Vocabulary

Everyone says I am paranoid for being concerned/thinking little one is behind developmentally in vocabulary. OK..so maybe I do obsess a bit about it. Various sources say an 18 month old should have a vocabulary ranging from 12 to 22 words they say clearly (including mama and dada).
Let's see, baby currently says:
Dada
Mama
Hi (almost always with kitty)
Kitty
Mouth
Milk
Juice
Shoes
Eye
Ball
Papa
Nana
That
Night Night
All of these are not clear but she does make a pretty close approximation. I am trying to NOT be so worried about these types of things but I still am.
Now is a good time to put some of those Montessori ideas to work :)
