I was waiting for my DD to finish up dance yesterday and while I waited I was struck with how different she was as an infant. There was a 9 month old baby in the waiting room who is full of personality. She really is adorable, but I guess she is what we would classify as 'normal'. She hasn't really started talking but is vocalizing syllables such as Ma and Da. I just kept thinking how much I was in denial because not only was DD talking in complete sentences by 9 mths (Okay, talking in sentences by 6 mths) she already knew all of her ABCs along with a long list of body parts and had started to count. DD could also scribble with control and was able to draw circles by this time. Yet at this time in her life I really had no idea that was not normal and any family member that brought it up had me laughing and thinking of course you think that. Who doesn't think their child/ granddaughter/ etc is the most special thing that ever walked the planet?
