But she wasn't really using words so much as making noises. Cute. . . but not particularly helpful. She had some words in her repertoire as early as 1 1/2. . . BUT, it was limited to a handful, "no", "daddy", "car", "cracker", "mommy", and "papa". Literally. . . to answer your question I went back to an old journal I kept for the kids and found an entry dated 7/26/07 that listed those words as the only ones Lily knew. <br /><br />She stayed at about a dozen or so words for a loooong time.
