Good Night Gorilla

Kaya's latest favorite book to read is Good Night Gorilla. If you are familiar with the book it maybe has 5-10 words in the entire story. It is basically a picture book. However, on every page is a balloon, the moon, and a banana. Kaya loves to read it and point to the balloon on every page. I didn't even realize what she was showing me at first. I then soon realized that she was finding and pointing out the balloon on each page. I was so impressed! Now, she finds the balloon, points, and says, "boon". One smart kid!

So Smart

Kaya is almost 19 months now and I can't believe it. She is learning so much everyday and makes me laugh out loud several times a day. She is so stinking smart! She never ceases to amaze me with what she knows and how fast she learns. Yesterday we ran to the grocery store, Stokes Grocery in Salem, to grab a few things. I got Kaya out of the car and held her in my arms while walking to the door of the grocery store. While walking, she looks at me, points up towards the grocery store sign, and says "apple". At first I just took it as her usually baby babble but then realized she was really trying to show me something. I looked up to where she was pointing and sure enough there was an apple in the grocery sign. I was so proud I wanted to tell everyone. My kid not only knows what an apple is, but can identify and tell me that she sees one. My girl is brilliant! It seriously made my day!
