This morning, Alex pointed at a picture in one of her books and said, "Giraffe!"

It was a brachiosaurus.

You do know she's brilliant, right?

Pattern recognition is an amazing thing.

Fourteen months old and already a big smartypants. By the time she hits three, you guys will have to lock up any books you aren't ready for her to be reading yet!

Linnea says it's a "cog". Er.

I'm more impressed with Alex :)

Sammy looks at dinosaurs and growls. But she also does it for bears and lions. She can't say sheep, but does say "Baa" if you ask what a sheep says. Why are animal noises the first thing they learn?

Hee! That is so awesome! :)

It's funny about the brachiosaurus/giraffe confusion--Tamsin had a sleeper that was my husb& and my favorite (it was blue and green and made her look adorable) and it had an embroidered cartoon giraffe-like creature on it. Except, the giraffe-like creature was blue green with non-giraffelike spots, and kinda looked a lot more like a dinosaur. So we called it her "giraffe-osaurus" sleeper. She recently outgrew the giraffe-osaurus sleeper, which made us very sad.

Well, be fair, brachiosaurus is just a really hard word. I'm sure she knows it, but like Porky Pig trying to get out "Goodbye", she eventually had to resort to something easier. Smart girl.

At Alex's age, Sara used to point at a picture of a caterpillar and say, "DY-NO-SAUR!"

At age two, if Mark had called a brachiosaurus a giraffe and I had corrected him, he would have answered: "It's LIKE a giraffe."

Smart girl, that Alex. But then we never really expected else, did we?
