Growing: Letter Recognition

Mili seems to be recognizing new letters everyday lately when we read. 

She recognizes her name when she sees it and she likes practicing writing it (squiggle, line, line, line for M-I-L-I... but the line-line-line is her favorite part).   She also likes to write her name anytime she can find a forgotten crayon left out, or a pencil or pen that Mommy or Daddy left on the table  Her name and her artwork end up everywhere, on the walls, the coffee table, her chair, the washer, the front and back doors, the tile floor, even inside the gas cover on her Cozy Coupe.  Sometimes I think she has a secret stash of writing utensils she has been collecting... saving them for any moment she knows Mom and Dad aren't looking.  =) 


She also recognizes, M, B, P, O, K, J, Y and W pretty consistently as well as I and L (though she switches these up fairly often). "F" was a new letter just today.   

It is really amazing watching her grow and learn!  I'm finishing finals this week, and trying to make sure I still make time to read with her and play with her... Time is flying by lately and she is getting "big" so fast, I can't believe she'll be two next month!  She is an amazing little human being and Caleb and I love her so much.
