It’s so much fun to see Anna learning what to do with various objects—not just playing with them, but really trying to use them the right way! Here are some things I’ve seen her do lately:

Brush her hair: After I brush her hair, I’ll hand her the hairbrush and she’ll tap it on her forehead. Hey, it’s a start.

Write: While grocery shopping the other day, she really wanted my shopping list and pen, so I gave them to her (the pen was retracted, of course). Then she started putting the pen to the paper like she was trying to write.

Talk on the phone: She’ll hold the phone up to her ear and utter a little baby coo into it.

Play pennywhistle: The other day while I was practicing, I gave her one to play with. She put it in her mouth and was making sounds vocally at first; then she actually blew into it and got a little sound out. I’m so proud!

(Update) Put on socks: Ok, I had to add just one more. I was sitting on the floor today putting my socks on, and she picked up one of my socks and laid it on my foot. This is so cool!
