23 months

It's been a while since I did an update like this about Lea, so here goes - I have a feeling that it will nice to have this all written down somewhere at some point.

At 23 months:

• She is speaking in 5-7 word sentences. 
• She knows the difference between mine and your, and uses them correctly.
• She has started memorizing books and songs and repeating them to us.
• She says "octopus," but it sounds exactly like "applesauce."
• She can count to ten, but usually skips from 2 to 6.
• Can sing up to G in the ABCs song. She can recognize a few letters, including M, O, and Snake.
• She tries to do somersaults.
• We spend a large portion of the day talking about raisins, eating raisins, and asking for more raisins.
• Still super picky, but other favorite foods are chicken nuggets, yogurt, bananas, anything with chocolate in it, and bacon. 
• This, from her first ever parent-teacher conference:
  
• Favorite songs: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Row Row Row your Boat, God Bless America, Tweezer Reprise by Phish.
• Favorite books: Silly Little Goose, Egg in the Hole, Jesse Bear What Will you Wear, any pop-up books.
• Gets mad when she has to change out of her pajamas in the morning.

This kind of sounds like a braggy list, I think. Look at all the stuff our kid can do! But it's just so fascinating to watch her develop and I want to remember what happens when.

Oh, and this happened today:
