Allie and Kara's ever expanding vocabulary

Allie and Kara are now 19 months old. At this age Trevor was still stuck on his one and only word... ball. The girls on the other hand have a lot more than that. Is it because they are the second (and third) born, or because they are girls that they talk so much more?

Some of their words include: ball, apple, mommy, daddy, bye, hi, shoes, jacket, outside, bubble, kitty, book, sissy, allie, and baby. I'm sure there is more but that is all we can think of at the moment and since the girls are fast asleep we aren't going to quiz them on their words :)

If they see anything round, circles, balloons, etc they call it a ball. All animals are "kitties". Any fruit that is round is an apple.

I believe their favorite word is outside. Whenever we mention going outside they start saying the word over and over while hunting for their shoes and jackets. They then proceed to bring us the gear to put on them. All the while still reciting "outside! outside!" They even go to the door and try to open it. Just like Trevor we can usually reel them back in by telling them it is time to eat :)
