Mommy got her babycenter.com update this week for 20 months, week 3. It focuses on language development. In the article, there was this bit of information:
19 to 24 months
Your child now understands as many as 200 words, though he'll probably use only 50 to 75 of them regularly. Many of these words will be nouns that designate objects in his daily life, such as "spoon" and "car." Between 18 and 20 months, his pace will pick up as he acquires ten or more new words each day. If he's especially focused on learning to talk, he can add a new word to his vocabulary every 90 minutes — so watch your language!
Amazingly enough, William just came out with four new words yesterday! "Computer," "engine," "knock-knock,"and "sing" premiered within a few hours of each other. He also had fun watching the Olympics last night and shouting "Awesome!" with Daddy as the skaters flew atop the ice.

I know! Our new fave phrases are "Oh boy!" and "Good throw." It seems like every time we turn around, the little chatterbox is adding something new. Which is both lots of fun and a good reminder to invest in words like "Fiddlesticks!" for those unpleasant encounters with sharp objects (I've gotten clumsy in my old age : ).
