Language Explosion!

So, I've been told that they call 18 months the "language explosion." I have been looking forward to said explosion more than you can imagine, but pretty uncertain that it would live up to expectations with our quiet little mouse. But after this week, it looks like we might be headed for an actual explosion! After developing the skills to sign and say help, she has suddenly started saying the words baby and more, and signing eat and more. We are thrilled to see some progress, and although it's not a lot, we think baby steps are just fine!
