White rice is not far from refined sugars in terms of nutritional content and contains fewer nutrients than many other foods. Instead, look for better paleo options like fried cauliflower rice which can be created into a hearty meal by adding other veggies and mushrooms to it.
By 19-24 months your child should know a bit less than 50 words and will be picking up more regularly. It is important to watch what you say around this time to ensure that your child does not learn unsavory language. A two-year-old may start to use 2-4 word sentences to describe things or explain their feelings.
At the start of this period, most kids can follow directions and say 50 or more words. Many combine words in short phrases and sentences. By age 3, a toddler's vocabulary usually is 200 or more words, and many kids can string together three- or four-word sentences. Kids at this stage of language development can understand more and speak more clearly. By now, you should be able to understand about 75% of what your toddler says.
