No Touch, ABC's and 1,2,3,6

Annalise is quickly learning the rules in our house which was proven last night when she was quick to point them out to someone else. Anna knows that she is not allowed to touch the remotes, the television, the computer, etc., and we have consistently phrased it to her as "No touch" sometimes adding that the object is only for Daddy and Mommy. When it comes to the computer, I say to her, "No touch. This is Mommy's". Well, last night my mom came over to use the computer and Annalise kept saying to her very insistantly at first, "No touch! Mommy's!". It was cute! Later in the evening, she opened a drawer that she knows she is not allowed to get into. SHe didn't know I was watching her (I could see her from the kitchen and she was in the dining room), and I heard her say to herself very quietly, "No touch, Mommy's". I thought it was funny that she was reminding herself.
On another note, Anna has started to join in on counting and the ABC's. She has been doing the counting for a few weeks, first starting with just the number 2 when prompted with a 1. Now, if you count with her she will interject with 2,3,4,6 and sometimes 8. If she is doing it by herself she quickly says 1,2,3 and then proudly announces 6! For her ABC's she is getting really good at putting together her ABC puzzle if you work with her. There are quite a few she will do on her own. She can tell you what some of the letters stand for too! For example, if you ask her about the A she will say "Apple" and last night my mom held up the F and asked her and she answered Fish!.
When you sing the ABC's to her, she will join in with 'A,B,C and then just smiles and bounces through the rest of it. What a silly 15 month old little girlie! I hope to post some pictures tonight!
