sierra-Girl, lives by the mumbles.

It's so much fun to watch, though it can be a bit frustrating at time.

I loved every minute of it. You literally get to watch this incredible brain develop and absorb and getting smarter and more articulate every single day. When my Okapis started talking, I mean, watching them two at a time was awesome, because they learned so differently, they gravitated to words in their own way and we got to watch the whole show. I remember one day trying to count all of the words they knew and being overwhelmed by how fast it was all happening. Enjoy this time and try to get as much of it on tape/video as possible.

We're knee deep in it too, went from single word demands to sentences and questions within months. Enjoy! Love the language explosion!
