Hadley can read

There are four words that I am sure she can read.
Mommy, Daddy, Hadley and Verkley.

The other day I was pointing out that our license plate had Verkley on it.  She repeated after me and I thought, this is something to work on.
Then when we were out with Brian, I asked her what our license plate said and she said VERKLEY.  
She has recognized Hadley, mommy and daddy for a while but I really noticed that she is very interested in what things say over the past few weeks.
I love that she is always asking: what's that say?

What is "read".  At first I was hesitant to say that she can read.  Clearly she just memorized what the plate said.  But, first she told us letters, (like, two E's mom, two E's) and then she said, "Verkley".  And if we write it down on paper she can also tell us, so she has memorized what the letters say, not what the plate says.  She isn't sounding it out, but she is recognizing a group of letters and knowing the sound of the resulting word... that is "reading" enough for me.

Oh ya, and she can count, at least to two.
