Makin' Daddy Proud

Here's what's currently new and cool about my daughter. I can TEACH her stuff. Actual stuff!

I've taught her to:

• Kick a soccer ball.
• Use her shape sorter
• stack her rings (not in order yet)
• Strum the guitar instead of chew it.
• Blow bubbles
• Use a spoon with about a 40% success rate.

It's really fun to teach her the names of various things. I'll point at various pictures and say "Zebra", then "Flamingo", then "fish" and then later ask her were the Zebra is, and she'll often find it! Very fun.
We've started playing "baby hat/daddy hat (mom hat, dog hat, etc.)", which involves picking up various things and seeing if they stay on her head or mine. Not only is this extremely cute, she seems to get that it's a game. She understands the idea and thinks it's funny.

She's learned to climb on to the dining room table (I didn't teach her that), and climb and descend the stairs with varying degrees of success.
Just a few minutes ago we caught her sitting at the dining room table with a pen in her hand "drawing" in a magazine. Crazy.
