You're probably spending a lot of time trying to figure out what your toddler says, but does she understand everything you say? Speak in clear, simple sentences to make sure you're getting your point across.
Hearing and language development are inextricably linked, which is why you may want to have your child's hearing tested if you find that she's not talking as much or as well as her peers or can't follow simple instructions from you.
This weekend we went out to the lake and on the way she really liked seeing all of the cows. She now looks for the "moo-moos" when we are in the car! We took our first boat ride of the year and Charlotte loved every minute of it! She was saying "weeee" while we driving!
This week I asked her where the baby is and she pointed right at my belly! We are making progress.. she no longer thinks my belly button is a baby!

How your baby BOY is growing: 23 weeks down.. now in my 24 week(wow almost 6 months!)
Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she's more than 11 inches long ( holy smokes)and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb.
He is still moving a mile a minute! I am anxious for our next doctor visit to get another peak and him! I think we have narrowed down our name for little man which is excited so we can start monograming a couple of things for the nursery! We did buy our baby bedding this week to but we are in no rush to put it in the crib for a couple of months. But better to be prepared right?!
It is crazy to think in just 16 weeks we will have a baby boy in our arms!
