Our little sponge

It is hard to believe how much our little girl is soaking things in. I often forget that even though she isn't saying much, she is listening lots!!

Tonight when I put her down to bed, we went through our routine. However, this time she always seemed to be one step ahead of me. We climbed the stairs and headed for her room. I asked her to turn her turtle light on and there it was lighting up the room in blue stars. I then said okay wait here we need to brush your teeth. She pulled open the door and headed straight for the bathroom. She said aaaa and then headed back to her bedroom. I told her it was time to read and she trotted over and handed me a book. We read some stories and then did our regular say good night to everything routine. However, this time I had her walk around with me instead of carrying her. She touched the books, chair, door, clothes and everything else to "tell" it goodnight. It is just remarkable how much she picks up on.

Similarly, every time Jeff would get her in the morning he would ask for her to hand him her bottle. Now, as soon as that door opens in the morning she frantically searches for her bottle to have it in hand when he gets from the door to the crib .. ha.

I better be extra careful from here on out because our little girl is REALLY listening and learning.
