Some words about words

---- BRAG ALERT ---- So we had Leo's 18-month checkup on Friday and Doc was VERY impressed with how many words Leo knows. I'd guessed it was about 40 and Doc said that's typically more in the 2-year-old range for language development. Yay, Leo! And even better, Steven and I were talking and we think he actually knows a lot more than that. Probably closer to about 70. Let's see, in no particular order, there's....
