Teresa is 16 and 1/2 months old. Today I kept a list of all the words she spoke and signs she signed. Here they are, more or less in the order she spoke them:

Words:
nuh = nurse
nana = banana
dot (new word today)
bay = blankie
baby
hocka = hungry (as she climbs on high chair)
apple
book
muh = more
mun = milk
cookoo = cookie
bee = pen
No! (pointing the way I do when I scold her)
da/dats = that
nuh = nose
bear
cat
wackawacka = duck sound
bat = bath
uh-oh
up
wawa = water
bubba = bubble
car
buh-oo = balloon
woowoo = dog sound (her word for dog)
hay = hair
Papa
sigh-ow = outside
wet
bea = bird
hot (while touching cool oven door, and later when pointing to fire in a book)
rock
egg
Mama
kock = sock

Memere (when hoping to see her Memere on Skype)
maaa = sheep sound
ow!
zzz = flying insect sound
wiss = fish

biss = spill
ree = rain
bock = chicken sound
meh (funny strained sound) = horse sound
poopoo
joo = juice
ah gah = all gone
walk

moo = cow sound
bye bye

Signs (she does these while saying the word for all except those marked with *):
nurse
*cereal
*elephant
more
bird
milk
water
fish
all gone
*horse
down

She knows many more words (such as eyes and berry) and signs (such as frog and potty) but it's pretty neat to see all that she communicated in a single, average day (in which she woke at 7:45, napped from 12:30 - 3:30, and went to bed at 8:45; she was awake at home with just me for 10 hours).
