Katherine update

Well, she's now constructing her own two-word phrases. That is to say, she's been saying things that are technically two words together for a while, but those were all canned phrases; e.g. "fall down" at the end of "Ring around the Rosie".

But she's now saying "up shoe" and "up shyock" when she wants her shoes or socks taken off. She'll come to us and say "up shoe, up shoe" to have us take her shoe off and then once we've done that she'll say "up shyock" to get us to remove her socks.

Yesterday I heard her say "up shammies" in the morning while pulling at her pajamas (which she's called "shammies" (for "jammies") in the past).

So that's another language development milestone.
