Words of Macie

Macie is starting to talk like crazy. And we can understand her! Noah had a pacifier for nearly 3 years of life, and then was put on seizure medication that pretty much halted and speech development for a few months, so having our 18 month old say so many words is new to us! When we first moved to Torrance in October 2006, we had a dumb doctor tell us that she thought Noah was autistic. Her reasoning was that he didn't like the doctor, and wouldn't look her in the eye, and he didn't know 250 words. Okay, so I know and use 250 words on a daily basis? I mean he wasn't even 2 yet! 250 words? And of course he didn't like the doctor, he had just spend nearly 2 weeks in the hospital with seizures and pokes to draw blood every 2 hours. Would you like any doctor after that? And he was sick at the time we tooki him in anyway. So, we just didn't listen to the doctor, and everything is fine. Anyway. Macie knows lots of words. Last night, we were laying in bed, and Macie was with us, because she's been so funny lately. She loves to be with Daddy, so when he gets home, he instantly becomes Crazy Macie and doesn't want to sleep. She just wants to play with Daddy. But, she was saying so many words. so I was going through all of the words she knew. I'm curious to see the count. So, here are all of the words she says and actually uses. Here we go:
