Jordan FINALLY likes reading


Jordan is approaching 2 and he finally loves us to read to him.  And, of course, even better if Gigi reads to him.  Here she is reading her favorite book when she was a baby.


And he is cracking up!  He fell asleep reading this other favorite on the way to Dr. Acacio's party in the park.

Blues Clues Hanukkah and my "skirt"


NannyG read to me and Jordan the other morning when I was recovering from my stomach flu. Luckily, Jordan didn't get it. After we read the book, we played dreidel (with dimes)!

Here's my new "skirt". Mama called it a tutu, but I told her that it was NOT a tutu. It was a skirt.

Reading to Grandma

Mama was talking to Grandma on the phone and I wanted to talk to her to thank her for sending me my new Elmo books. After thanking her, I started reading to her!

Book Bath!


This morning, Daddy invited me for a party in the bath with books. We had so much fun! Mama brought in some towels to make it cozy and Daddy must have read me at least 20, maybe 25 books. What a nice way to spend the early morning.

Reading to, Hugging and Counting with Babies

In the first video, I read to my babies and then not only hug one of my babies, but made sure the other 2 babies were hugging each other (this part is a bit into the video, so you will have to have patience).


More reading, hugging and some counting...

Pictures from This Week

This week, we went to the Long Beach Aquarium. They had BIRDS at the Aquarium...huh? See the bird on Daddy's shoulder?

Before the Aquarium, we went to the Counter and had mini burgers, sweet potato fries and a shake. Right, Mommy wasn't there.



With Grandma, reading in my tent.



This morning at the Farmer's Market feeding Daddy

The Family Book (by Todd Parr)

Mama has always loved Todd Parr's books. She hasn't bought me any because they are not board books and you know how rough I can be on books because I love reading so much. Well, today, she brought me home "The Family Book" which is now one of our faves for the collection (and one we plan to buy a lot of friends for gifts). Here are the words. Not the same effect without Todd's lovely graphics, but still beautiful....

Some families are big
Some families are small
Some families are the same color
Some families are different colors
All families like to hug each other

Some families live near each other
Some families live far from each other
Some families look alike
Some families look like their pets
All families are sad when they lose someone they love

Some families have a stepmom or stepdad and stepsisters or stepbrothers
Some families adopt children
Some families have two moms or two dads
Some families have one parent instead of two
All families like to celebrate special days together!

Some families eat the same things
Some families eat different things
Some families like to be quiet
Some families like to be noisy
Some families like to be clean
Some families like to be messy
Some families live in a house by themselves
Some families share a house with other families
All families can help each other be STRONG!
There are lots of different ways to be a family.
Your family is special no matter what kind it is.

Love,
Todd

Bumbo and Book

Yesterday, Daddy and Nanny G took me to Target and bought me a purple bumbo. This morning, I tried it out while reading my new book from Grandma and Grandpa. I will be sitting up soon on my own and then I won't need the bumbo, but for now, it is fun to be able to sit in it and read.
