It seems that Kendal is quite the chatterbox these days (well, she always has been). Since she is now 18 months I thought I would post all the words that she knows but I'm sure I'm missing a few. She is really getting good at putting two plus words together and Grammie and Grandpa swear she put four words together, of course it happened to be the phrase...."I don't want that". Lately we've been working on spelling her name and learning/memorizing her numbers - tonight I heard her say 7, 8, 9 three separate times in a row. So, here you go 153 words....in no particular order...
baby, ball, knees, toes, elbow, belly, eyes, nose, Harley, Khumba, Kendal, Cole, Jack, Royce, Grumpy, Rusty, Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Grammie, Nana, night night, "NO", yes, yep, fish, cat, dog, cow, horse, calf, crab, vacuum, shoes, cheese, big, peek, hat, wow, baa (sheep noise), sheep, moo, woof, meow, weee, owl, hoot, hot, cold, monkey, rocks, walk, boy, girl, bubbles, golf, oops, tail, milk, booty, hug, rice, bear, flower, go go go, "thank you", "uh oh", birdie, tweet tweet, octi (octopus), bunny, ellie (elephant), butterfly, bee, book, look, airplane, cute, apple, happy, off, up, cup, car, bug, stick, "you guys", "hey you", watch, ants, snack, pillow, "all gone", bite, "there it is", "get you", heavy, eat, bath, helicopter, on, gaffe (giraffe), ham, waffles, toast, eggs, open, closed, head, hair, "all gone", hippo, rhino, snake, "love you", ready, elmo, window, office, running, bite, gate, home, house, tiger, "be nice", "dropped it", color, toothbrush, jeep, truck, car, again, ice, "mommy's water", "mommy's lap", bus, "I pooped", movie, wet, backpack, "I good", stripes, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and "I don't want that".

Natural Health Remedies for Children
Fresh Ginger Tea for Car Sickness
"Ginger stops the stomach contractions that tell your child's brain he feels nauseous," says Dr. McClafferty. For children ages 2 and older, add a teaspoon of shredded fresh ginger to four ounces of boiling water, and let it steep for four to five minutes. You can add a bit of honey to make it taste better. After it has cooled, have your child drink it a half hour before getting into the car.
Your Blow-Dryer for Swimmer's Ear
This painful inflammation of the outer ear traps liquid and possibly bacteria. If the area has become infected, your pediatrician will probably prescribe antibiotic drops. But for mild cases, you can try evaporating the trapped water by standing a foot away from your child and aiming the dryer -- on the warm (not hot) setting -- at her ear, says Dr. Beard.
A Bandanna for Headaches
Wrapping several ice cubes in a dish towel will help soothe your child's head pain (never place ice directly on his skin because it'll burn), but it'll be hard for him to hold it in place for long, says Dr. Beard. To keep the towel-wrapped ice from slipping, press it against his forehead or temples and secure it with a bandanna tied at the back of his neck.
Bubble Wand for Anxiety
Breathing slowly and deeply will help your child relax when she's feeling stressed, says Lonnie Zeltzer, MD, director of the pediatric pain program at Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA and author of Conquering Your Child's Chronic Pain. Have your child blow long, slow streams of bubbles from the soapy wand.
Chamomile Tea for Colic
Peter Rabbit's mother fed him soothing chamomile tea in Beatrix Potter's classic tale, and you can give it to your infant to relax her intestinal muscles and calm her down, says Dr. McClafferty, a pediatrician in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Steep tea for four to five minutes, let it cool to room temperature, and then put one to two ounces in a bottle. Don't give your baby more than four ounces a day so that she'll be sure to have plenty of room in her tummy for breast milk or formula.

Honey and Lemon Juice for a Sore Throat
Lemon dries up congestion and honey provides a soothing coating, says Lane Johnson, MD, associate professor of clinical family and community medicine at the University of Arizona College of Medicine. In fact, a recent study found that a spoonful of honey eased kids' coughs even better than cough medicine. Mix together a tablespoon of each, microwave for 20 seconds until warm (not hot), and have your child swallow the mixture a teaspoon at a time. Caution: Honey is not safe for babies under 1 year.
