Default Your Greys Vocabulary

I was just wondering what kind of vocabulary your greys have?
I got Boca when she was five and she is still learning new words every day. I tried to count and record how many words she knows; last count was 64. That does'nt include sounds like phones, microwave...

Meko has a HUGE vocab. I was trying to keep track and I think I stopped somewhere around 100. She also teaches Scarlett to talk in fact I think that Scarlett things her name is Meko LOL. My favorite thing that Meko does is she holds her talon up in the air and says "Whatssss Upppp"

We haven't counted Oliver's lately but the last count was around 250 and that's been a while ago. It's hard to keep track of it if you don't write it down at least once a week or so. This question has inspired me to start a "Word Journal". I think I'll keep a pad beside my laptop and record his sentences. Getting started is no problem... just keeping at it is a challenge. hahaha

Ollie is 20 months old and her vocabulary is growing pretty quickly. Just this past week she has picked up "good girl", "pretty bird", "wanna squirt", and "Ollie!" . She likes to combine them. Today I heard her say "Ollie, wanna squirt", followed by "good girl Ollie" (yeah right, lol!). Her favorite phrase is step up. She says it when she wants to step up, and also when I reach for her and I forget to say it. She also loves (the game and the phrase) "Peek a boo"- we play every morning with a towel, which I really need to get on video!

2 nights ago she was chewing on my purse so I said "Ollie! Wanna squirt??" and she replied with "Ollie, wanna squirt?? shoo shoo" (the sound of the squirt bottle). Then she laughed! She was mocking me!

OMG.. that's hilarious. Yep she was mocking you just like a true CAG.

Honestly, Max's vocabulary is up there. It's quite scary when you can practically hold a conversation back & forth. Max said a few words before a year old but than after a year it was like the word flood gates opened up.

ok, Emma is really good at Farting....does that count?

My best talker was Sampson. His vocabulary made you shake your head and wonder....like the videos that Jill posts of Oliver.

Stirling surprised me alot lately. He knows more then he has lead on....Sydney learns from Stirling. His vocab is limited right now...Emma doesnt feel the need to talk. She screams and farts to voice her opinions.
I have heard her say " Emma, Em, Wynn(lynn) Hi and I think Pop-pop"

Jessie is 24 now (or older). She has an unbelievable vocabulary. She has probably learned more in the last 10 years than she has her entire life. No clue how many words she says.
