Reading Books

Every night as part of the bedtime routine, we look at and/or read Mikaela's books.  She usually hands me the one she wants to read, we read it (or at least flip the pages) and then she picks another.  Sometimes she looks at the books by herself.  Tonight, she handed me one book and took another for herself and indicated I should read it.  As I did, she mimicked me by "reading" hers, this time actually talking aloud instead of just looking at the pictures and flipping pages.  I'm sure this is a typical developmentally stage, but it's the first time I've seen it and I couldn't be more proud.
