Cloe's limited vocabulary and the fact that she is asking "What's that?" questions suggest that she is likely around 2 years old. It is common for children at this age to be curious and ask questions about their surroundings, and their vocabulary typically consists of around 200 to 300 words. Children at 4, 5, or 6 years old typically have a much larger vocabulary and may not ask "What's that?" questions as frequently.
