My 10-month-old genius

Funny how a stranger in the grocery store can make me feel like a good Mom...

Had the baby out of the carseat and over my shoulder as we're shopping for groceries yesterday.  We spot a cart with 2 small kids in it and she starts talking to them in her babble language.  Their cute, preppy mom comes back to the cart and the conversation goes like this:

Mom: "Look kids, a baby." (this is everyone's first comment...always cracks me up) "How old? Around 10 months?"
Me: (genuine chuckle), "Oh, she's my big girl, but she's almost 10 weeks"
Mom: (look of shock) "Really?! But she's holding her head like an older kid and she's watching me move around directly.  She's got great tracking. Are you sure she's only 10 weeks?"
Me: (um...I'm pretty sure), "Yep."
Mom: "Go you! That's really impressive! Seriously, go you!"
Me: "Thanks!"

Leave it to a stranger to make my kid sound like a goliath, but leave me feeling like she's a genius. :) Took it as a compliment and felt great!
