smarty pants

Its just been amazing to watch Audrey the last month, it seemed like overnight her brain just clicked into a different gear and she is just turning into a toddler.

Its hard to explain in words, but she observes and learns so quickly Chad and I can't keep up she amazes us everyday with the new things she does.



For example, we had never given her a fork before (ok, I know we might be slow in this area, but the girl didn't start eating solids until about 7 months) but the first time we handed her a fork, BAM she was using it like an old pro. She could even spear her little bits of corn onto her fork and then put it in her mouth.

Same thing with a straw cup, not a sippy straw cup, but a cup with a straw (like at a restaurant) first time trying a straw, she just drank it like it wasn't new to her.

Books and Puzzles, she takes her books and flips through the pages and points at various things and makes random proclomations about the subject. Puzzles, she attempts to put back together, she is still working on this one. We have this one toy that is a shape sorter type thing. We showed her once and she picked up on it right away.

She tries to dress herself, like she went into their dress up room, and she took a crown and was trying to put it in her head.

I don't know, maybe all of this is normal for a one year old, and since I still think of Audrey as my little baby, it just blows my mind that my baby girl is growing and learning seemingly overnight!
