I have been so impressed lately with Isabel's language progress. She is 18 months old and such a smart little girl. One of her favorie activities is to take foam letter stickers and stick them to a huge sheet of paper that we have taped to the floor in our living room. With each sticker, I will peel off the back, tell her what the letter is and a word that starts with that letter (for instance A is for Apple). She usually repeats what I have said and then goes and sticks the sticker on the paper.
We have been doing this for weeks now and I really thought it was just a fun game - a way to keep her entertained. I always knew she knew what an O was, because we always point out O for Olivia, but I did not realize how many of the letters she was actually absorbing. The video above shows some of the letters she knows.
I also sat down today and tried to make a list of the words she knows and uses on a regular basis. I love the idea of keeping a record of this so that one day she can look back on it when she's a big girl. I also love to watch her progress, and keeping track of it every few months is a great way to watch her grow.
