That sounds quite advanced to me. Possibly 18 months ahead or more?

If you hold up four fingers can she count them or does she just recite the
counting song. That would be quite impressive.

She goes along counting, like climbing stairs and such she'll count the
steps as she takes them and she sings the alphabet song and just a couple of
days ago she noticed a circle and pointed at it telling "circle". I've
heard others say shes smart but I don't want to be one of those, "look at
my child" kind of moms so just looking for an unbiased opinion

thanks

Certainly sounds advanced. I would give her lots of encouragement and access
to toys and books aimed at slightly older kids. If she doesn't get on with
them you can allways put them away until later.

Thanks for the advise. I'll definatly try to follow thru with anything
she's interested in and see where this goes.
