Jump, jump, jump around!

Happy New Year, Daphne can jump! She's been working on this for a looong time now. It's so cute to watch a toddler trying and trying to jump, and it's so cute to watch her accomplish her goal. Here are some stills from a video I took on New Year's Day, proving that Daphne can get air, or whatever the young folks are saying these days. 



Also, Daphne can confidently recognize a circle. She found a sprinkle on the floor (uh, yuck!) not quite a week ago. She looked up at me and said, "Spernkle!" I glanced at her and confirmed, "Yes Daphne. You found a sprinkle; it's a blue heart." (Those were the sprinkles we had spilled the day before, so I assumed it was one we missed.) She looked at me and said, "Circle." 
"No, Daphne, that is a blue heart."
"No. Circle. Mommy, circle."
Well, I went to check it out, and sure enough, she had a blue hole punch that was lost when we punched some flash cards the day before. Clever girl, not only did she know that she was holding a circle, she was so confident that she told me so! Of course, she thought she had a sprinkle... but she figured out that it wasn't when she tried to eat it. She's only 21 months, after all.
