(no subject)
When I married Mike, I kind of suspected that any children we might have would be smart, if only because Audrey, Cc and Michael are so brilliant. I'm pretty sure I've referred to them as "frighteningly intelligent" in previous LJ entries. :)
Morganne fits right in with her siblings, apparently. She is now two months shy of being a year and a half old, and she already has a vocabulary of over 100 words (including numbers and letters of the alphabet).
Since I don't want to forget the details over time, I'm making a note of what she can say right now.
Morganne's language skills at 16 months:
She can count to five. She can also say numbers 6-9, but not in sequence.
She can say all the letters of the alphabet except W. Sometimes she even says some of them in order without help.
Single words (nouns, verbs, etc. that she associates with the proper object, action, etc.):
Mama
Daddy
Audrey
Audge (Audrey's nickname)
Cc
Michael
Morganne
Bobbie (nickname for bottle)
Juice
Cracker
Cookie
Bath
Hugs
Kisses

Joe (as in Blue's Clues)
Up, please. ("Pick me up, preferably to read the book I'm giving you," or "Get me out of the crib.")
Thank you. (Said whenever you give her something. She giggles when you say "You're welcome.")
Out
Down
Right away. (Usually said when it's time to change her diaper, because it's part of the diaper changing song I made up and sing to the tune of "Frère Jacques.")
La la la... linoleum (from the L song originally sung by Ernie and Bert on Sesame Street)
Yes. She can say "linoleum." It is a total guilty pleasure of mine when she does it in front of other people, because their reaction is priceless.
She's picking up more words every day, it seems, but those are the ones she says on a regular basis. I now know what it's like to be proud and terrified at the same time. Somehow, I suspect I'm not the first mother to feel this way.
