We're proud parents

Last night our parent educator came by for her routine visit and did a 6 month screening on Libby. She looked at 5 areas: social development, language development, fine motor, gross motor, and problem solving skills. Libby passed with flying colors. In the problem solving and social areas she is doing all of the things (and more) they want her to be able to do by the end of 6 months. She was able to pick up a block just the way they wanted her to and transfer it from hand to hand. She also did a lot of banging on the table with the block and her hands which is a huge developmental skill at this time. Her language is a bit advanced in some areas right now. Apparently most babies don't start repeating syllables (such as "da", "ba", "pa", "ma") until closer to 8 months and Libby is saying "da da da da" all the time now but she's only sometimes having "conversations" with us with she should be doing now. We were pretty thrilled with her last night! What a smart little girl we have - we're just sure that she's of above average intelligence!! :)
