MA-NA-MA and other stuff

Little Nugget has been yapping up a storm lately.  She's always seemed pretty advanced with her language skills, saying her first words when she was 10 or 11 months.  I got my weekly email from Babycenter.com last week; it says that most 18 month olds should have a vocabulary of about a dozen words.  I've been keeping a notepad close by for the last few days trying to record all of the words she uses frequently, and counted close to 100 words.  These are words that have meaning to her and are attached to objects or ideas, not ones she's only just heard us say and repeated.  She is adding to her vocabulary extremely rapidly at this age...I feel like this list was only about half this size last month.
