		<description><![CDATA[Our two year old daughter is very verbal.  She uses over 300 words regularly and is starting to string together short sentences, which is fairly typical for an average 24 month old.  Six months ago, however, Addie only used three words: mama, dada, and Puppy (her nighttime lovey), despite the fact that we talked, sang, [...]]]></description>
