As I've mentioned before, I love to read books! I've been working hard on learning my letters for a couple of months now and have mastered all 26 now! I'll be reading words before you know it! Then, I can participate in the eye-tracking experiments that Mommy runs in her lab at Skidmore and start earning some cold hard cash!
I've also been working on learning my numbers and can identify the numbers 4, 8, and 9. And, I can count to 2. Hmmm...if you can only count to 1, is it really considered counting? What if you count to 1 in the middle of the woods and nobody hears you do it? Finally, ever since I discovered putting words together, my expressive language abilities have exploded (in a good way!). I talk all the time! I love repeating what other people say and have picked up on sayings like "awesome", "nice", "good idea", "hey now", "oh my", and "sorry about it". I also use words to communicate things that I want or need saying, "Daddy help", "Kaira want it" and "Kaira touch it". When I'm playing with a fun toy or when someone gives me fruit snacks, I say "Kaira excited". Impressively, I can even use the "ing" form of words ("Kaira helping") as well as possessives ("Mommy's shoes") and past tense ("pooped"). And all of that in just 2 weeks since I first uttered the phrase "Night, Elmo". Language development is amazing.
