Love My Letters

Brianne continues to amaze us with the things she learns. And not just what she learns, but how fast she learns it. Around 16 months old, Brianne's verbal skills really started picking up. What started as one or two words (for the record, the first words I can remember her saying are "cake" and "cheese"), exploded into more and more words.

Of course, part of teaching her words are teaching her letters. As of today (January 25), Brianne knows almost her entire alphabet. And it's not that she memorized the alphabet song, she actually can identify letters out of order. The letters she is still working on are L, M, and N (she actually says "O" 3 times when we say the alphabet together). She can also say her letters in order, and knows which one comes next. She also knows most of the numbers between 1 and 10 (all except 4, 7, 9 and 10).

We are pretty flabbergasted at how fast she learned them, but are so proud of her! Now if we can just get her to say "Mama" and "Dada", we'll be all set - for now anyway :o)

In case you don't believe me, here's a video of Brianne saying some of her letters.


And here's some bonus shots of Brianne smiling for the camera.


I think I had my finger partially covering the flash. But Brianne still looks good!
