Katie Holmes revealed her young daughter Suri is like an “encyclopaedia”.

The beautiful actress claims she is learning so much from her “magical” 20-month-old, her first child with husband Tom Cruise, that it is like absorbing an entire information book every day.

Katie said; “You learn more and more daily and then when you have a child, it feels like you’re reading an encyclopaedia a day.

You’re always behind because children grow so fast and they’re so magical. She’s so magical so things are good.”

Katie, who is currently promoting her new movie ‘Mad Money’, also claims Suri is already making her own warbrobe decisions.

She said; “She’s very strong and bright and picks out some of her own clothes.”

The former ‘Dawson’s Creek’ star, who became engaged to Tom back in June 2005 after dating him for a couple months, never thought of her relationship with the actor as being a “whirlwind” romance.

She said; “Well, I never thought that it was a whirlwind. It was a lot of attention all at once and I had never had that attention. But I always knew to expect that when I met Tom and it was like, ‘Okay, when? Sure. Yeah. Right on. Lets do it.’ So I’ve always felt very comfortable and happy with everything.”

Meanwhile, Katie admits that she and Tom love playing with their daughter’s toys.

The Hollywood couple took Suri on a shopping spree and ended up acting like the children themselves.

She said; “We were at FAO Schwarz last night. We were running around, eating ice cream and playing with all of the toys. And Tom and I were playing with a lot of the toys ourselves. It’s fun for adults. You get carried away.”
