Counting

Julia has been able to count to 10 for a couple months now. But now she is starting to count "things". She will count on her fingers, she will count her hair bows, count her candy, etc. This weekend she was counting her steps. Jerrod and her were outside and Julia started counting the number of steps she was taking. Jerrod let her go to see how far she would get to. Well she got all the way to 10, then Jerrod asked her what came next. She took another step and said "Eleven", took another step and said "Twelve". She took another step and was stuck, so Jerrod asked her what came after 12. She thought about it and said "One" and started all over again! I must say that I am impressed!

Julia also has her ABC's down pat, without a problem! She also knows most all the colors (primary and secondary). We recently started working on shapes. She is catching on fast. I will probably start letter recognition soon, too. She already recognizes certain words.

I am still amazed at just how smart she is. She also has the memory of an elephant! I swear this girl does not forget a THING!! She can remember things from months and months ago!
