We have a bunch of toy bats at home in various styles and sizes, and Quentin has become obsessed with them recently. So much so, in fact, that they led to his first three-word sentence! While playing with the small plastic bats in the bath a few days ago, he realized that I hadn't given them all to him. Hence the sentence "more bats please." He has also followed up with "more cheese please." We're getting more two-word phrases as well ("more cake," "open treasure"). I tried to count up his entire vocabulary and came up with just over 70 words (and I keep thinking of things I forgot...). Although the range of "normal" for kids his age is huge, this is well within that range. Hooray! He took his time about starting to talk, but now he's really taking off.
He also counted to three for the first time today. We were counting bats in the bathtub (surprise) and he counted them "one, two, three, two." Two seems to be his favorite number--I have trouble getting him to start at one. Several times he counted "two, two, three, two, three, six." At least he's got the two-three sequence down! And he got the "one" part right a few times (including the first time).
