What clues can you gather from this list of 50 first words on how a baby might acquire language?

Children from the day they are born see and hear new things from the list of 50 words you can clearly see that they learn to associate objects with sounds for example: quack-quack they associate with ducks. Commonly there first words are mainly things that they interact with daily for example: bowl, cup, book etc.
Also children seem to learn words from their parents or siblings; this is represented by the fact that the child says names like Jasper and Nana this shows me that the adults have introduced the child to these people and the child listens and remembers the names. This also shows that names are commonly picked up on in a child’s first words this is because they commonly come across them day to day.

 A child’s firsts words are also reflected in the child’s immediate surroundings, this is proven by the child’s use of words such as Jam and spoon this represents the child’s home, this shows me that a child’s development is influenced by where the child lives, who the baby lives with and the routine it follows.
