Alexa's vocabulary

At the age of 10 months, Alexa had a vocabulary of several words. Then from the age of ~12 months to 15 months, Alexa stopped saying any words other than "dada". We learned that she wasn't hearing much due to fluid in her ears.
After her ear tube surgery (it's been about a month) we've seen a HUGE difference!
Here's the words she's now gained in the past month:

1. Mama (finally! Yayayayay!! It really broke my heart that she couldn't say my name)
2. Nana
3. Dada (that was the one word she never stopped using)
4. Car ("cah")
5. No
6. Mine (this is one of her favorites)
7. Dog ("dah")
8. Cat ("Caa")
9. Cracker ("caw-ker")
10. Car
11. Bottle ("bah-l")
12. Hi ("hi-eee")
13. Bye bye
14. All done ("ah duh", which she said before her ear problems)
15. Go
16. Peek
17. Ta da! (she uses this when she does her jumping tricks)
18. Owl
19. Bear ("bee")
20. Nose
21. Book ("boo")
22. Bubble
23. Dot ("Dah, Dah, Dah" she says, as she draws dots on her white board)
24. Lay down
25. Airplane
25. Bird

In addition, she's making animal noises:
1. "ooh ohh ahh ahh" (monkey)
2. "Wooo wooo" (dog)
3. Snorting (pig), which is more of a strong breathing

We've been so happy to see her amazing progress since getting her ear tubes!!
