They do see the smallest things don’t they - that is great!
My daughter has surprised me by trying to sound out words she doesn’t know. We have done some phonics with her, but very little and she is still unsure of blending, but is starting to get it - its as if she has discovered that even if she can’t sight read it there is still a way of working it out. She is starting to read level 1 books now (depending on which series you are looking at of course - in some of the series she can read level 3)
Well… I don’t know about reading, but I sure can brag. My almost 3 month old is willing to listen and see stuff I show him.
Irrelevant, but just because I want to do an outstanding brag… We haven’t wet a single nappy since yesterday. He yells the house down when he wants to go, and I strip him and hold him over the wash basin for a pee and we wear the same dry one again So I guess he understands “shhhhh” NOT BAD for a newbie mom and tiny baby. Uh… he’s willing to do this round the clock, but I put disposables on him at night for my beauty sleep. He’s okay with peeing into them if he whimpers and I don’t respond.
This is such a fun post. I, just like all the rest of you, and very proud of my daughter. At 4 days old she crawled 5 feet down the crawling track on an incline - how is that for a great beginning! And that was after staying in the hospital for 3 days because she was born with a fever.
She is now 13 months old, she runs and climbs on everything, says many words and strings a few together and can communicate almost everything she wants to say. She feeds herself and when she wants something when we are at the table she asks for it politely - most of the time. She has been peeing in the potty since 3 months old and pooping in the potty since about 6 or 7 months. Two weeks ago she started reading words out loud - I have words pasted up around my house and she runs around the house and reads the words, with new ones every day. She can count to three. She puts her toys back in the toybox after playing with them - a skill that very much impressed my uncle and aunt when we visited their house and she played with their grandchildren’s toys. She chooses books at the library and will pull them off the shelf and tell me what is on the cover (bear, owl, dog, etc.) She loves looking at art and can page through art books with great interest.
She does the absolute cutest wink - still two eyes, but a very deliberate wink - her granddad taught her that. She also blows kisses, says hi, and waves to everyone - a very sociable little girl. She LOVES to dance and will start bopping up and down anytime music comes on. One day we were at the grocery store and a catchy tune came one and she started bouncing up and down. She was so cute and the other 4 people in the same isle also started dancing - my little girl has already led her first group dance! She has the sweetest smile that melts my heart. I could brag more, but I’ll leave space for the next person…
