mon cherie at 23 months old

mon cherie turned 23 months today - looking so demure and sweet as she watched baby einstein (baby noah) with her lil brother.

her milestones to-date included:

Physical /Cognition
- Learning to wear/pull up her training pants/panties, trying to un-button her top and putting on her socks

- Can correctly identify family members either in photos or in person - but still unwilling to call them unless being prompted (she's still scared of her 2nd uncle!)

- Showing preference for clothings, activities, toys and food - even asking for mommy or daddy to let her bite direct from the chicken wings/drumlets.

- Her must-do bedtime routine includes reading ALL her Joy Readers (Level 1) story books, listen to the CD and counting the *stars* on the ceiling.

- Able to concentrate a little longer (half an hour) watching DVD/VCD/cartoon programs and understand the content more via participation or response.

Language/Emotions
- More aware of gaby's presence and attention given to him; hence at times showing a little displeasures by being a 'baby' herself

- Being vocal in her thoughts and actions and babbling her own 'language' - we have to keep prompting her to speak properly.

- Loves to sing birthday songs and will even dance and clap and pretend to 'blow' candles after the song ends.

- Able to hold very short conversation with mommy over the phone.

- Can count 1 to 10 in English but often missing her number 2 :)

and mommy finally spotted a tiny little lower right cuspid sprouting out again - previously was there and suddenly it disappeared. Now it's finally sprouting out again. :)

hopefully mon cherie will have all her baby teeth out before she turns 3!
