You should teach her about bananas.

A smushed-up banana was actually one of the first solid foods she ate, back when we thought introducing solids was going to be easy. These days, she seems oddly reluctant to even try to eat them; I'm not sure why.

I'd be more impressed if she was counting "Zero boxes, one boxes ...". Right now she's just counting in Applescript.

You can probably teach her about generalisimos now:

One n-box, two (n+1)-box!
