How is it that my brilliant child knows 50 words-- a mind-bending 47 more than the underachieving What to Expect: The Toddler Years advises me to expect-- and still has not mastered food-related words like "more" or "eat" or "food"?
It's not that she doesn't love to eat; my girl is off the charts in more ways than one. And if I run a little late for dinner, she'll retrieve a play spoon and bowl from her kitchen and position herself in front of me, pretending to eat and saying "Yummy!" How come all of a sudden she's so circumspect about demanding something?

And according to your word list she can say "Sylvia" and still no Grandmama or even anything close??? No name that is mine alone? What kind of a crazy household are you running there?
You are "Mama." She has made this very clear. I am "Mommy." There's something pleasantly Southern about her calling you Mama, so I'm ok with it.
Maybe we can nudge her into moving from "mama" to "mamaw." I feel weird being called "mama." Like it is temporary and borrowed.
