Kiera's current vocabulary:

Mama
Dada
Molly (pronounced "Mah-eeeee.")
Kitty
Doggie
Meow
Woof
Bow wow
Na-na (our word for nursing)
Bottle ("bah-boo.") Also used for cup.
Banana (pronounced na-na, and yes, we tell it apart from the other na-na based on context)
Apple
Cracker (almost anything edible is a cracker)
Baby
Bye-bye
Hi
Up ("uppa")

Words we (or someone else) think we've heard her say, but aren't sure:

Poopy
Go
Cookie
Amah
Abi
Walk
Shoe
Nap
Book

She also shakes her head for "no." (Ed notes that it doesn't exactly mean NO. It means, "I don't want what you want.") She will run and get her coat and bring it over if she sees someone else getting ready to go out. She points to things she wants, and will say "buh, buh, buh" to ask for them. It's the "u" sound from "put," and I've wondered if she's saying "Boo" (her nickname) as in, "give that to Boo!" But she never identifies herself as Boo in mirrors -- she always says "baby." So, who knows.

I'm sure I've forgotten some words.

At 15 months, I'm just happy if a child has 2-3 words other than MaMa and DaDa.

Ah, I was going to ask how old exactly she was. I have several friends with kids around that age and I'm almost certain none of them speak that many words yet. That's impressive. :)
