Lorelai at 23 Months

Lorelai is really talking up a storm nowadays! Her most popular phrases are "Thank you Momma", "Show me" (when going through Look & Find Books), "Read the Book" and "No". Although she likes to say "no", she sure does not like to hear it....so we've been witness to many a tantrum lately. She settles down quick when the trantrum is not acknowledged.
I recall when Abby was about 22-23 months, she would say "pink" to describe every color I would point to. I also recall at that time I was concerned Abby could be color-blind, because Ben never did that and I did not know any better. Abby soon after learned to distinguish different colors. I bring this up because at this time, Lorelai answers "blue" to describe every color I point to.

Lorelai's favorite foods right now seem to be black beans, brown rice, broccoli, GF waffles, bell peppers, apples, beets, GF pizza, samples at GHM, GF pasta, raisins, melons and grapes. She does not seem wild about potatoes and is finicky about meats. She enjoys her smoothies but makes quite a mess (though so do her older siblings!).
