Babies, Books, and Other Blessings
At a work meeting a couple weeks ago, I was asked what I would title my autobiography. My response was "Babies, Books, and Other Blessings." Mostly, because I feel blessed in my life by many things. Everyone knows my love for my babies! Most people also know that I love to read and love to teach kids how to read. So, when I see a moment like the one below, I can't help but capture it!

This is why I usually don't take kids with me to the grocery store...
My mistake for giving him a donut in the first aisle - I had to buy some wet wipes a few aisles later!
Talented Tots
Over the last few weeks, we have come to realize that we have two talented toddlers. Kai is officially walking.
Kai is also learning to talk very quickly and has words for: mom, dada, book, bubba, milk, bottle, again, more, bed, all done, dog, and much more. He also knows baby signs for more, all done, bed, and bye. Kai loves to sing and knows the motions for his favorite songs: Ring Around the Rosy, Itsy-Bitsy Spider, If You're Happy and You Know It, Pat-a-Cake, and The Hokey Pokey (he loves to "shake it all about").
It's just amazing to see him learning new things everyday. I'm also happy to notice he has taken a much greater interest in books lately. He loves to grab a book and crawl into our laps.
Sage is also learning quickly and his memory is fantastic! He has words for everything he knows. And, when he doesn't know something, he says, "what's that?" Sage loves to be outside playing in dirt or water. We've been taking advantage of the unseasonably warm weather lately and taking a few extra romps in the fountains around town.
Sage is also becoming more social and loves to make new friends. He has a first friend, Clayton, that goes to the same babysitter. And, of course, his brother is his best buddy too.
