I ran across
this article today which lists the top 25 words every toddler should be using by the age 2, according to a study by the Child Study Institute (I'm sure they're the experts, they have an institute for goodness sake). These 25 words are considered to be the building blocks of a child's vocabulary. While the little man understands all of these words and can point/show you many of them, at this point we've only had audible confirmation of a handful, albeit some more forceful than others. #21 he can say with great zeal over and over again, and will even add in a hearty head shake for emphasis.
