The words seem to be spilling out V at this point. She constantly surprises us. Not all of them seem to have semantic content for her, however; she is simply a very good mimic.
The bulk of her vocabulary still is in English: baby, banana, meow, pear ... and that's all I can think of at the moment that is new.
She continues to learn equivalent concepts in English and in Swedish. For example, if I say, "Where is Mamma's nose?" she points to my nose. If her dad says the same thing in Swedish, she successfully points out the right body part. And that's something! My nose is a much bigger target than her dad's.
I mentioned that V is a good mimic. This applies not only to words, but to "non-words" as well. I realized that she doesn't distinguish, for the most part, between a "word" (whatever that means; we linguists manage to complicate even what normal people would consider a common-sense concept like what a word is) and "nonsense." It is normal for a baby to experiment with the full capability of the human vocal apparatus, and then over time this robust repertoire is whittled down only to those sounds that are necessary to speak her native language(s). This is why, for example, an English speaker, like me, who hasn't learned to pronounce the French uvular "r" as a child may find it difficult to do so later in life. Or why Japanese people find it difficult to differentiate between "l" and "r" in English, etc. What amazes me is that, given the number of cool sounds humans are capable of making, it is usually a predictable set of them that tend to be used to make words in the vast majority of the world's languages. A comprehensive list of these sounds is represented by the International Phonetic Alphabet.
