Book Worm

We have a little book worm on our hands, she can pretty much read like a 4th grader and she is only 14 months.  Not really, but she does a good job at picking up a book and pretending she is reading.  Everytime we turn around she has a book in her hands and is turning the pages.  We signed up to do a program to encourage early childhood reading in the community, and so every month she gets a free book in the mail.  As you can see from the reaction on her face she loves to get presents, especially books!

Although this doesn't happen too often at our house she also loves to watch Mickey Mouse clubhouse on the phone.  I'm not sure if she has realized that she is watching the same episode over and over again or can't get over the fact that a mouse and duck and dog, etc are talking.

We caught her reading one of her new favorite books, Red Fred, about a birdie and all of his friends.  She loves birds and her favorite pastime is to watch the bird feeder out of our front window.

She is also taking to solids a lot better now than she used to, she's still a little bit behind in eating a lot of solid foods, but we're just lucky that God thought of bananas.  She even managed to drink 1 oz and 1/2 of whole milk yesterday which is quite the miracle in and of itself.  

She is such a happy and fun little toddler here is a list of things that she loves lately:

1) Saying "no" and shaking her head

2) Bananas

3) Doing things all by herself like eating with a spoon and fork

4) Walking and almost running everywhere

5) The outdoors

6) Dogs

7) Birds

8) Her little people bus

9) Mickey Mouse

10) Bathtubs (except she still hates water on her head)

11) Cheeseballs (for like one day)

12) Reading

13) Getting the mail

14) Brushing her teeth
