Is it normal?

She has trouble not walking and running on her toes? I know that can be an early sign of autism or ADHD. However, I wouldn’t worry about this unless she continues to do this after 2-3yrs of age. She sounds like she’s doing just fine. My sister’s son and daughter are similar in development. Her daughter is 2 and does all of these things, including the things your daughter cannot do yet. Her son is 4 and can already do multiplication REALLY well. He impressed me with how he figured out in his head what 8 x 7 was, maybe 10s after I asked him. Being advanced doesn’t always mean there is a problem. The only mildly concerning thing is the toe walking.
But to answer your question this is what my little is doing. My girl loves to flip through books and will point out and say what she sees. Can point to things I ask her too. She listens and understands simple instructions. But she asks why a lot 🤣 Loves to dress up as a princess and dances to the music. Loves to sing the songs as well and can say most of the words to songs she’s heard a bunch. She can say 3-4 word sentences. She loves using markers and crayons and chalk and is trying to use scissors now. But she can’t draw anything specific. She can undo buttons but not close them, the same with her backpack latch. She tries to put on her own clothes but hasn’t figured that out yet. She loves to climb and she can swing on a regular seat without falling off. She loves playing hide and seek and will even “count” but it’s just her making noises instead of saying the actual number haha.
I think all of this is pretty normal. The letters is the ones that sound more advanced but for the rest my boy is also doing most of these things. Does she go to childcare with older kids? Mine learns most of this stuff from older kids at childcare. Definitely not something to get concerned about. You are doing great!
All of this sounds normal/advanced, but it seems like you’re asking is something else wrong. How is she socially/emotionally? Does she smile, laugh, make eye contact? Do you feel connected with each other? If all of that is also developing then it sounds like you just have a bright child.
My son does half of the stuff you listed he knows his letters and can point them out upper and lower case, he can count to 10, he knows shapes and can do shape sorters really fast, he knows his colors also! Ive never thought anything was wrong though! She sounds normal/ maybe alittle advanced in some areas but nothing to worry about!!❤️
He also flips through books and points stuff out, he also enjoys coloring alot!
So your child does sound more advanced than my June baby, but if this is stuff that you’ve introduced and worked with your little one idk if that is a bad thing. Like I haven’t really introduced letters, numbers, shapes, or colors to her. We talk about color sometimes in play but it’s not like I’m actively working on it. So if you are and your child knows it I don’t think that’s a negative thing. They could also just be very observant and a natural learner. Especially if they are around older children or adults more than their own age. I think a concern happens when there is a lot of progress in one area of development and a lack or regression in another area.
