I've been using this web site Between the Lions . Word Helper @ PBS Kids with Quinn in the mornings while he eats his bottle. He is very receptive and listens attentively while I say the words and make up sentences. NOT in this particular dictionary but now his current fav. word that sends him into peals of high-pitched giggles- TORTOISE. The kid cracks me up.
