Lyla's words

We were at the doctor last week for Lyla's 15 month check up. During the examination, Dr. Wallace was asking us questions to gauge Lyla's development levels for areas like motor control, growth, socializing, and learning. One of the questions he asked us was "Does she know at least four words?" Katherine and I both looked at each other and we both were like, "Uh, yeah."
