Still Advanced for her age

My daughter is almost 21 months old. Almost 2.
But she still doesn't "act her age"

We're talking 3-5 word sentences "Mama you okay? You got a boo boo?"
Jumping with both feet off the ground..easily.
She can draw a shaky circle, washes and dries her hands (she loves to wash her hands)
She's been walking down stairs for a couple months now, too.
My toddler is between 27 and 30 month development.
We have full on conversations.
She knows how to describe things (Big, Hot, Cold, Chilly, Auntie's, Mama's)
And people she sees once a week, sometimes even less, she can call by name each and every time she sees them.
I take things day by day..With a "gifted" child, that's all you can do.
I encourage her to count, talk, explore her environment, but I don't force anything.

Ash I type, she's sitting watching tv (bad, I know) and going "Lolly Lolly Lolly POP!" which her auntie taught her not too long ago.

But, despite all her advances..she still has her Dih-dee (Her pacifier)
So I'm still the classifier of the pacifier!
