I know that I am totally biased, but I can't help but think that Marleigh is the smartest little girl in the entire world! It seems like everyday, she learns more.
Marleigh now knows several of her shapes including: circle, rectangle, triangle, and circle! :) She can point them out and call them by name. She is also consistently counting to 4. On a rare occasions, higher, but most of the time its 1-2-3-4-6. Not sure what happened to 5! She knows the colors yellow, pink, and purple. (Pretty sure Daddy taught her purple!) We've been singing our ABC's a lot lately, as well. I'll say a few then pause, and most of the time, she'll tell me what comes next. My favorite is after I say "Z", she sings, "now I know". She can visually recognize the letter "M". Athough when she says "M", it is always, "Mmmmmmm".
I am also proud of the way she follows directions. Most of the time, whatever we tell her, she does. She is even able to follow some 2-step directions. I've learned that as long as I tell her what is going on, she is fine. If I don't explain why we're doing something she gets upset, but if I talk to her like a big girl, all is well. For example, she isn't real fond of changing clothes. She doesn't throw a fit, but just doesn't really care for it. The other night she was running from me because I was trying to change her clothes. When I told her that she could take a bath as soon as we got her clothes off, she quit running and laid down to take her clothes off. She LOVES bathtime!
Oh, and did I mention teeth 5,6,7,8,9, & 10 are peaking out? It is crazy! We waited 10 long months for teeth 3&4, and she has now gotten 6 in the last 2 weeks! Amazingly, Marleigh has still been pretty happy. We're just lucky to have such a good girl!
