Making up language?

My daughter has always been quite precocious. But she has me stumped. She will be 5 in November... and she has been talking well for years (non stop!). But the past few weeks we have been noticing her making up new words when she talks to us. She has a new repetoire of words replacing English words - and she inserts them insto sentences intermittently, then tells us what the word meant.

It's been going on for a few weeks and now she is trying to write a little dictionary of her new words.

Anyone else have a kid who did this?
