Smartie Britches!

We are SO proud of Gabe for all he has learned this past year, or a little more (14 months), and we just realized while on our recent vacation (after seeing other kids about his age) how large his vocabulary is. We started to think about how many words he actually knows and uses correctly, in contex, and it's pretty surprising. You might not believe it until you can hear him for yourself, but he actually gets it. What a whiz!

Here is a list of all 40 of the words Gabe currently has mastered....
