Rebekah's mind is definitely more mathematical than anything else. I don't know if she's necessarily advanced in math, but she leans toward math skills more than any other, and she gets it honestly. Darrin and I are both strong in math, so we are not surprised to see how much Rebekah enjoys it.
Rebekah is doing some simple addition. She has been doing this for several months, but I finally got some on video today. I think it's so funny that when she doesn't know or remember the answer she'll say, "You know..."
Rebekah can also count to 49 now, and she has recently become interested in her jigsaw puzzles again. It has been a long time since she has played with them. She likes for me to help her with them, but she can practically do them with no help. She's been doing some 48- and 60-piece puzzles, so I'm looking into buying some 100-piece puzzles for a challenge.

Good job Rebekah!! She definitely is math-inclined. You should see how she does with a 100-pc puzzle; I bought a Disney Princess one for Maggie, and it's hard b/c they're all wearing gold dresses and the patterns are very subtle. I was amazed at how well Maggie did. She needed help at times, esp. with the edges, but she was able to complete it almost totally by herself!
Rebekah looks really cute in the video too! ;)
She sure does get it honestly. She was so cute in that video. She is a smart girl. I don't remember ever learning to add before kindergarten. I only remember counting to 100 and that may have even been after I started school. Y'all are doing a really good job with her.
That is SO CUTE! You and Darrin are doing great to teach Rebekah at such a young age to LOVE math!
