Hardly a day goes by that we don't think and talk about Jordan. How big is she now? Is she talking? What is she doing now?
I have read on the internet that the vocabulary of a typical 19-month-old toddler may consist of as few as ten words or as many as 50. Some may be able to link two or more words together, and is starting to use more "action" words. Verbs like "go" and "jump" are common, and so is linking a verb with her name (or pronoun), as in "Come me," meaning "Come with me." (It will be some months before she inserts the preposition.) Many 19-month-olds are also well-versed in direction words such as "up," "down," "under," "out," and "in."
I wonder how many words Jordan uses. I imagine her vocabulary is probably pretty good. She seemed so intelligent as an infant.
I went shopping the other day and stopped at Carl's Jr for a soda break. There was a darling little girl at the table next to me. She was smiling at me and "flirting" with me; encouraging me to interact with her. We had a great time. I asked her mom how old she was and she told me 19 months. (The same age as Jordan.) I just admired her and soaked up all her mannerisms and actions. It helped me see how Jordan probably acts. Meeting this little girl had special meaning for me. Such an adorable stage!
