A couple of my friends were talking about how they were concerned about how many words their almost two year old has. Here is the list Stephen and I came up with in the last hour. My understand is that if they use a two phrase word together like "thank you" that it only counts as one word. The reason that I counted car/carseat and ice/ice cream as two seperate words is that she recognizes the difference between them. Animal sounds count as a word.
