The Slow Progression of Intelligence

Today little John discovered that he has a body. It's been so fun to watch him try to move his arms where he wants them to go and get so frustrated. As part of this new step, he clutched onto a toy and tried to bring it to his mouth. Mostly unsuccessful attempts, but found great surprise in the whole experience.

Sunshine and shadow

So, since most of you don't get to see our son on a regular basis, I thought I'd give you a glimpse at the sunshine and shadow aspects of his personality. I'd like to say as his proud mama that it's mostly sunshine with this happy boy!

Maddie Seeks the Spotlight

Not wanting to be outshined by her brother, Maddie's been capturing our attention with all her reading, writing, attending pre-school and just all around good fun. She's so sweet with her brother. It's fun to listen to her explain things like vitamins, clothing, and car seats to him.
