I guess I don't really care to count the words.

I really have no idea at this point. And she is always surprising us with words we did not know she knew. Like this morning she found an Elmo toy someone gave us, she handed it over and said "Elmo," no idea how in the wold she knows Elmo. I guess some kid at school taught her who he is?
And I am guessing some of the stuff we pass off as babble are actually words.
Not that she has some giant vocabulary at this point (though she definitely understands way more than she can say), I just have not kept track.

I don't keep track so no idea. She says plenty though so I'm not worried, my guess is she is right on track. Thank god for daycare because she learns a lot there.

Right now we are more focused on using words properly - like saying please and thank you and using words to tell us what she wants. She likes to just say bite bites or bites for food so we will ask her what kind she wants, trying to get her to be more specific.

This.

Eta I voted 21-30 but that's a total guesstimate.

Uhhh not counting. I'm pretty sure he is age-appropriate.

[ice61313]

Not counting. Often, I forget what words she knows until she up and says them. She'd rather work on phrases than individual words, though.

[sweetpies]

I don't know. We've stopped counting.

[afmama22]

I stopped counting when it passed 10, but she is right on track I'm sure. She uses a lot of 2 word sentences and a couple 3.

+2. Way too many to be easily tracked but not like she's bringing up existentialism at the dinner table. I think she's age appropriate so I'm not monitoring it. If I had to ballpark I'd guess between 80-100 but who knows.

With DD1 I kept a list until she got to 50 because EI labeled her almost delayed (she caught up fast). With DD2 she has always been so verbal I barely thought about it. Enough to keep the pediatrician more than happy and moving into legitimate 2-3 word phrases in the past couple of weeks. Verbal is her thing as opposed to motor.
